Hamletic dilemma: why should I buy a Chainring Passquest for €80 instead of the original Shimano one for €60?

Are those original?

I picked up an Xcadey PM for 104 bcd in 3 bolt. Those sold out quick.

Went for pass quest one, more aero gains

Darevie EI gloves
Ykywbike Gloves
Tosuod long gloves
Rion gilet
Rion socks

Good to know G8 copies exist, I was dreading to buy new ones when my arch pieces wear out, it's hard to find them separately. I wonder if the arch pieces fit to the original G8 insoles.

Also considered the OneMix Light armor, Lining Feidan Challenger 5, and Dynafish Danian, but I got an additional 10% off in the coins page.

Trying these out. Should be the same tire compound as GP5000 tires.

Can you take a screenshot of the insoles? AliExpress won't pull it up since it's not available in the US apparently.

The link doesn't work for me either but I found these in the search I'm not sure if they're the same

I'm VERY curious about those tires - let us know how they hold up. I need to replace my GP5000s at some point and damn, are they expensive.

• Magene P515 - 216,16€
• Goldix chainrings - 29,33€
• Magene H613 - 37,91€

1x xoss x2 pro HR
1x Onirii PD-06 - Titanium

Magene TEO P515 with chainrings £407GBP. Had my eye on them for a while, then got a £110GBP off a £600GBP+ order (I had to add a few extras to the basket which I needed anyway).
