2024 11.11 / Black Friday sale planning

[frenzen]

Finally decided to pull the trigger on the P505 Powermeter. The cheapest option includes the Z-race cranks and a BB, lol... so that's what I went with, and had to get a new chainring to go with it, lol.

do you have a link?

Unfortunately, about 50 bucks more with delivery to EU. Prices tend to vary a lot depending on delivery country.

But I like how the Magene PM becomes the "forum's standard"

Funny, I bought the same setup this morning. With coupon codes it was about $227 USD after tax. It was the cheapest option amongst the stand alone Magene PM and another PM/Zrace crankset with chainring. I don't plan to use the cranks though. I'm going to use the PM spider on my Riro carbon crankset instead.

Yeah, 227 after the coupons, I think.

Also not gonna use the crankset, but whatever/whatever.

You can use the PES magene set and just use the spider for the Riro? What’s the anticipated weightsaving and are you happy with the riro?

I have the magene PES currently but I just don’t like the looks. And it’s a bit heavy

Ah I see you have the 24mm version.

After reading all the messages here, I know I'm not alone.
My wife also wonders why strange packages appear on a weekly base.

There is always a bike that has to be build for whatever reason I find.
Ordered another frame. Just have to sell some stuff before I explain why I needed the frame that I didn't need.

Stopped racing last year, I have some weeks before the frame arrives. Maybe I need to complain about back pain every ride now. Haha

A bit of topic question: there are too many variables ("standards") here at once (BB, BCD, etc.) above my knowledge/experience level, is there a variant of this powermeter which will accept this Specialites TA set?

Which one was it at the end? Good deal?

No those are GRX chainrings, you need road standard for the magene spider.

Qilefu store on ali, but already cancelled pfff. Found out they are also behind LERT store that is selling very bad counterfeit wheels. Wife will be happy now atleast

they mention that the inner ring is an 80mm mounting dia. None of these cranks are compatible w/that. you should be able to mount one-piece 110bcd doubles though.

Had been watching prices for awhile and decided to press buy on a bunch of smaller items. 2 YKYW bibs (one standard, one thermal) a headlight, a tail light, fresh bells and drop bar mirrors, gloves, tubes, and a chest strap.

"Saved" a couple dozen dollars with stacked coupons and such, really didn't "need" much of it, but one must treat themselves occasionally right?

I'm anxious to see how well the bell and smart tail light works. Anyone else have experience with these?

AliExpress just dropped a few more coupon codes, I’m sure they’ll be adding more before the sale ends.

I don't have this one, but I have one of the Xoss 'smart' lights with similar features. It supposedly detects braking and brightens when you brake. It also goes to 'sleep' to conserve battery when it doesn't detect any motion. Overall, I like my Xoss light. The braking feature may or may not work, but I'm not worried about that. The auto-sleep at least once went to sleep on my bike that's very smooth. I was not pleased with that, and I've been paranoid about it ever since. On my road bike, it doesn't seem to have that problem at all since it's a much stiffer ride and feels the vibrations and motion much more intensely.
