These ones are fine - I have 1431 miles (2300 km) on them. The only issue is when I tried to take the spindle off of the right pedal body, it was on very very very tight. I was unsuccessful, so I'll have to go to more extreme measures when I need to service. So that's a bummer.
aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by MyBikePartsQuick update: I have to say I am quite impressed by these. 177g weighted. They are not clogged up with thick grease as the other ones, they spin very freely. Easy to setup. Haven’t tried with OG Shimano cleats, but the provided cleats work very well, they clip easily. Let’s see how they are long term. Will report back

The reviewer is replacing their existing ZTO titanium/aluminum skewers with a new, lighter set of 'risk' skewers from AliExpress to save weight.
Pros
- They are extremely light, weighing under 40 grams.
- They are the lightest ones the reviewer could find.
Cons
- The reviewer implies a potential downside of ultra-light skewers in general is that they sometimes lack large end caps, which these new ones might also have.
- The reviewer notes they must be tightened down properly to avoid problems.
Key Points
- The new skewers weigh under 40 grams.
- They were purchased from AliExpress from a brand called 'risk'.
- The reviewer is switching from ZTO titanium/aluminum skewers.
The reviewer installs the Risk titanium shifter clamp hardware as part of a weight-saving upgrade. They state it works perfectly and provides a significant weight saving compared to the stock clamp.
Pros

- Works perfectly.
- Is from a favored AliExpress brand (Risk).
Key Points
- Stock clamp weighs 8.5g.

- Saving is 5g per shifter, 10g total.
aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by MyBikePartsThe reviewer discusses their experience with the ZTTO Ultralight SLR Gen 3 cassette, which they have purchased as a replacement for a previous ZTTO cassette that failed. They note it is a newer, supposedly improved generation.
Pros
- Offers a massive weight saving (around 127g).
- ZTTO has reportedly gone back to the drawing board to improve it.
- The weight has been increased slightly from the first generation, which is theorized to improve durability.
Cons
- The reviewer's previous first-generation ZTTO cassette failed 'pretty disastrously'.
- They are skeptical about its durability, especially under high power (e.g., 450+ watt hill climbs).
- They explicitly state they are not ready to endorse or recommend it yet.
- ...and 1 more
Key Points
- This is the new 'SLR Gen 3' version.
- The reviewed sample weighs 127.1 grams.
- It is about 15 grams heavier than the failed first-generation model.

The reviewer mentions the Bigrock cranks as an upgrade installed in a previous video (part one). They state that the cranks were installed with their stock spider and a 4-bolt chainring, which was light but didn't save much weight versus their previous SRAM Red crankset. However, the Bigrock cranks did fix the chainline 'in a quite considerable way.' The reviewer notes the cranks are set up to work with 3-bolt SRAM direct mount chainrings, which allowed them to upgrade to a lighter E13 direct mount chainring for further weight savings and a cleaner look.
Pros
- Fixed the chainline 'in a quite considerable way.'
- Set up to work with 3-bolt SRAM direct mount chainrings, enabling a lighter chainring upgrade.
Cons
- When installed with the stock spider and a 4-bolt chainring, it 'didn't save me much versus my SRAM Red crankset.'
Key Points
- Installed in a previous build (part one).
- Used with a stock spider and a 4-bolt chainring initially.
- Uses a 3-bolt SRAM direct mount standard.

aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by MyBikePartsaliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by Tom Bowers CyclingThe reviewer discusses a derailleur hanger alignment gauge, which is a TOOPRE tool, multiple times throughout the video. They state they have used it almost daily for nearly four years and find it fantastic. They demonstrate its use by showing how to check and straighten a derailleur hanger, explaining the principle of using an elastic band to compare alignment at the top and bottom of the wheel. They mention it is exactly the same as any other derailleur hanger alignment gauge and is suitable for both aluminum and other materials, with a caution about aluminum work-hardening after one straightening.
Pros
- Fantastic tool.
- Used almost daily for nearly four years.
- Works exactly the same as any other derailleur hanger alignment gauge.
- ...and 1 more
Cons
- Aluminum hangers can work-harden and may snap if straightened repeatedly; the tool is for minor tweaks, not major bends.
Key Points
- Used for checking and straightening derailleur hangers.
- Operation involves spinning it to the top of the wheel, setting an elastic band, and swinging it down to compare alignment with the wheel.
- Can be used to leverage and straighten hangers.

They mention they used it quite a lot in the past but do not use it anymore, having switched to a BSC kit. They describe it as a bit fiddly to assemble initially but confirm it works for pulling bearings out and installing them. They note it includes different sizes and did the job without breaking.
Pros

- It did the job.
- It works really, really well.
- ...and 3 more

aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by BCRThe reviewer mentions the TOOPRE screwdriver twice. They first list it as part of the initial tool collection, describing it as a 'cross-head screwdriver'. Later, they discuss screwdrivers in general, noting that they are not used a great deal on modern bikes, but that the TOOPRE one would work for occasional home mechanic use. They compare it to a Park Tool JIS screwdriver they own, which they praise highly.
Pros
- For occasional home mechanic use (once or twice a year), it is stated that 'this is going to work'.
Cons
- The reviewer notes that screwdrivers are not used a great deal on modern bikes, implying limited utility.
- They also mention that the TOOPRE screwdriver might be 'too big for a lot of stuff', suggesting a need for a smaller size as well.

- It is suitable for occasional home mechanic use.
- The reviewer suggests a smaller size might also be needed for some tasks.
aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by BCRThe reviewer mentions a 'pedal spanner' as part of a collection of AliExpress tools being tested. They state it is basically a 15mm spanner that is thinner on the end to fit behind pedal cages and longer for leverage. They use it to remove a pedal, noting it works without issue. They compare it to their usual Weiha brand tool, noting the main difference is the length, with the Weiha offering more leverage. They conclude the AliExpress version does the job perfectly well.
Pros
- It is thinner on the end to get in behind pedal cages.
- It is longer than a standard spanner for more leverage.
- It works without any problem for removing pedals.
- ...and 1 more
Cons
- It is shorter than the reviewer's preferred Weiha brand tool, offering less leverage.

aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by BCRThe reviewer discusses a basic torque wrench from TOOPRE (referred to as 'two pre' in the transcript). They describe it as a manual tool that provides an indication of torque by flexing a handle, rather than being a highly accurate click-type wrench. They test it on a stem bolt, comparing its indicated 6 Nm setting against a preset Park Tool torque wrench, and find it to be reasonably close. The reviewer positions it as a tool for home mechanics who need a basic guide to prevent overtightening, rather than for precision work.
Pros
- Provides a good indication of torque to prevent overtightening bolts.
- Suitable for occasional home mechanic use.
- Comes with a selection of bits, including some Torx bits.
- ...and 1 more
Cons
- It is not going to be 100% accurate.
- It is described as 'nothing like' a digital or professional click-type torque wrench in terms of precision.
Key Points
- It is a manual torque wrench that flexes to indicate torque.
- The handle bends, and a scale shows the Newton meter reading.
- Tested by torquing a stem bolt to an indicated 6 Nm.
- ...and 2 more
aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by BCRThe reviewer discusses an internal routing kit tool, which they mention having multiple versions of from different manufacturers.

They state it is useful for situations where liners were not left in the frame during disassembly or when building a new frame. They note the kits can be fiddly but are effective for getting out of trouble. They also mention that the components from different kits are often compatible, allowing one to build a comprehensive collection.

We love new bike tech and follow bike brands extensively. Riding bike can be a very price intensive thing, but it can be made more accessible by saving some money, and spend it on the parts that matter mostly for you. After a couple of thousand kilometers, most buyer can determine the quality themself. Some YouTubers already have a successful history with using cheaper parts from Aliexpress or eBay. To crowdsource those experiences, we've made this site, to seperate the wheat from the chaff. To be honest, there is also a lot of crap or mediocre stuff out there, but at the same time you can find reliable and quality stuff.
