aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by MyBikePartsThis site was made by us, to provide a good overview over the quality of various bicycle parts sourced from Aliexpress, Taobao, eBay and similiar marketplaces which lists mostly non-brand manufacturers. The rating systems of the those sites is usually unreliable, as a lot of reviews might be fake, outdated or very unspecific. Also, Aliexpress in particular only allows reviews for a very brief period after the sale, so long-term reviews and longetivity are not easily estimated.
Some of the links to those sites include an affiliate link, so when you follow that link and buy the product, the reviewer of that link receives a small commission, usually ranging between 1-7% of the sale price. All affiliate links are marked as such.

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. YouTubers, like TraceVelo 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.
