aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by Trace VeloThe reviewer discusses the BUCKLOS Road Bike Bottom Bracket BSA 68/73mm Bicycle BB for SRAM DUB 29mm Crankset CNC Process Spindle Threaded Road Cycle Parts in the context of using it with a SRAM DUB crankset on a steel road bike. They mention that the bottom bracket is a BSA type designed for a 24mm axle but is being used with a DUB crankset that has a 29mm axle, which requires thinner bearings.

- The setup works with the SRAM DUB crankset despite the axle size mismatch

- The reviewer is not optimistic about the long-term durability of this configuration
Key Points

They note the shifters are chunky but express high hopes based on previous positive experiences with an earlier version of this group set. The shifting is described as light, clicky, and precise, operating similarly to Shramm's double tap setup. However, they highlight some inconsistencies between the left and right shifters, including differences in rubber quality and design.

pandapodium.ccStore LinkThe new’ish IIIPro floating center lock disc rotors are pretty good. I have them on 3 wheelsets and braking is solid. Just make sure to use a disc rotor truing tool if they’re not straight.
I bought cycling bibs from Rion. Done 500 miles so far and still comfortable, really nice pad and the bib is good quality. Specifically like these as the inseam length is 2cm longer than other bibs and I like th extra thigh coverage.

aliexpress.comAffiliate-Link by MyBikePartsaliexpress.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 The rating systems of the those sites is usually unreliable, as a lot of reviews might be fake, outdated or very unspecific.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.
