KORE Carbon Spoke Wheelset
ForumChinertown

KORE Carbon Spoke Wheelset

The KORE Carbon Spoke Wheelset is a budget-friendly carbon wheelset available on platforms like AliExpress and eBay, with prices ranging from around €300 to $450. Users report weights as low as 1200g for a 24/30mm set and 1290g for a 50mm steel-spoke version. The wheels feature carbon spokes and deep rims (e.g., 50mm), with some versions including rim tape, spare carbon spokes, and TPU tubes. They are noted for their stiffness, particularly lateral stiffness, and quick acceleration response. However, concerns are raised about crosswind stability due to the deep rims and carbon spokes. The hubs are described as well-greased, and the wheels are considered a value-for-money option, though some users question reliability at the low price point.

XCADEY VENTUS Carbon Fiber Power Meter Crank
ForumChinertown

XCADEY VENTUS Carbon Fiber Power Meter Crank

The XCADEY VENTUS Carbon Fiber Power Meter Crank is a budget-friendly carbon crankset with integrated power meter, featuring a 24mm titanium spindle and available in various lengths (160-172.5mm). Users report it as one of the cheapest carbon crank+PM combos on the market, with prices ranging from €319-€519 depending on region and sales. The crank arms are noted for being very stiff and bulky, with a Q-factor of ~148mm. The power meter uses a 5-bolt proprietary interface that appears cross-compatible with SRAM 3-bolt standards, and supports Shimano 4-bolt 110BCD chainrings. However, there are significant concerns about power meter accuracy, calibration issues, and quality control problems.

DAREVIE Cycling Bib Pants Winter Warm Thermal Fleece Windproof Cycling Pants Anti-water Cycling Bib Tights Trousers 120KG/m³ Pad

I got a pair of long bib tights from Darevie. I am 193cm tall and weigh 85kg. Size XXL. They are long enough and the legs are nicely tight. The straps could be a bit shorter. They are very much too large around the belly; had to take about cm in and they are still a bit too loose. They are made from a slightly thicker and windproof material in the front and lighter and more breathable material in the back. Blocks out wind and road spray efficiently. Quite warm, I don’t think I would ride in them over 10 degrees. Good down to -8 at least. The pad is ok for winter rides which are shorter for me.
