[...] But before we are getting severely off-topic: I am using this mini pump since a few months. So far, very good results. It's just small and lightweight enough to fit in my mini saddle bag. Can pump ~3x 28mm tire to 65psi before it runs out of battery. Got it on sale for $23 back then. Prices are roughly the same (no sale currently), so might be still a good deal if someone is looking to replace their CO2 pumps.

have bought a towild cl1200 for commuting this winter. verry happy with it. Nice bike beam, and able to mount up or down the bars

remote could be more user friendly

Recently I've been trying the Cyclami RVL01, great product with solid power for the head unit and still sufficient visibility during days.

Check out the XOSS XL-1200. I ended up buying 2 of them, in case one runs out of battery I can have another slipped in my pocket. Awesome quality (I've dropped mine a couple of times on concrete and barely a scratch). I rarely run them at full power on the road coz they're too bright. Never tried them offroad.

I bought these wheels and after 1000km I had a problem with the rear wheel, loose spokes and the wheel was out of center if I pulled at the indicated tension. To keep the wheel centered I had to keep the spokes at low tension but after not even a few km I had loose spokes again. Terrible support, they don't want to acknowledge that it's a structural problem. I then bought a pair from Xmcarbonspeed and EliteWheels...you spend more but definitely much better and so far no problems.

Had alot of succes here with csc in the past. Ordered two of these carbon spoked wheels. I'll review them here when they artive. I took the 28mm ones instead of 30. 1300gr instead of 1210. But paid 402€ for a set..

I have these on four wheelsets across three bikes with zero issues.

I forgot there's one down side, the rotors are marked as resin pads only. Though I feel like they bite so well, I haven't had the need to use other pad material at least for road cycling. My riding consist of lots of climbing and descents as well.

The 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.

My short experience with P515.
Sale via Ali from the EU shop went very well, delivery took 3-4 days more then expected. Crank looks very good, marginal heavier than the 105. Assembly was also no problem, I ordered it with the QED chainrings. Installation on my Lightcarbon LCR017 was not a big problem, I did however have to add a spacer on the drive side because otherwise there would have been play between the two arms. First 100k tour was also problem-free, recording in. Compared to the power meter pedals seems to be lower in the numbers, maybe still needs to be calibrated. What I also noticed is that the QED chainrings are louder than my 105 crank.
I hope this can help you a little.
Best regards.

Just following up on this post. I think I've put on about 1700 miles on these shoes. Probably about 2/3 of the time on the rollers indoors. The rest outdoors in temps ranging from about 40° to 80° F. Been very comfy. Very stiff. The buckles ratchet correctly. Overall I'm very impressed with the shoes. And I'm not saying that they are great for the price, I'm saying they are great shoes. Of course it's only 6 months in so I can't say anything about longevity.

I tried Boostor TPU tubes (1000 km with them). So far, so good. No problem at all. They hold air very well even if I don't ride the bike during one week. I think that they are thicker so stronger.

I know that many people speak highly of the Cheji bibs. I purchased two pairs and didn't like either of them. I wore each once and then gave them away because I knew that I would never reach into my kit drawer and choose them among the others I have.

The premium YKYW bibs have been the best I have found on Alix so far. I would purchase those again if the prices ever come back down.

Experience has taught me that there are lots of places to save money. Bibs and brakes are not those places. Buy the good stuff.

i recently got this LAMEDA jersey on sale and i love it! they fit great, feels like aero-ish but stretches a bit to your body shape. not too thin, just enough that it doesn't look see through and the pockets don't sag
