KEMALOCE Men Cycling Bib Shorts Solid Blue&Black 5D Gel Pad Mountain Bike Shorts High End Outdoor Breathable Bike Tight Knicker
Bib-ShortA while ago I asked about buying the above bibs. I received them a while ago, and did some rides with them, here are my impressions: - the material is not very stretchy, especially the upper part. - the rubber part seems tight and keeps the bibs in place on my legs well. - the padding is excellent and fairly comfortable even on a few 4+ hour rides. - the pockets are nice to have, but I don't really see myself using them. Feels like a gimmick to me. Regarding the first issue, I have to mention I went with size M, and I am 184cm tall and weigh 69kg. I didn't want to size up like I usually do with AliExpress stuff, because I had bad experience with oversized bibs before, but these bibs are really tight on my legs. If I would had gone with size L, it would have been much better, and I probably wouldn't notice the degree to which the material is not stretchy. I also have a similar style BCBE bibs, but they are too large -- however, they feel like they are made from a higher-quality material, especially the straps.

YKYWBIKE 2026 Unisex Sport Socks Micro-reflective Bicycle Road Bike Running Cycling Socks Breathable Moisture-absorbing Socks
SocksBought a handful from Aliexpress recently and these are feet down the best socks I have ever worn. Amazing! Quality is superb. Feeling like walking on silk clouds. Stylish, slim and perfect ankle height. The peeps on the block mistook me for Van Der Poel with these socks, they really are that good.

Cheji Men's Bib Shorts Quick-Drying Breathable Seamless Craft with Belgian Foam Pad for Comfortable Cycling Experience
Bib-ShortI bought this recently and it arrived yesterday. I'm a big fan of Cheji bibs with their red pad (I currently have five pairs in rotation), but this one was a no-go for me, so I returned it for a full refund. The good: Great quality for the price. The straps are comfortable, and the leg grippers are well done. The red pad works really well for me. I can comfortably ride for 3–4 hours, and probably longer, while still feeling well supported. The bad: The 'seamless' style of bibs just doesn't seem to work for me. I had another AliExpress-branded seamless bib before and didn't like that one either. When worn, it feels like I'm stuffed into a hot dog casing. Another issue I have with seamless construction is that the fabric doesn't seem as breathable as traditional bibs. They also seem to have messed up the sizing on this model. I've always ordered a Large from Cheji and the fit has been perfect. On this particular model, the leg length was noticeably longer than usual—it practically reached my kneecaps, LOL. Overall, the quality is there, but the fit and seamless construction made it a dealbreaker for me.

KOOZER CX1800 700c Felge mit Scheibenbremse 28L
WheelsThe wheelset I got initially are these Koozer CX1800 alloy wheels which are very cheap but also somewhat heavy. Apart from that, they have been very good, even spoke and haven't gone out of centre even though I hit a few potholes rather hard...

Chaser New 6-ULTRA G2 Ultralight Center Lock Disc Brake Discs Road Bike Gravel Disc Brake Disc 160/140mm Without Locking Cover
Disc-RotorsI have a thousand mi or so on them, the cheap ones that are 25 bucks or so. No issues compared to stock Campy rotors (I'm running Wheeltop Tx with Campy calipers). My setup is centerlock, but I'm using 3rd party adaptors as they're lighter than the built in centerlock options. No improvement either, other than they weigh about the same as the lighter Campy rotors for much less $$ and have some bling factor. The main difference between these and the lighter units (ie Carbon Ti, chaser) is that the "floating" buttons on the cheap ones are ss whereas the expensive ones use ti. So there's a few grams in weight difference.

2024 RYET 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight Hollow Comfortable Full Carbon MTB Road Racing Bike Cycling Seat Bicycle Cushion Parts
SaddleRegarding longevity, I have a Ryet Ultimate with 3D printed padding in use since end of 2024. It has about 8000 km of mileage. It's holding up well so far, it also survived a minor crash. I have the EVA padded Ultimate on another bike since last year with 2000 km or so of mileage. It's holding up well, too. So personally I can't complain!

2025 RYET Ultralight Full Carbon Bike Saddle Leather OVAL 7x9MM Bike Seat Cushion Comfort Ergonomic Design for Road MTB Gravel
SaddleI got this one because it is small (128mm), optics are quite good. Weight is 80g and it is padded. Because some other saddle maybe tend to kill your bib sooner or later. I payed 70$, maybe in a other shop it is cheaper. This was just the link from my order ago. So far no problems after 6 months

Bib-ShortÜbrigens mal kurzes Feedback zu dem Thema: Bekleidung von Aliexpress. Da sich das hier ja zum allgemeinen Aliexpress Thread gemausert hat. Ich bin seit langem mal wieder meine Rapha Core bib gefahren und direkt nach 25 Minuten Schmerzen. Also die Bibs aus China mit dem Elastic Interface Polster sind einfach echt gut für den Preis. Hab mir jetzt ne 2. bestellt und sortiert alle anderen, alten Bibs aus

KEMALOCE Cycling Bib Shorts With Side Pockets Man Blue&Grey&Red Bike Shorts Gel Pad High Quality Compressed Bicycle Bib Pants
Bib-ShortI got these a couple years ago. I wore them 1 ride and tossed them in the bin. They had a different chamois in them at the time which I didn't like at all. (It was super thick and junky) The bibs material was very thick and wasn't super stretchy like darevie, ykyw, bcbe.

OG-EVKIN FK-007 29er 15x110mm Thru Axle Black Carbon Mountain Bicycle Fork 1-1/8-1-1/2" MTB Forks Bike Parts Bicycle accessories
ForkI have this on my ebike mtb/commuter. It's been great, no issues so far in six months or so since install. I've taken it down a few advanced trails, no big jumps or drops, just a few bits of chunk and hard braking on steep slopes, nothing broke. I bought four carbon forks from Ali last year and it has the best design and finish. Trace Velo vouched for OG-Evkin which was what turned me on to them, he's riding one of the their carbon frames.

GOLDIX BB68 / BB92 tretlager fahrrad Adapter Kurbel 1.37/24mm für MTB Rennrad DRÃCKEN tretlager
Bottom-BracketThis Goldix BB was also junk. It at least managed to keep itself together through a couple of crank installs but when i finally tightened everything up it didn't spin well at all and had a weird resistance spinning forward that wasn't there spinning in reverse. No more cheap BB's for me.
