Here is the cockpit I ordered. No issues with it, super stiff and decently light.

I'm currently running a Kocevlo saddle. I find the saddle itself comfortable, did not experience any issues even on longer (6h+) rides, apart from the saddle taking a smaller toll on my bibs.

I picked up these iiiPro disc rotors awhile back. They're a few grams heavier than my lightweight Onirii disc rotors I was using, but braking definitely has more bite. I liked them so much, I ordered a second set. Highly recommended!

Perhaps an interesting option has become available, the Chaoyang Storm R1. Available in tubed and tubeless versions, though I haven't seen the tubeless version in AliExpress yet.

Tubeless version is being raced by the St George Continental Cycling Team in Australia.

I've got 2 pair of cheaper AliEx shoes much like these; https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807136310263.html
They are "ok". The cleat placement was very far forward and the toebox was very narrow.
I have some $70 Bontrager road shoes that absolutely blow them out the water in comfort for road shoes.

As far as mtb/gravel shoes I almost always wear my Shimano rx8s but I have a pair of Adidas and a pair of five10 shoes that I strap on when I know i'll be walking a bit during a ride.
I grabbed them for under $30 from Ross and TJMaxx. You'll have to go into a Ross continually to find the five10s. TJMaxx has Adidas, shimano and five10 and a website to search and order from.

Hello everyone,

I'm finishing assembling my LCR017-D, and everything went very well. Communication with LC was very good, but this isn't my first bike... I've already assembled a mountain bike for my son and ordered several pairs of wheels, road, CX, and MTB. I've always been very satisfied. I received a product that, to me, was in perfect condition, both inside and out. The paint and stickers were exactly as requested.
All I have to do is clean it, remove one or two spacers depending on my test ride, and install a saddle. So far, the only problem is the customs fees.
This is the version for larger riders , I'll give you the weight with the saddle...
Thank you for this forum's existence and everyone who participated.
Have a nice day!

A while ago I bought this light for $15 but for the first time I used it in pitch dark and I must say it has a nice uniform spread and the most well defined light cut off line I have ever used. I am actually astonished how nice the throw is on this thing, brand name notwithstanding. A word of warning, its quite a chonker. It does not look big in the photos but it is something in real life. I feel its a copy of something else but I can't be sure.

I am running a Ryet OSPW, it's a CeramicSpeed Alpha knock-off, but is working great so far: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eva4gEg

I purchased one of these several years ago to play around on my gravel bike. It works well, but I didn't like the added weight on my gravel bike. It also raises the front of the bike up enough that I really didn't like the change in handling. After playing around with a suspension fork on my gravel bike, for forest service roads and trails where I want/need front suspension, I ride my Carbon hardtail frame with a 120mm front suspension fork. My hardtail rides a lot better and is faster than my gravel bike on these types of rough roads.

I bought my first couple gear from Aliexpress, I'm really pleased with what I have so far. I'll definitely be trying out more cycling clothes soon, as I update my wardrobe. I normally wear Asian S or EU XS.

RISESBIK Men's Cycling Vest

As accordingly, I ordered XS (the size chart is in EU). It fits me perfectly, however the only thing I wish is that it had back pockets. I'd rate it 4/5 though for value & quality.

Cycling Socks (from GKRQ Official Store)

Phenomenal value. I was surprised at the quality of these - these easily compare to my Rapha & Assos socks. 5/5, I paid $20 CAD for the Raphas (on sale) while I paid a little under $4 CAD for these. I'll be kitting my wardrobe out with these!

Shimano Cleat Covers
I can't say if these are genuine or not, but I don't really mind if they're fakes. They fit on my SPD-SL cleats, they protect them as accordingly and they'll make expensive cleats last longer. 5/5 - it's cheap, you can store it in your back pocket and you can walk without damaging your cleats while finding it easier to walk, because it's made out of a rubbery hard material.

I have this version on my track bike - seem nice enough

I bought a pair of raceworks spd pedals a while back. I have only used them on my indoor trainer but they have gotten some decent use. I have no complaints about them at all. For $18 bucks I'm super satisfied. I can't comment on how well they would hold up in the rain and dirt. They are about 30g heavier than my shimano pedals but 10% the price.

I took a chance and picked up a pair of cheap Darevie cycling gloves. They're surprisingly comfortable, so I ordered 2 more pairs!
