Review: 8/10
Details: Very happy with this item. Would give it a 10/10 but I don't have a real Paul Comp seat post to compare it to, so I have to assume it could have small differences. Installation was easy (no different than any other seat post) and does what it's expected to do.

Thomson Elite 27.2 Seatpost:

Details: I haven't installed it yet, but I've owned genuine Thomson seat posts in the past and this one looks identical to them. It didn't come with a Thomson bag, which is why I've knocked some points off. Otherwise, though, this looks to be a solid replica with no issues.

100 PSI RRSkit portable electric pump for $25 USD. I stopped carrying a regular pump and just put this in my back jersey pocket now:

I have 3 versions of this light;

I use the 2400 lumen, 4000mah 3 LED version on my gravel bike. Its worked great for 6+ months. Doesn't last long enough for running 3-4 hours but I only use it to light up the night for a couple hours at a time and use tiny but silly bright drone blinky lights for my "being seen" marker lights. It lights up enough for road and gravel rides in pitch black for sure.

I've been using the 5200 lumen, 8000mah 5 LED light on my mountain bike for 6-8 months as well. I do night rides about once a month on it and its lasted 2-3 hours on high. It is crazy bright and I have yet to encounter someone with more light on their bike for under $150. It makes the 1000 lumen headlamp I use pointless in all but the most vertical or fastest places where you can utilize the head lamp pointed high too see around turns/hills.

I just received the 6000 lumen, 10,000mah 16 LED light. I haven't compared it anywhere except the garage, hoping to get out early this coming weekend and compare it on the trail with my buddies who also has the 5200 Lumen.

I've used the supplied powerbank feature on all of them just in testing to see if they'll charge my phone or my computer and they do. But, I don't see myself needing such a feature very often.

Got mine here. They have 140+160 MT800 and MT900 too. Very fast shipping to me in US.

All I do is climb and descend and I think the Onirii rotors are legit. They're being used by the sponsored Onirii pro race teams in Asia. Plus they make a cool whooshing sound when you brake!

I've been using these Onirii rotors. I just weighed them last night and they weigh 102g for rotor + 7g for lock ring. The Onirii stuff has been really top notch. I ended up buying a 2nd pair rotors for one of my road bike after good experiences with the 1st pair I tried on my other road bike.

Been using this Mixed saddle on my gravel bike. Its taken some hits on rough roads and is holding up nicely.

I've been riding this padded carbon saddle for a few weeks and have been pretty happy so far. I was on a unpadded EC90 for a while, the original and replacement cracked in the same spot but I kept riding them with gorilla tape. Unfortunately I did myself a disservice and shredded a few bibs in the process. Really wish I had gone for one of these padded carbon saddle in retrospect and they are still light around 120g.

This one feel like it could be a tad narrow as I find myself slipping over to one side or another so time will tell.

I decided to try one and got this. Yes, it would seem to be 3d printed. Don't see any other way to produce the lattice structure. Quality is good. It is made by Cosy Saddles and is their model ZOUWU1.0A-01. Nylon shell and Cr-Mo rails. 264g. The padding has much more give than foam (when you press with a finger) but when you sit on it it doesn't feel soft and you don't bounce. The sitbones push in and relieve pressure but otherwise support at the rear is good and much firmer feeling than I expected given the softness of the padding. I didn't notice a big (or any difference) in softness between the different parts of the saddle. If anything the front, which is claimed to be the softest, is the firmest, mostly because the padding in this area is the thinest. The middle of the saddle has quite a bit of give due to the construction (large cutout) and flex of the shell and it's difficult to seperate this from the the padding. That said when I have used a cutout before I found the firmness of the edges to be problematic and I don't feel that with this saddle. The transition at the edge of the cutout is seamless and barely noticeable. I have not done any long rides yet so can't comment on how it feels after 3-4 hrs. For short rides it has been comfortable. In the end, the saddle shape has to work for you but the 3d padding does seem to be an improvement over foam, it gives where it needs to without being overly soft. It isn't a gimmick.
