DAREVIE Gloves - XXL. 6 €, Good gloves for the price if you like padding, but XXL was to big for me. 4/5

Winter Cycling Gloves - XL. 6 €. Finger length is a bit weird. Or maybe my fingers are weird, idk. But suprisingly warm up to zero degrees. 4/5

Goldix 11sp 11-34 steel cassette: 191 grams, as advertised. Swapped with Ultegra CS-HG800, no adjustments, shifts very good (Di2), maybe a little bit biased towards shifts into a harder gear. Have not bothered to adjust the 1-2 clicks yet. Going to swap another bike with mechanical shifting soon.

I must have gotten lucky with my set. Perfect fitment and 0 leaks. I don't have to over tighten. I can shake bottle upside down and no leaks. Even a light squeeze removing the bottle when full doesn't squirt out. The flow of water is comparable to my old specialized bottles I have

Inbike bibs: The pad is thin. Haven't worn it for 5+ hours yet but it was plenty comfortable for 3-4 hours several times. Great construction, has a side pocket. Very good

I've been using these Racework SPD pedals for over a year. No issues at all. I keep meaning to pop them open and check the grease, but I still haven't gotten around to it. Hard for anyone to say any pedal is as good as a shimano pedal, but these are good. Currently $30 for a pair. Hard to beat that.

Does anyone else ever bought something from aliexpress that they didn’t know they needed but now cannot do without anymore? For me it is the chain cleaner holder. I got it for like 10 Usd.

I have this saddle in 135mm with EVA pad. It is very good if you prefer narrow near flat saddles (the pelvic support here is quite small). Very similar perfomance to my PRO Falcon, only wish it to be not short nosed.

I have this on my gravel bike. I have a lot of miles/time on it and it is excellent. Highly recommended.

I'm using the Onirii PD-06Ti pedals on one of my bikes, they've been great after I replaced the glue-like grease with something less viscous. For cleats, I use Exustar E-RSL11 cleats, and I have no lateral play. These cleats are also sold as Garmin Rally RS cleats - they're exactly the same thing, as Exustar makes cleats for Garmin. And you can save quite a bit of money by forgoing the Garmin-branded packaging.

I used ESI RCT wrap for a number of years. It's a silicone tape that is smooth but grippy and you can vary the amount of cushion/firmness by how tightly you wrap it. ESI was expensive and they are discontinuing it cause it's getting more expensive to make. This Onrii tape is a great replacement for it. It's textured on one side, but besides that it's very similar. Been a few months and I'm liking it very much.

I figured I should report back on these shoes because I gave them a bad rap previously. I said I regretted ordering them because they were not good and I didn't think they'd hold up. Well, I've likely put over 1500mi on them so far and they're holding up great. They're still not great shoes, as I don't find them to be very stiff and they could be more comfortable. Also, the way the single BOA straps tighten makes it hard to get a good snug fit on either the toe or the midfoot or both (2 boas or a 1 boa and a toe strap would probably help a lot). BUT, the BOAs have held up great. The shoe still looks great. It's a mesh material and it stays very cool and dry-ish for summer riding. Honestly, for the very little money I paid for these, you could get a worse shoe.

I recently bought this tape because a friend in my group was using it. It looks pretty cheap, it doesn't even have a brand name, but after using it for a while, it feels pretty comfortable on the drops, and its texture is quite non-slip. I would buy it again.

If you like Supercaz tape, this seems to be the real thing at 1/3 US retail (I've bought it a couple times). The various sellers of PU tape that looks like Cinelli Caledio - also pretty nice, not as durable as actual Cinelli but very close.

I've had good luck with the Bucklos tape and also the Supacaz lookalike tape. I prefer the supacaz style tape and recently replaced a set when i did some maintenance but it could easily have gone a few thousand more miles. Supacaz "style" that I've used several times now with good luck. I ordered some more to keep in my parts bin
