I Made My 5.5kg BMC Hill Climb Bike Even Lighter With AliExpress Parts

The reviewer tests a 2020 model direct mount derailleur hanger from AliExpress on their 2014 BMC Teammachine to see if it is compatible. They note it looks identical in shape and fits perfectly, potentially improving shift quality and saving weight.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Fits perfectly on the older frame
  • Saves 12 grams of weight
  • Potentially improves shift quality

+1 more

Cons

  • It is not the officially designated part for the 2014 bike, so compatibility was a risk
  • The reviewer was concerned the angle might be incorrect (though it worked)

Are RYET Saddles Actually Any Good?

The reviewer does not mention the 'RYET Carbon 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight 175g 7*9 Bike Seating For Men Women Triathlon Road MTB Mountain Gravel Cycling Parts' at any point in the video transcript. The entire review is focused on a different product, the 'Riot Ultimate' saddle (also referred to as 'Riot' or 'Riot saddles'), which is a carbon-shelled, 3D printed saddle purchased from AliExpress. The reviewer discusses their experience with this specific Riot model, its comfort, weight, design, and price, but never references the RYET brand or model specified in the query.

Are RYET Saddles Actually Any Good?

The reviewer discusses the RYET (referred to as 'Riot' in the transcript) 3D Printed Bicycle Saddle extensively. They are no stranger to the brand and have used a previous 3D printed model. They are now testing a new high-end 'Riot Ultimate' carbon fiber, 3D printed saddle. They praise its narrow nose profile, advanced 3D printing with variable density (firm under sit bones, soft in the pressure relief channel), premium carbon shell with no flex, grippy finish on the rails, and measurement markings. They tested it on a turbo trainer for a 3-hour session and found it very comfortable, on par with their much more expensive Selle Italia SLR Boost. They highlight its significantly lower cost compared to major brand 3D printed saddles.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Comfortable, especially on a turbo trainer (a brutal test environment).
  • Narrow nose profile that suits the reviewer's preference.
  • Advanced 3D printing technology with variable density (firm for support, soft for pressure relief).

+8 more

Cons

  • The reviewer mentions that some seat clamps may not work well with its ovalized carbon rails.
  • It is not as light as some full carbon saddles with minimal padding (186g vs. 153g for another Riot model).
  • The reviewer had an issue with an older Riot 3D printed saddle having a wide nose they didn't like, but this is not a con for the new model discussed.
