AERORAPTOR ALL ROAD Carbon Disc Brake 700c 40mm Gravel Wheelset Tubeless Wheels System 36T HUB AERO418 Spoke Bike Wheelset
WheelsSharing my recent experience with Tagoola, ordered two wheelsets from them through AliExpress:
Aeroraptor ALL ROAD, 24mm internal, 32.6mm external, 40mm deep with CX Ray spokes:
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008351886354.html
Weight came in at around 1460g with rim tape, if I recall correctly - seems in line with the 1430g advertised (without tape)
The wheels are mounted on my Waltly custom all road with 38mm supple tires and TPU tubes.
Shaved off almost 600g versus my previous aluminum wheels with durable tires.
Asked for no decals, shipped with tubeless valves and two spare spokes.
Rim bed has holes, which is fine for me and is covered with Kapton like tape.
Wheels are true, excellent ride feel for an all road bike.
After some vouchers and with the seller's shipping method that includes delivery & tax for shipping to Europe, Germany, I paid slightly below 400 EUR.
At this price this is an excellent set of wheels for all road and gravel bikes.Aeroraptor RP PRO, 23.5mm internal, 31mm external, 45mm deep
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009041517854.html
Opted for the steel bearings, weight is 1177g (with rim tape) vs the 1160g advertised without tape
Wheels are mounted on a BMC Roadmachine and shaved off almost 400g over my previous 50mm carbon wheel with steel spokes (Scribe Aero, 4 years old).
Same as above: requested no decals and spare spokes (2 shipped), rim bed with holes and covered with Kapton like tape.
This is my first carbon spoke wheelset (spoke width 3.5mm), I would not say it is a harsh ride feel, but it feels less compliant as steel spokes.
On the other hand, because of less weight and the stiff spokes, the wheels feel more stiff when accelerating and more lively when riding and cornering compared to my previous wheelset.
After vouchers and with seller's shipping method (including delivery & tax to Europe, Germany) these were <600 EUR.Can not speak much about crosswind performance or long term relaibility, only done a few rides on each of the wheels.
Communication with Matter and the team was excellent and prompt.
Hard to believe there are better wheels, most definitely not at this price point - clear recommendation from my side.

No Logo T1 Road Bike Full Carbon Fiber Internal Cable Integrated Bicycle Handlebar Cockpit For 360mm-380mm With Mount Spacers
HandlebarI am happy user of two pairs ULLICYC integrated handlebar. It is stiff (80kg, 1100W, i dont feel any bend). Stem is ~10mm longer than in description.
RIRO Bicycle Internal Cable Stem 80/90/100MM Ultralight Aluminum Aolly Forged/CNC Handle with Spacer Road Bike Handlebar Stem
StemI've had some time using this RiRo bike stem and I like it a lot. It works well with full and semi internal cable frames. It's a bit heavier than a lightweight UNO stem, but it feel stiff and looks serious on the bike. If you want to save a minor amount of weight, you can go with titanium screws.
I can definitely recommend them at this point! Unfortunately they come in 80/90/100 sizes only.
Winspace T1600
Frame
The reviewer provides a detailed overview of the Winspace T1600, a Chinese superbike/hyperbike. They discuss its packaging, components, and various features. The frame arrives well-protected with bubble wrap and plastic bags, including the fork, seat post, and handlebars. The reviewer notes the frame's dimensions, weight, and the inclusion of ancillary components like headset spacers, top caps, and mounting hardware. They highlight the clean design of the fork, the immaculate paint finish of the frame, and the aerodynamic features such as the pointy head tube and aero fins. The reviewer also mentions the T47 bottom bracket, which offers advantages over the previous BB B86 standard. The bike is set to be equipped with Shimano Di2 and tested in a wind tunnel and time trials.

Disc-RotorsI really like these. I got them on some kind of sale. They have tripled in price. I wouldn't buy them at the current price. Really nice machining and look. Probably not as aero as a smooth domed shape, but you know....... aero is everything, except for when it isn't.

IIIPRO Rotors : These have been discussed a lot. They are great. For the money I think they are unbeatable. I just did a 15k' day on them and they never warped or rubbed on my pads. They are relatively quiet and while not lightweight, they are weight competitive at a fraction of the cost. Really good.
