The reviewer discusses the Incolor Zoney 12 Speed 11-30t 199g Road Cassette as part of their custom bike build. They highlight its lightweight nature, being 199g compared to Shimano's offerings, and its affordability.

  • Cheaper than Shimano Dura-Ace
  • Machined from one piece of aluminum

I've mentioned this base layer on the Chinese cycling clothes thread, but I'll drop them here. I'm a big fan of these inner mesh tank tops. They're cheap and effective at wicking away sweat on hot days and keeping me a bit warmer when temperatures drop. On Pick 3, they're less than $3 USD a pop.

5.0/5
Usage: Light
  • Great comfort compared to 2 cheaper "3d-printed" style saddles I tried.
  • very grippy, so less sliding on it, which is like
  • Also suitable for "heavier" riders (85kg), other 3d-printed were too soft and you always sat on the cover underneath
  • Note: My seatpost (EC90) has one screw that needs to be tightened from above, I could fit my hex key through the mesh and did not break anything, as the mesh is made of elastic/gummy material
