MegaCarbon US$350 fullset 50mm carbon road bicycle wheelsets 1452g Sapim spokes tubeless compatible ratchet system
WheelsCame across a small brand named Megacarbon, who had some nice G3 / 2:1-laced Campagnolo-style laced wheels. Went and got the premium offering of theirs for a total of 525 dollars delivered, not caught in customs. Build quality is class, it's got a Ratchet style hub, and they came readily taped with DT swiss brand tape. Weight around 1320g. Really impressive stuff. They have a cheaper version as well that you can get in for less than 400 dollars here: Also came across the very fake-sounding "Qora", not Bora, in a similar style here. Looks very stylish from the pictures at least. Now i know G3 lacing might be utterly stupid for a front wheel but i'll give these things a bit of travel this season and we shall see how well they hold up.

elitaone Offset 20mm MTB/Road Bike Seatpost 27.2/30.9/31.6mm Carbon Seat Post UD Bare Carbon
SeatpostIch fahre diese am Stadtrad, problemlos, angenehmer leichter flex, nettes Upgrade; habe sie auch in lackierter Optik und ohne Off-set (aber gerade nicht verbaut). Kann nichts Negatives sagen. Wie erwähnt Anleitung beachten und klemmung drehen. Die rail-klemmung und Winkeleinstellung wirkten anfangs etwas „eigen“, da hatte ich noch die meisten Bedenken. Aber auf dem Stadtrad wird sie auch recht defensiv gefahren, keine großen Krafteinwirkungen.
Bicycle Bottle Holder Full 3k Carbon Fiber Super Light Road/Mountain Bike Cycling Water Bottles Cage Holder Matte Glossy 16g
Bottle-CagesI've ordered lots of different bottle cages and these are the best in my opinion, hold even large bottles very well. They are close to the design of the Bontrager xxx cage. About 18g if you go lighter than that there is always some compromise. The first one is my favorite.
