They explain that this tool helps straighten misaligned disc rotors which can occur from impacts. The tool has specific sizing for different disc brake rotor standards (Shimano/SRAM) and provides precise alignment compared to using an adjustable wrench. They demonstrate how it slides into the disc and pulls it back into alignment.

They compare it favorably to more basic chain checkers and emphasize its value for the price.

The reviewer mentions purchasing ELITEWHEELS carbon wheels from AliExpress for about $350, describing them as an incredible value. They highlight these wheels as one of the best upgrades made to the bike, stating that they are disrupting the carbon wheel market by offering high-quality carbon wheels at a fraction of the price of other brands.

The reviewer discusses their experience with Topeak water bottles and cages, mentioning they initially used cheaper bottles from AliExpress which failed during a ride, causing an accident. They then upgraded to Topeak water bottles and cages, noting the improved fit and security due to the design compatibility between the bottles and cages.

The reviewer discusses their experience with a cheap 3D printed saddle purchased from AliExpress for about $70. They have used it for approximately a year and a half, covering around 6,000 miles, primarily on indoor training rides. The saddle has dimensions of 240 mm in length and 143 mm in width, with 7x9 carbon rails and a weight of about 199 g. The reviewer notes that the cushioning, especially in the sitbone area, has softened over time, making it less optimal for rides longer than 2 hours. Despite this, they still recommend the saddle due to its affordability and durability, suggesting that it offers good value for the price. They also mention that the saddle has survived two indoor winter seasons on Zwift, including long endurance rides. However, they have since switched to a narrower saddle (130 mm) due to changes in their bike fit.

The reviewer unboxes and examines the YOELEO SAT C45 DB Pro NxT Gravel Wheelset, highlighting its features and performance. They note the packaging is different from previous YOELEO wheel sets, resembling a presentation box. The wheelset comes with spare spokes, valve extenders, and a valve remover. The reviewer praises the aesthetic, mentioning the dark gray background with shiny logos and a Chinese symbol. The wheels are 45 mm deep, suitable for general gravel riding or competition. They are hooked, allowing use with tubes or tubeless, and have an internal width of 27.3 mm and external width of 34 mm. The reviewer appreciates the lack of rim holes, eliminating the need for rim tape, and the use of Tor800 carbon fiber with beefed-up sidewalls (3.65 mm). The wheels weigh 740 g (rear) and 630 g (front), totaling 1370 g. The reviewer also mentions the ventilation holes to remove moisture, the Pillar Winged Arrow spokes (stainless steel, anodized black), and brass nipples for corrosion resistance. The hubs are center lock only, with 36 engagements per revolution, and feature a free hub saver to prevent cassette bite. The reviewer tests the wheels for trueness, lateral deviation, concentricity, and spoke tension, finding excellent results. They also discuss tire compatibility, recommending tires from 35 to 53 mm, and demonstrate inflation with various tire sizes.

The reviewer presents a detailed review of the Bryton Rider S810, describing it as Bryton's new flagship computer. They highlight its large, clear screen with a smaller bezel, excellent visibility, and a 50-hour battery life. Key features discussed include the routable navigation that works without a phone, the Climb Challenge feature, ambient light sensor, Strava Live Segments integration, and extensive connectivity (Bluetooth & ANT+). The reviewer demonstrates its use on the road, praising the screen and touch responsiveness, even with gloves or water. They note the device integrates well with the Bryton app. However, they identify a bug where the auto-route function for distances over 15-20 miles gets stuck in a loop and mention that re-routing can be slow.

The reviewer discusses their purchase of a cheap steel road bike frame from AliExpress, specifically the 700Cx30C SEABOARD CR05 Road Bike Frame. They mention the frame's construction from chromium-molybdenum steel, its compatibility with 30C tires, and the inclusion of a carbon fiber fork with disc brake mounts and thru-axle compatibility (100x12mm front and 142x12mm rear). The reviewer notes the frame's clear coat finish, which shows the brushed steel, and its XL size. They also highlight the internal routing for the rear brake hose and external routing for gear cables. The frame's weight is measured at 2.24 kilos, which is noted as average for steel frames.
