Bicycle 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight Carbon Fiber Road Mountain Bike Seat Cushion Hollow Comfortable 3D MTB Saddle Seat
Saddle
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.

2025 Large Size Cycling Shoes Men Breathable MTB Cleat Shoes Self-Locking Racing Road Bike SPD Shoes Ultralight Bicycle Sneakers
Shoes&SocksI've got 2 pair of cheaper AliEx shoes much like these; https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807136310263.html
They are "ok". The cleat placement was very far forward and the toebox was very narrow.
I have some $70 Bontrager road shoes that absolutely blow them out the water in comfort for road shoes.As far as mtb/gravel shoes I almost always wear my Shimano rx8s but I have a pair of Adidas and a pair of five10 shoes that I strap on when I know i'll be walking a bit during a ride.
I grabbed them for under $30 from Ross and TJMaxx. You'll have to go into a Ross continually to find the five10s. TJMaxx has Adidas, shimano and five10 and a website to search and order from.
https://www.sierra.com/s~bike-shoe/ (as of april 9,2025 they have a few adidas and shimano road shoes for $30-60 including the shimano rc702 for $60 in 41,42,46)

LightCarbon LCR017-D
FrameHello everyone,
I'm finishing assembling my LCR017-D, and everything went very well. Communication with LC was very good, but this isn't my first bike... I've already assembled a mountain bike for my son and ordered several pairs of wheels, road, CX, and MTB. I've always been very satisfied. I received a product that, to me, was in perfect condition, both inside and out. The paint and stickers were exactly as requested.
All I have to do is clean it, remove one or two spacers depending on my test ride, and install a saddle. So far, the only problem is the customs fees.
This is the version for larger riders , I'll give you the weight with the saddle...
Thank you for this forum's existence and everyone who participated.
Have a nice day!

OFFBONDAGE Bicycle Light Front 1000Lumen Bike Light 4000mAh Flashlight USB Charging MTB Road Cycling Lamp Bicycle Accessories
LightsA while ago I bought this light for $15 but for the first time I used it in pitch dark and I must say it has a nice uniform spread and the most well defined light cut off line I have ever used. I am actually astonished how nice the throw is on this thing, brand name notwithstanding. A word of warning, its quite a chonker. It does not look big in the photos but it is something in real life. I feel its a copy of something else but I can't be sure.
