SUNRIMOON TT-31 STARSHIP
HelmetThe reviewer, Henry Chung, provides a detailed review of the SUNRIMOON TT-31 STARSHIP helmet. He states it is a Chinese brand's premium TT/triathlon helmet priced at $249 USD. He highlights its aerodynamic, wind-tunnel-tested shell, a sliding air vent (though finicky to operate), a photochromic magnetic visor that works day or night, an integrated dial fit system, a magnetic clasp, a rubberized 3D padded system, and an ionic antibacterial liner. It is CE and CPSC certified. He notes it weighs 517g, which is heavier than his previous helmet, but found it comfortable and not noticeably heavy during a 2.5-hour ride. He praises its aerodynamic performance, the effectiveness of the photochromic visor, its sleek design, graphics, paint, and excellent build quality. Cons include the difficult-to-operate vent, a strap system he doesn't find the most comfortable, and the fact the visor cannot be stored flipped up and has no parking spot when removed. He concludes it's a legit, original premium product that delivers on comfort, speed, versatility, and design.

YKYW Women's Pro Team 3/4 BIB Pants 4H Riding MTB Bike Tights Elastic Seamless Cycling Shorts Bicycle Sports Clothing Quick Dry
Bib-ShortHere's a recommendation for body diverse ladies like me,
my recommendation for bibshorts is this Ykywbike:Points I like:
- Pad is comfortable for many hours on the saddle
- High waisted, so it holds the belly
- The leg length is enough to cover the calves, making it a good option to pair with long socks, and avoid the leg UV cover altogether.
- Mesh behind the knees and on the back, to help with heat dissipation
- Leg anti slip is the same quality I have on my other bib from Northwave (EU brand)(If you're also a non-magazine model lady like me, please share your recommendations! <3)
WEST BIKING Aero Cycling Helmet Integrally-Molded KC Certified Unisex Helmet With LED Taillight for Road Bike Electric Scooter
HelmetLast batch of winter stuff:
- West biking helmet : My point of reference is my Lazer Z1. A little warmer which was to be expected as it's got less ventilation, but it puts the lazer to shame in overall build quality (in appearance, I've obviously not crash tested it and have no intention to). Straps are great, ALL the padding is much faster to dry and much smoother, and the adjusting is in another league (perhaps says more about how shit adjusting is on lazer's proprietary dial...). As a bonus I think I look less mushroomy. I'm happy with it

Mini-PumpI also switched back from electronic minipumps to a €4 minipump from AliExpress, which is much faster and easier to use with Clik Valves I recently bought. This let me downsize to a smaller saddlebag (Topeak Elementa XS) and get the total weight down to 264g. Extremely pleased with the weight and compact footprint of the bag.
TanTan Seraph Gr048
FrameLooking at Seraph/tantan gr048 . Thinking about buying the Seraph from this Aliexpress shop: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwmwywK Dont see alot of Gr048 builds here on Chinertown, wondering if it is safe to buy. The lightcarbon one not so conserned about. Also thinking that theproce different not an issue.
I have had mine for a little while now. Sample size of 1, but for me it's been solid and im 100kg+, done sprints on it and it didn't crack in half, which is fair enough for me. Ordered it through Seraph website and picked my own paint, can find my thoughts in the thread about that frame. Note that I specifically picked that frame because it's short and tall, there might be other options.
Nice build. Mind sharing how much you paid for the frameset in total incl. shipping, tax and paint?
was 700 euro about iirc. That also included a bb, tru-axles, headset, and the mount for fenders.
