Reviews & Ratings
Was my cheap, Chinese, Carbon Fibre bike from AliExpress worth it?
The reviewer discusses the TOSEEK Full Carbon Fibre Bicycle Road Handlebar Integrated UD Matte/Gloss Bike Handlebar stem 90/100/110/120mm Cycling Bent Bar as part of their bike build. They mention purchasing it for 46 pounds and highlight its integrated stem with internal cable routing channels. The reviewer chose the 400mm wide bars with a 100mm long stem, based on personal comfort preferences. They note significant challenges with cable routing due to small holes in the bars, which required filing to accommodate thicker compressionless housings. The reviewer also mentions that the internal cable routing caused excessive bends in the cable housings, leading to shifting and braking issues, and describes the installation process as a 'nightmare' they wouldn't want to repeat.
