It's been a while since I shared reviews, so here's a fresh batch covering all the fun knockoff stuff I've bought and tested:

Paul Components "Klamper" Brakes
URL: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806567943125.html
Review: 8/10
Details: I got these back in December and have been riding them for six months now. I am completely satisfied with them. They are paired with SRAM rotors and SRAM Rival levers, with the Kool Stop pads ordered from Paul Comp. From day one, I've gotten excellent braking and modulation from them. Before them, i was running hydro-mechanical disc brakes, and these have a smoother action. Adjustments have been simple, and overall "set it and forget it". One thing I did notice is that the parts specs are slightly different than real Paul Components Klampers. I ordered orange anodized adjusters from Paul, and when they arrived, they would not mount onto these knockoffs. Overall, I would recommend these without hesitation, and at currently $70 a set on Ali, I'd consider them a good value for the money.

Paul Components "Gino" light mount
URL: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805193813992.html
Review: 10/10
Details: It's just a piece of machined aluminum, so pretty hard to F this up. They come in a copy of a Paul Components box, and do what they're supposed to do.

Here's a new build with a mulet with the new SRAM Red shfiters/brakes - GX Transmission derailleur - X0 Transmission cassette and chain
And the Lexon gravel bar which is very nice and stiff

To have a better chainline (49mm instead of the road limited to 47.5mm) I did put a non boost MTB crankset.
So there was no more rubbing of the chain.

The setup app is limited to 38T, so with this 44T I did add 6 links(inner+outer) to the 118 advised.
But had to remove one after testing.

From two other builds, for better shifting, the setup key had to be set on B even if the app was saying A.
But not on this one. So the setup app is not really accurate for mullet builds.

Edit: I forgot the wheels, these are the WR40 from lightbicycle with their carbon aero spokes + ceramic hub v2.0

I've been testing this one

(The normal padded one)

For a few weeks now and it's been super comfy in a very aggressive racing position. Actually surprising how comfy it is for how little padding there is compared to my old fizik saddle. The rails feel solid and everything. It's not the most lightweight at around 150g but it feels much better than those extremely lightweight ones at 100g-ish.

I bought these IIIPRO Bike Brake Disc rotors, the rotors do not brake as they should, I bedin them for two weeks, cleaned them, pumped the brakes, changed the pads (sram code rsc) and nothing helps, the rotors brake very poorly by their own, after these I installed TRP and Shimano rt66 rotors and they brake well

As an alternative with a 5€ ali express aluminum top cap bolt, for 7g total.

Received my Onirii One XL (56 cm equivalent) frame. It weighed 685 grams minus front derailleur hanger and bolts for water bottles. Fork was 382 grams. I would post scale pictures however I guess since I am very new to posting I don't have that option yet. Interior finish seems well done. I'll be waiting ( rather impatiently) for my Avian Canary 400X130 integrated handlebars to be made in delivered for the build out. Hopefully pictures to follow

I've had the RYET Air Code with the carbon base for 8 months now, for me it's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. I love it. after 8 months it is a bit dusty inside the holes, I need to give it a spray or something.

Just took my Elita one saddle out for a 20 mile gravel ride and it’s the most comfy saddle I’ve ever used! I know saddles are a very individual thing, but this one fit me just right.

Paul "Tall & Handsome" Seatpost:
URL: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805827826075.html
Review: 8/10
Details: Very happy with this item. Would give it a 10/10 but I don't have a real Paul Comp seat post to compare it to, so I have to assume it could have small differences. Installation was easy (no different than any other seat post) and does what it's expected to do.

Thomson Elite 27.2 Seatpost:

Review: 8/10
Details: I haven't installed it yet, but I've owned genuine Thomson seat posts in the past and this one looks identical to them. It didn't come with a Thomson bag, which is why I've knocked some points off. Otherwise, though, this looks to be a solid replica with no issues.

100 PSI RRSkit portable electric pump for $25 USD. I stopped carrying a regular pump and just put this in my back jersey pocket now:

I have 3 versions of this light;

I use the 2400 lumen, 4000mah 3 LED version on my gravel bike. Its worked great for 6+ months. Doesn't last long enough for running 3-4 hours but I only use it to light up the night for a couple hours at a time and use tiny but silly bright drone blinky lights for my "being seen" marker lights. It lights up enough for road and gravel rides in pitch black for sure.

I've been using the 5200 lumen, 8000mah 5 LED light on my mountain bike for 6-8 months as well. I do night rides about once a month on it and its lasted 2-3 hours on high. It is crazy bright and I have yet to encounter someone with more light on their bike for under $150. It makes the 1000 lumen headlamp I use pointless in all but the most vertical or fastest places where you can utilize the head lamp pointed high too see around turns/hills.

I just received the 6000 lumen, 10,000mah 16 LED light. I haven't compared it anywhere except the garage, hoping to get out early this coming weekend and compare it on the trail with my buddies who also has the 5200 Lumen.

I've used the supplied powerbank feature on all of them just in testing to see if they'll charge my phone or my computer and they do. But, I don't see myself needing such a feature very often.

Got mine here. They have 140+160 MT800 and MT900 too. Very fast shipping to me in US.
