OutilsIf you want a reliable and affordable torque wrench, I recommend this one; otherwise, this digital one has been on my wish list for a while at least it lets you be more precise with your adjustments. A little tip I'd like to share, when you use it always make sure to extend the internal spring of the wrench (setting it to zero) so it isn't constantly under tension, which will help it last longer.

Herren Radanzug Sommer Kurzarm BCBE-ING
Combinaisons & EnsemblesJust received this skin suit. The quality is simply outstanding. Even the chamois is sawn in the way Assos to theirs with the middle part left not attached, and is of GREAT quality. The fabric is very airy and stretchy. The sizing is also nearly spot on, but as I expected the top is not as skin tight as I would like because you cant specify different sizing for the top and bottom. So I went with XL for my 188cm and 78kg frame. I typically ger EU (L) for bottom and EU (M) for top for tall the Asian makers. This gets me all tight without being restrictive. Here, the top could have been a size smaller. If I went with Large, then the legs would have been an issue. Other than that, extremely happy with this and might take this to a seamstress for minor adjustments. Bonus......... ZERO dumb slogans.

Elitaone SL8 Road Handlebar/Bent Bar Carbon Integrated Handlebar Stem Titanium Sscrews Bolts with Fixed Computer Holder
CintreI've had this bar for more than a year on my gravelbike. Worked great! The only problem i had was a broken garmin mount. So i would advise to get a aluminium one instead of the plastic one that's included!

BCBE-ING New Men Cycling Bib Shorts High Quality Elastic Interface 200kg/m³ Density Pad Lightweight Quick Dry Cycling Bib Shorts
CuissardI can confirm the quality of BCBE. I’ve been using these for a few months now. And especially now with the hot weather, they’re proving to be really good. The padding is comfortable for the usual long rides of 4+ hours, the leg length is good too, and the straps are wide and very comfortable. You don’t feel them pulling in awkward places like with other bibs. And no weird logos or writing

KEMALOCE Men Cycling Bib Shorts Solid Blue&Black 5D Gel Pad Mountain Bike Shorts High End Outdoor Breathable Bike Tight Knicker
CuissardA while ago I asked about buying the above bibs. I received them a while ago, and did some rides with them, here are my impressions: - the material is not very stretchy, especially the upper part. - the rubber part seems tight and keeps the bibs in place on my legs well. - the padding is excellent and fairly comfortable even on a few 4+ hour rides. - the pockets are nice to have, but I don't really see myself using them. Feels like a gimmick to me. Regarding the first issue, I have to mention I went with size M, and I am 184cm tall and weigh 69kg. I didn't want to size up like I usually do with AliExpress stuff, because I had bad experience with oversized bibs before, but these bibs are really tight on my legs. If I would had gone with size L, it would have been much better, and I probably wouldn't notice the degree to which the material is not stretchy. I also have a similar style BCBE bibs, but they are too large -- however, they feel like they are made from a higher-quality material, especially the straps.

YKYWBIKE 2026 Unisex Sport Socks Micro-reflective Bicycle Road Bike Running Cycling Socks Breathable Moisture-absorbing Socks
ChaussettesBought a handful from Aliexpress recently and these are feet down the best socks I have ever worn. Amazing! Quality is superb. Feeling like walking on silk clouds. Stylish, slim and perfect ankle height. The peeps on the block mistook me for Van Der Poel with these socks, they really are that good.

Cheji Men's Bib Shorts Quick-Drying Breathable Seamless Craft with Belgian Foam Pad for Comfortable Cycling Experience
CuissardI bought this recently and it arrived yesterday. I'm a big fan of Cheji bibs with their red pad (I currently have five pairs in rotation), but this one was a no-go for me, so I returned it for a full refund. The good: Great quality for the price. The straps are comfortable, and the leg grippers are well done. The red pad works really well for me. I can comfortably ride for 3–4 hours, and probably longer, while still feeling well supported. The bad: The 'seamless' style of bibs just doesn't seem to work for me. I had another AliExpress-branded seamless bib before and didn't like that one either. When worn, it feels like I'm stuffed into a hot dog casing. Another issue I have with seamless construction is that the fabric doesn't seem as breathable as traditional bibs. They also seem to have messed up the sizing on this model. I've always ordered a Large from Cheji and the fit has been perfect. On this particular model, the leg length was noticeably longer than usual—it practically reached my kneecaps, LOL. Overall, the quality is there, but the fit and seamless construction made it a dealbreaker for me.

ZTTO SLR Gen3 12s Road Bike Cassette Super Light Weight 116g 11-28T 11-30 11-32 11-34 11-36 146g K7 12s Spokets HGR universal
CassetteConversely, my 11-34 ztto SLR gen 3 is going on 5,500km now, and still working perfectly. I cycle three waxed (MSW) Shimano xtr/dura-ace (or whatever they're called) chains. Only downside was that the cassette was always a bit noisy, and 1200km ago it got REALLY noisy... ...but, I took it off it bike and applied a single drop of Finish Line wet lube (the one with the green lid) to each of the rivets. Left it somewhere warm to help gravity wick it in. Instantly silenced it. 1200km later and it's still quieter than it was on day one. I'm 76kg, FTP 320, use the full spread on every ride, and love smashing short hard efforts. I'm quite good at not cross-chaining too much (but far from perfect), and pretty good at not shifting under full load, but it's certainly not had an easy life under me. Frankly, I love it, money well spent for the weight saving.

KOOZER CX1800 700c Felge mit Scheibenbremse 28L
RouesThe wheelset I got initially are these Koozer CX1800 alloy wheels which are very cheap but also somewhat heavy. Apart from that, they have been very good, even spoke and haven't gone out of centre even though I hit a few potholes rather hard...

Chaser New 6-ULTRA G2 Ultralight Center Lock Disc Brake Discs Road Bike Gravel Disc Brake Disc 160/140mm Without Locking Cover
Disques de freinI have a thousand mi or so on them, the cheap ones that are 25 bucks or so. No issues compared to stock Campy rotors (I'm running Wheeltop Tx with Campy calipers). My setup is centerlock, but I'm using 3rd party adaptors as they're lighter than the built in centerlock options. No improvement either, other than they weigh about the same as the lighter Campy rotors for much less $$ and have some bling factor. The main difference between these and the lighter units (ie Carbon Ti, chaser) is that the "floating" buttons on the cheap ones are ss whereas the expensive ones use ti. So there's a few grams in weight difference.

RYET Aircode
SelleRegarding longevity, I have a Ryet Ultimate with 3D printed padding in use since end of 2024. It has about 8000 km of mileage. It's holding up well so far, it also survived a minor crash. I have the EVA padded Ultimate on another bike since last year with 2000 km or so of mileage. It's holding up well, too. So personally I can't complain!

SENICX PR2 Road bike 2 x 10 /11/12 Speed Crank 165mm/170mm / 175mm for Road Folding Bike
PédalierI have these cranks in 165mm. Steel axle and reasonable, symmetric Q factor. So far so good.

RYET T01
SelleI got this one because it is small (128mm), optics are quite good. Weight is 80g and it is padded. Because some other saddle maybe tend to kill your bib sooner or later. I payed 70$, maybe in a other shop it is cheaper. This was just the link from my order ago. So far no problems after 6 months

RYET PREMIUM
SelleI've currently got this one which I paid £35 for and been riding for the last 12 months, with rides up to 6hrs non-stop. Weighed in at 113g. I like it, my bum seems used to it.

CuissardÜbrigens mal kurzes Feedback zu dem Thema: Bekleidung von Aliexpress. Da sich das hier ja zum allgemeinen Aliexpress Thread gemausert hat. Ich bin seit langem mal wieder meine Rapha Core bib gefahren und direkt nach 25 Minuten Schmerzen. Also die Bibs aus China mit dem Elastic Interface Polster sind einfach echt gut für den Preis. Hab mir jetzt ne 2. bestellt und sortiert alle anderen, alten Bibs aus
