I have enough now to add my two cents.

Fall/Winter

This vest is SWEET. I have a couple of RION newer design jerseys and I love them. This vest is excellent at blocking wind I wish they made a jacket with the same design.

These have been quite good socks, I just keep buying the colors they add.

My first pair of actual SPD-SL road shoes. Absolutely love these things and the carbon sole is great.

I have enough now to add my two cents.

Spring/Summer

Favorite bibs I have from Ali. fit is true to size and they have been great for long rides.

Fall/Winter

These are awesome. I have worn these down to low 40F and they do great! Better at wind blocking than my CLD RDY Adidas bibs I have. Read the size chart because these are asian fit.

I have the Ryet Aircode 3D printed saddle, full carbone one, and I kind of like it. I would like to try some 155 mm wide 3D printed saddle. Any advices?

This Lightpro chain ring has been on my commuter for about three years now. It's seen two replacement chains and shows no sign of wear so far. Solid.

So here's my followup on the Thinkrider X2 i ordered for my brother. The price was 277,69€ using a choice day coupon. Shipping took only four days from Madrid to my address in germany. The parcel wasn't damaged or anything and the trainer was well packaged. I was actually surprised by the fact that there was an english manual. All the necessary adapters for through axle or quick release are included. The only thing that seems a little cheap is the power supply. If i compare it's weight to the one of my kickr core i can't imagine it will be the same quality. So if i had to guess one thing that will fail on this thing it's the power supply but that should be replaceable fairly easy. Apart from that the build quality looks and feels solid. The base is attached by four screws and seems solid. I calibrated the trainer using the Thinkrider app which worked like on the kickr. I did two rides on the trainer, one relaxed zone 2 ride in erg mode and one ride up alpe du zwift (on 50% trainer difficulty). The only real difference i noticed between the x2 and my kickr core is that the x2 leans slightly more to left and right, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion. ERG mode was really smooth and the resistance adjustments were fast. Resistance up alpe du zwift also seemed realistic. This is absolutely not an in depth review, i just did some test rides before my brother picked it up. But so far it really felt like a great alternative to the kickr. With the right deals you can get it for half the price of the kickr which is insane. The only questions are longevity and warranty if something fails, only time will give answers to these. Apart from these two questions it's a great cheaper alternative to the kickr core. I kinda regret not going for the x2 myself and saving 230€. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If my brother faces any issues with the device i will let you know here.

Hey mate, I have a Riro at the 50/34 chainring. Has around 500km on it so far, so I cant comment on longevity. No issues installing, I do have a T47-79BB.

Bike carry case + reasonable price, fits larger frames without the need to remove the rear wheel - does not cover the bottom, therefore the shoulder strap has to be connected to the top tube making the whole setup unwieldy

Useful bell + small but noisy, can be placed on/in the hoods - has to be torqued from time to time

Decent Garmin/GoPro mount + cheap, aluminum - strange L form instead of a streamlined direct I form (there are those variants for 3-4x, had noticed them too late), bolts provided are not stainless

Best value ever for lights + dual color (red/white) lights, incredibly cheap, versatile, tough, easily replaceable when "long-term borrowed" - micro usb, the bracket favors broader seatposts

Decent handlebar bag + sturdy, survived 1200+km tour holding wet tent and sometimes saving the content from the rain, reasonable price - bit flimsy to set up (has a tendency to lean on the side with more weight on)

I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I’ve been using it for around 6.000km now and it’s been holding up just fine. I’m also using the SROAD version in 11-32 12sp for almost 10k km. No problems. The rainbow finish hasn’t even worn off. I’m waxing my chain and stay on top of chain wear. I’m very pleasantly surprised.
