Good kit, helped me enormously routing cables and hydraulic hoses through frame and handlebar. Includes a magnet and several routing cables, as well as a brake hose puller.

Great (light) winter shorts. It's hard to find bib shorts for colder days, that are a little bit padded. I really like those, as I totally don't like long bibs in the winter, as I fell them to be uncomfy and too tight. I rather like "winter" bibs with 1 or 2 layers of tights instead which gives you a better flexibility.

I would use this short between about -3º-12ºC. If colder, then I would need another layer or a shorter (~1h) ride. Also, Decathlon seems to be doing sales of those shorts sometimes, so I think, I got those for about 40-50 EUR.

HQ-67A-L03BK 160PSI, China

Variant

“

• Both valve types work for a minipump on the way
• installable below bottle cages
• The pressure/manometer is a little bit useless, as it does not bring you confidence and is very very coarse. Also, the hand is a little bit loose, so if you install the minipump on your bottle cages, the hand will rattle most of the time. So can recommend BUT take the model without manometer!

• good bag, also works on my smaller frame sizes and does not rub on the back wheel (172cm height)
• water proof, only disadvantage is, there is no valve or so, so you have to press out all the air in order to reduce the bag size.

PF41DUB RED

Variant

• In the beginning after installation, it was spinning great, BUT after only 100-200km it started become rough already
• For this price point, you can already get 2x Shimano BB, but being forced to use SRAM DUB, I tried this one, total failure, which is why I got back to Shimano

I think I made no mistake while installing it, because now with the Shimano BB it works great, also with the previous, cheaper ZTTO it worked also for 1,500km. So I can NOT recommend this one.

• Great design
• Perfect, if you have a topbar bag on a small frame, to difficulties to reach the bottles. This bottle cage allows access from the side.
• On the other hand, if your bottles are not bulky enough, it is possible they might fall out on the side, with my Camelbaks so far no issues.

• Battery is ... okish, like 2h maybe, I usually take 2 with me.
• Has a remote control :D Also has a electric horn built in when using the remote. But the sound is very unfamiliar for local people, so I just use a normal bell instead. (Even got it cheaper, directly from Taiwan)

Simple to use, very cheap but usable. Can also keep a Ice cool for 30min (tested ;D) Only disadvantage at this price point are the straps, which have plastic connectors that might scrub your frame over time. Also cleaning those things is not easy.

Used one for 2k km and replaced it with another one of the same brand. Works, shifting works, good factory lubrication for the first 500km or so. But on the other hand not a lot cheaper than buying a chain directly from a brand (At least the 11)

• Levers work for me (hand size on the shorter end)
• no major issues with installation or handling
• Front derailleur works great IMO - if you get used to the 2 trim positions
• Rear derailleur works also ok, but IMO switching gears takes a little to much power. Also, there are slight switching issues on the small ring (maybe the tension too low). In the end still great value for the price.
• Included chain worked great for 2000km and had good waxing in the beginning
• very fast delivery

• One of the few carbon/aero handlebar that are compatible with a Aerobar.
• Partially internal routing, very fickly, because there is no guide or anything, use some wire
• In combination with aluminum (aerobar mounts or stem) it seems to be you need quite a bit of torque, otherwise all the stuff will rotate accidentally sooner or later.

55mm depth 28mm, Clincher Tubeless, Black Decal, RD07 Center lock

Variant

“

Great wheels, Even after couple thousand kilometres (2500km) they are still quite true and no issues so far!

Installation:

Tubeless rim take was applied twice (as suggested by them) and it's keeping the fluid inside so far. center lock disc brakes had no issues. Make sure, to also order long valves or valve extensions. But of course, there is not much benefit in deep wheels, maybe 0,5km/h faster, tops 1 km/h in good conditions (Side wind). I would opt for a smaller rim next time, so I can swap the inner tube in emergency situations better and don't have to deal with long valves. Hubs: Hub spins good, but like other commenters found out, the noise is not really pleasant. If you can, try to opt for a better quality Hub (DT Swiss etc.) instead, which ELITE also can build the wheel with.

Works as a brake, comparable to a rim brake at the most though. Still, having a disc brake is still advantageous: - no rim wear, - better brake performance in the wet - easier to install than hydraulic - With the included disc I have the problem, that the brake does not center itself perfectly every time, so I sometimes have to tap the brake to recenter. Could also be the brake pads (Switched to Shimano metal)

• very light, stiff
• the included Bottom bracked worked for about 2,000 km after it got rough and replaced (See last point)
• optic is a little mixed, but pictures show it: Might be not great for a road bike, but looks more "rugged" so great fit for Gravel, CX, MTB etc.
• Did it job, but I regret the SRAM DUB standard a little, so I switched back to Shimano's because it is so much harder to get (good) Bottom brackets for SRAM's.

• mount is ok
• Battery was NOT included and must be ordered seperately
• Cone is not useful for city or traffic, as there is no cutoff and you will blind upcoming people
• if you ride over rough terrain the battery or light will flicker. In the end, a good extra light for the dark forest nights, and price was very ok.
