AliExpress is full of junk, but I dug through the mess and found nine cycling parts that are actually worth it—all under $40. From $2 hidden gems to knockoffs that rival $300 components, these upgrades deliver surprising performance on a budget. This video shows you which cheap bike parts are worth your money (and which ones to avoid)

RIDERACE Bicycle Handlebar End Plugs Aluminum Alloy For MTB Mountain Bike Road Cycling Handle Bar Grips Cap Multi-color Cover

RIDERACE Bicycle Handlebar End Plugs Aluminum Alloy For MTB Mountain Bike Road Cycling Handle Bar Grips Cap Multi-color Cover

Creado: 24 de agosto de 2025

The reviewer discusses alloy bolt-in bar end plugs as a general product category, but does not specifically mention the 'RIDERACE Bicycle Handlebar End Plugs Aluminum Alloy For MTB Mountain Bike Road Cycling Handle Bar Grips Cap Multi-color Cover' by name. They state that plastic bar end plugs pop out, get lost, and look cheap, while alloy non-branded bolt-in bar end plugs make a bike look finished. They mention that most brand-name alloy bolt-in bar ends cost around $20-$30 per set, but the ones they found cost $7 for a set. They also mention ordering extra pairs for future bikes.

Resumen IA

Pros

  • Make your rig look finished
  • Bolt-in design prevents them from popping out or getting lost
  • Much cheaper than brand-name versions ($7 vs $20-$30)

Cons

  • Not specifically mentioned - only generic alloy bar end plugs are discussed

Key Points

  • Alloy construction
  • Bolt-in design
  • Non-branded

GOLDIX 3D Printed Carbon Bicycle Saddle Ultralight Honeycomb Structure Breathable Shockproof for MTB Road Racing

Creado: 24 de agosto de 2025

The reviewer discusses a 3D printed saddle purchased from AliExpress as a budget alternative to brand name versions. They mention having ridden one for the last 2 years and purchasing another one, which they see as a strong testimonial. They state that these saddles are weatherproof, just as comfortable as the premium versions, and note the irony that the 'fake one' is lighter in weight than the 'real one'. They encourage viewers who have purchased one based on a past video to share their experiences in the comments.

Resumen IA

Pros

  • Weatherproof
  • Just as comfortable as premium saddles
  • Lighter weight than the real/brand name version (in their specific comparison)
  • Saves nearly $300 compared to brand name versions

Key Points

  • 3D printed
  • Purchased for $45 (current price mentioned, down from $65 a couple years prior)
  • Ridden by the reviewer for 2 years

Creado: 2 de febrero de 2025

The reviewer discusses TPU tubes from AliExpress in general, not the specific RideNow TPU Bike Inner Tube model. They state that TPU tubes are the lightest, strongest, and most packable insurance policy for flats, even with tubeless setups. They found a deal for two tubes, tire levers, and a patch kit for $12, which is significantly cheaper than brand-name alternatives like Pirelli.

  • Strongest
  • Most packable insurance policy for flats
  • Significantly cheaper than brand-name alternatives (e.g., Pirelli)
  • Comes in a kit with two tubes, tire levers, and a patch kit
