  • Super comfortable straps that don't dig into shoulders

Unknown Seatpost

Created: March 19, 2026

The reviewer states that the HY seat posts are a genuine problem solver, particularly for finding proprietary or zero-offset posts for older or niche frames. They are praised for being incredibly light and available in a wide catalog of shapes.

AI-Summary

Pros

  • Incredibly light (under 120g for the one used)
  • Available in a huge catalog of proprietary seat post shapes
  • Offers zero or 15mm offset options
  • Solves fit problems on older frames where stock parts are unavailable
  • Available in extra-long lengths for tall riders

Cons

  • Rather expensive (just north of £100 each)
  • Expensive for a seat post

Key Points

  • Used on a sub-5kg BMC hill climb build for weight savings
  • Saves 50-60g compared to the stock BMC carbon post
  • Found a zero-offset version for a 2014 BMC with a non-round post
  • Also used to solve saddle height issues on a Trek Domane by using an extra-long post

SPEDAO 12 Speed MTB Cassette 10-52T 10-50T 11-50T XD HG Freewheel Lightweight CNC K7 Sprocket Drivetrain Upgrade Bike Parts

SPEDAO 12 Speed MTB Cassette 10-52T 10-50T 11-50T XD HG Freewheel Lightweight CNC K7 Sprocket Drivetrain Upgrade Bike Parts

Created: March 19, 2026

The reviewer states they have been using the SPEDAO 12-speed gravel/MTB cassette (12-50T, XD) for around six months with absolutely no issues. They praise its performance, weight, and value.

AI-Summary

Pros

  • Has had absolutely no issue with it over six months of use.
  • Shifting quality is spot-on and has not been an issue.
  • Much cheaper than comparable SRAM cassettes (about 50-60 quid vs. £140 for GX or £300 for X01).
  • Lighter than SRAM GX cassettes.
  • The large aluminum 50T ring holds up well because the load is distributed over a large area.
  • Shifting quality was indistinguishable when swapping from a SRAM XG-1275 GX Eagle cassette.

Cons

  • The reviewer was initially skeptical due to past mixed experiences with AliExpress cassettes.
  • The nice rainbow coating is starting to wear off after use (though tooth profiles remain good).

Key Points

  • Model used is a 12-50T cassette for an XD driver hub.
  • Designed to be run with a mountain bike rear derailleur (mullet setup on a gravel bike).
  • Features an aluminum 50-tooth largest cog, with the rest being steel.
  • Weighs less than a SRAM GX cassette.

Created: March 19, 2026

  • Super quick and easy to attach/detach phone
  • Allows phone rotation between portrait and landscape
  • Does not require defacing the phone case with a stick-on mount

  • Quarter-turn attachment into a Garmin mount
  • Works with iPhone MagSafe; should work with Android phones using G2-style magnetic wireless chargers (but user should check specs)
  • Includes stick-on magnets for non-MagSafe phones
  • Uses a standard GoPro-style 2/3-prong mount for angle/length adjustment
