AliExpress has a bit of a reputation for cheap rubbish, but it does have some fantastic cycle kit, and if you know where to look, some awesome cycle gadgets. I've been buying virtually all my bike parts from it since around 2018, and must have bought 1000’s of things related to road bikes and cycling over the years.
Not everything I've bought has been great but there are definitely some hidden gems, so in this episode I’ll cover 5 of those. A tiny CO2 pump, a heart rate monitor from Magene, a lightweight 3D printed carbon saddle, a great value bike light, and some colourful aluminium bottle cage screws.
