Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

Anyone seen the OEM of the Selcof Gravel fork on Ali or t'Bay?

Yep, I've got a "Gub" one. Seems to work but then it only really has one function and it's not tried to stab me in the bottom yet. 10/10.

Thanks, the "Gub" ones seem better quality than the one I listed so I'll give them a go. I was just worried about it cracking if made from cheap materials.

I decided to see if the company who made my frame also make handlebars. Good news! They do:

SOBATO-SHA-HANDLEBAR
The carbon fiber material, breaking wind, UD carbon cloth + extinction / gold shiny surface, bending the road bike broken wind

Has anyone had any luck with socks from Aliexpress?

Dont bother

I've just ordered these:
http://s.aliexpress.com/VbUFrYvE

Mainly because my fake POCs don't quite fit right with my new kask helmet. I'll let you know if they're any good.

Check the brake hole drilling. The cheap carbon forks I bought (ages ago admittedly) were drilled a bit wonky so the brake didn't mount flat against the fork. Still worked but not ideal.

I bought some carbon aero handlebars but it turns out the internal routing is just for Di2. It's a shame because they feel solid. Anyone want them for £20? They're these, 42cm wide, matt black with EC90 logo

Good tip, thanks mate.

Seatpost arrived. Really pleased with the quality and weight though I've yet to ride it.

Link to item? Looks good.

Posting from my phone, gimme a sec

Let us know if you impale yourself.

Yep, I've got those that @swedeee linked and I think they're nice. Actually, I have ordered another pair in pink a while back.

is it actually even carbon?

Seems like just the "head" has a machined alloy ring wrapped in carbon. Since it has a wedge type clamp that pushes outwards in that circle, I'm quite glad it is. The rest of the post is full carbon. I don't have scales but its very light.

Riding it home from work now. If you don't hear back, its killed me in the bum.

Looks the same as the one I've got and have ridden a few hundred miles on. I'm a fatty and it's not stabbed me in the bum yet. I'll keep you posted, as it were.

Well there was no slipping, it was a bit comfier than the previous alloy post and it did its job very well. The mechanism is easily the most simple to use and easy to adjust the angle of any post I've ever used.
10/10 so far
