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

Any suggestions for Fizik Kurve (Snake) type saddle?

What's the forum recommended all-carbon saddle these days?

And a seatpost to match if you'd be so kind.

Can anybody ID the seller of this seatpost on PhilDAS's CAAD plesse?

Apparently a forum favourite.

Someone posted a link to some rapha knock off long sleeve jerseys in here ages ago but I can't find it. Does anyone know what I mean? Or reccomendations for cheap long sleeve jerseys in general would be good.

Spexcel? https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Low-profile-design-2016-classic-full-black-winter-thermal-fleece-Cycling-Jersey-autumn-cycling-Clothing-Road/2219030_32736403342.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.49842b3dVYvSAg

also want. finally going to order one after months of putting it off

these are excellent. been using mine for winter mountain biking. very good build quality

This seems to be the one. Seller is called Yingbo Cao's Store. Reviews are decent too. Can't link it for some reason.

Could be this one but the radius for the offset seems to be a bit smaller.
What I heard is that the seatpost is a pita to adjust because of the front bolt facing the saddle. This one is practically the same design but has a nut instead of a screw which could make it easier.
In the end this seems to be the seat post to go for. At least it is what I ordered last week :)

Indeed it’s a bit of a pain to adjust but you can do it by hand with the rear one completely loose, then when you tighten the rear, it pulls the back of the saddle down and tightens it all up. If you have a saddle with a cut out in the middle then no problems

This is the link

Thanks. I'll take a punt on some seatposts and saddles this week and update on here when they arrive.

It's hard to understand why Aliexpress is popular. It's a baffling, unfriendly website that makes it hard to find anything.

A thousand times.
I've got an ebay china stem coming from ilovebeads (sure it'll be fine...) and it was cheaper and way easier.

Favourite non-setback seatpost? Need 31.6mm

That was it! Cheers.

@swedeee that chain cleaner is fucking awesome! Better than the old park tools one I have .. easier to maintain too.

This question gets asked so often here, we should start a list of forum approved Aliexpress stuff.
To answer your question: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13909329/, 5 posts above yours.

Often the same things on ebay are much cheaper on Aliexpress, also there's a lot more stuff on there. Dhgate is the place to go if you want branded knock off stuff, Aliexpress has got 'better' with taken down listings for fakes.

I'm too stupid to read sometimes, thanks!

It's definitely being policed more rigorously in China. The knock off malls I go to in Shenzhen and Shanghai don't have stuff on display as flagrantly these days. You only have to ask mind.

so good isnt it!

Cheap, 25,4mm risers? Preferably carbon, if those are safe.
