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

I've ordered forks from them and replies are normally pretty prompt. They're a manufacturer so should have the parts knocking around. Might have to pay for shipping though. Hope they get back to you soon.

cheers dude.

Anybody took a flyer on the Newboler bikepacking bags? price is tempting

I have a small framebag from them, material is a bit cheap but it seems put together well enough. haven't had any issues with it yet (only used for ~250km though)

got mine set up over the weekend, using a butchered cateye fork mount as for some reason I've made it my goal to declutter handlebars at the expense of everything else. footage on my mobius is a tiny bit jellied but plenty adequate for me.

Anyone fancy a punt on some speedplay copies? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROAD-BIKE-AND-MTB-BICYCLE-PEDAL-One-Air-Pedal-Specifications-One-Air-Titanium-Titanium-Track/32848539223.html

Has anyone bought Zuus wheels? Terrible name and logos, but can be ordered without. Generic Chinese stuff I suppose, but currently £480 for 50mm clinchers delivered from Cumbria.

interesting, clearance stuff is mad cheap http://www.zuus.co.uk/clearance-wheels/

Don't suppose anyone has a spare insert from some Chinese radar paths they don't use? Somehow mine has snapped, annoying as I paid for lenses for it a couple of months ago.

AliExpress anniversary sale starts in 20hrs. Not massive discounts but a bit off almost everything. If you're going to buy something from there soon anyway tomorrow is probably a good day to do so.

Not that I'm encouraging mindless consumerism of course.

Anyone keen on some FarSports wheels? There's a 10% discount and I'm going to put an order through this week so we could share shipping/customs.

Could be interested in some Rims.

Although site isn't loading....

Fake SRAM

Interesting. Assuming the pull ratios are all the same as real SRAM (Exact Actuation) this could be a super cheap 10→11 speed upgrade - you just need shifters (well, only a rear shifter technically), a cassette and a chain. Real 11-speed SRAM shifters are still pretty expensive.

Edit: depending on whether or not and how cheap they sell just the shifters for

Yes - I am keen

Just browsed through carbon MTB frames on AliExpress...

All tapered steerer, 135x9mm or 142x12mm but curiously all 27.2mm seatpost. I'd have expected 31.6mm to be the default for carbon frames.

My Hong Fu 29er has a 31.6mm seat post. Tapered steerer and 135x9mm QR rear.

I bet you can find the genuine one in clearance instead

I've got a set of the FOakleys I've hardly used if anyone wants them for a tenner? Come with 2 or 3 additional lenses.

Would you post? And any chance of a picture?

Yeah no sweat.

Saddle selection on aliexpress is vastly improved since I last checked.

Copies san Marco saddles for £20 in the sale, Fizik copies, Selle slr superflow raw carbons... last time I checked it was speshy toupe raw carbons only pretty much.

Bought this Spexcel Roubaix windproof jersey (size large) if anyone wants it? It’s actaully pretty nice but it’s slightly too small so I’ll be ordering an xl. £20 posted. Cheers
