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

I got some rockbros garmin out-front mounts. Seem fine, computer locks into place nicely. Riding tonight so will report back with any failures

Chinese carbon wheels with alu braking surface (either direct or someone in the uk reselling) 40mm ish deep rim - where am I looking ?

Any links for a full carbon road fork (1 1/8” non-taper) with mudguard eyelets?

I'm also looking for a set of these. The Kinesis Tracer 1.5 is the closest I've found but would prefer all black and a bit cheaper

Yep, that's the only fork I could find too. Maybe I should upgrade from my Ribble 7005 to a Kinesis T3...

Enve copy turned up with no branding as requested. 173g doesn't seem too terrible. No import tax either which is nice.

Definitely need a shorter fixing though, this one protrudes a lot just as warned by @mdcc_tester

Bought a Gaciron V9C-800 front light...was happy with it till a ride in the rain saw it stop working. Waterproofing isn't the greatest

I bought two last winter. Mine died from the rain. Not instantly mind but it only lasted a few weeks. My girlfriends is still going strong though and she cycles every day too so I think they’re just hit and miss.
I’ve bought the 1000 lumen bike hut light from Halfords now. Haven’t used it yet but it’s very well built. Huge though

What diameter is that?

27.2

I could never get mine to stay in the designated angle. Cleaned, used carbon paste, still no dice.

I think a lot of issues with cylindrical friction inclination adjusters like these are down to where your gravity load passes relative to the cylinder axis. The more off axis you are (e.g. sitting on the nose of the saddle, with the saddle pushed forward in the clamp), the more friction the clamp needs to generate to resist the resulting torque.

Anyone seen any smp copies anywhere? Ideally with a little padding. Am trawling atm, no beans

I think there are either full carbon and the generous padding version on ali

Send hopes and prayers.

Anyone knows where I can get/make (vinyl?) stickers for my chinese rims?

stickers for my chinese rims?

What sort of stickers? Established wheel brand names are all available easily enough as either genuine or knock-off. JFGI if you want custom printed, laser-cut, drag-knife cut etc.

FWIW, you can get 12 of this template (30mm high × 30°) printed with whatever you like on reflective vinyl for about £23 from https://www.stickersinternational.co.uk/

To be honest I habe no idea, whatever is suitable for rims. I want the thin kind of sticker/decal that most carbon rims usually have on...

That might do it! I will take a look thanks

Does anyone know where I might get some Oakley Radar EV Frames? Every search I'm doing is throwing up lens' only...

This one? The trick is just typing in "cycling sunglasses" and going by the images. They never use the proper name because then they're taken down instantly.

I think all the possible marking technologies have been used from time to time. Self adhesive printed vinyl is popular because it's very cheap.

Ta, btw I am struggling to find the 30degree option on stickersinternational, I’m getting hold...

You actually have to do some work; create your art in whatever vector program you like after reading their guidance on cut lines and bleed areas. Obviously their online tool is highly simplified, but if you give them the right instructions they should be able to do wheel stickers as easily as anything else. The site is being a bit cranky at the moment, but you can email artwork to them.

I wish I could find another lightly padded one, it's for the cross bike
