Looking around there are so many non-brands now, recycling all the AliEx kit.
I’m amazed the Mindless branded bits were reduced cheaper than an ebay special.
My money’s on a lot of the gummy sub-80a ebay wheels being identical on a cruiser to the branded ones. I can’t see a lazy rider like me noticing that much at the speeds I will ride now.
Maybe back in the mid 00’s I could have felt the difference in rolling resistance but even these awful 55 suckas with “Abec7” actually roll a few feet.
