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

I have the same thing with offers it serves me sometimes - I usually find searching the product name exactly gets me to one I can order.

I went for it. Let's see what it looks like in a bit!

You linked the aero model which is really nice. I had one on my previous bike. If there are similar available from Far East I would love to see them.

Tempted by affordable luxury at Temu. An invisible bell for £1.18. Free shipping, free credit. 39p down.

Here you go.

There's one on the Wiggle (RIP) eBay store...

I got one from there!

Just seen David Beckham advertising Aliexpress on TV. Surreal.

Does this mean my suspect carbon forks are legit after all?

Anyone moving on a LB set of wheels or rims, ideally AR or WR?

No, but the WR40 really are excellent wheels on the Crux with some 45c tyres. Do it!

I’ve already got WR38 need moaaarrzz

I’d like to swap my matt WR45 rims out
for a gloss set for my new frame but I’d need to get new ones first and rebuilt etc. More importantly tho I need to stop obsessing.

WR38

Lucky your paint is better otherwise I'd be stressing over the missing 2.

I mean only half of yours is 40 anyway right? ;-)

i don't think so, i am no WW

New batches of Ciamillo lookalike brakes occasionally appear on Alix. The recent ones seem to be the same as the L8 Ultra. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006876108592.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.28331802Aep4E2 They are stiffer than the Lekkis according to a buyer at WW. And they have no cam. And are claimed to fit slightly wider tyres. At £55 I was tempted to order some. Will compare them with my Alix Lekkis. Am hoping they'll arrive in a few days. But for all i know they might be random junk.

Drop me a DM, have pics and price?

Any suggestions for AliExpress electric pump?

electric

The two words that strike fear into the heart of fire brigades

Which kind? The little one for on-the-road or a bigger at-home type?

If the latter I've got this one and I haven't died a fiery death yet:

For on-the-road I've had this link saved for a while, seem legit but I don't know what the difference is between the A2 & A3 aside from aesthetics:

My fake TT wheel has arrived and received a tyre. Thankfully it appears to be completely true. Will be doing some DIY outdoor testing once my broken hand heals to see how it stacks up against both a legit one and some similar options.

I've just used the one I linked to a few weeks ago, above, for an ultra.

It was great, would definitely recommend. Needed to use it a couple of times. So much better than having to actually pump manually, especially when tired, etc.

Edit
This one:
