AliExpress has a bit of a reputation for cheap rubbish, but I've been buying virtually all my bike parts from it since around 2018. I must have bought 1000’s of things related to road bikes and cycling over the years, and while some of them have been pretty awful (and in some cases quite dangerous), there are a lot of hidden gems too.
In this episode I'll cover 5 of those, and you can find my affiliate links to everything talked about below.

@CarlForde Год назад

I've been riding RideNow TPU tube since Sept last year. Advantages: *much* lighter than butyl tubes, spares take up *much* less space, better ride feel, lower rolling resistance, high contrast colour makes it easy to see if a tube is being pinched. Disadvantages: harder to patch (tiny holes are difficult to see), have to be careful not to over inflate when not in a tire. Some find them more difficult to handle, I find they're just different than butyl and need to handled accordingly. Not more difficult, just different. For me, they're a winner.

@mellis4726 Год назад

I successfully patched one today using the RideNow kit. It's a bit trickier than patching butyl though. Being less bulky, they're easier to insert in the tire, but you have to be very careful not to punch them. Has anyone inflated one with CO2? I'd be concerned about freeze/rupture. They make such great compact spares that I'm eventually going to try using an inflator myself.

@CarlForde Год назад

@@mellis4726 I had trouble patching according to the package directions. I've patched a couple of holes by applying glue around the hole letting it dry for a few seconds then placing the patch on, then putting wood block on it and leaving it for a couple of hours. At home I use a floor pump. When I get a flat on the road I use co2 inflater and inflate in stages to keep the valve and tube from freezing. Works for me.

Got the IGS630 and I love how easy it is to set up your main screen display by playing with the app. This features makes my old Garmin 530 look primitive in comparison, plus it connects to GPS way quicker and the buttons on this one wouldn't drop off like what happened to the 530. Given that the 540 etc is almost double the price of this, getting the IGS630 is a no-brainer.

@nex_randomness6493 Год назад

Interesting finds as always. Though since I often right through the night in mixed lighting conditions I find that my Magicshine RN3000 does it really well for me. At 700 lumens, the second level setting I've never run out of battery while out riding. It has a promised runtime of about 11 hours at that mode after all. It has the capability to charge your devices on the go as well in case of an emergency, caveat is though, you need a type c to whatever your device is kind of cable to use it. I had to get a type c to USB-A cable to accommodate all my charging needs. If you don't mind the clutter you can charge it while your phone is on the bike i.g. a quadlock mount for example and literally charge it on the go. For the Cyclocomputer though, my money's on Trimm One Lite still. For just a little bit more than the IGS630 you get a head unit that includes a solar charger and a speed sensor powered by the sun as well, for virtually infinite battery life. It has great mapping features and the route can be edited through the app and has some degree of re-routing as well. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it as well, in case you're interested to get one.

+1 for the YBN chain recommendation. With counterfeit Shimano/SRAM/KMC chains being so common these days, I switched to YBN because they are a known quantity and don't have counterfeits. Interestingly, I've got more miles out of my YBN's than any other chain brand except Campy. Their SLA models are particularly long wearing.

I love seeing the items you get from Ali Express, and you and your channel basically inspired me to build my own bike from scratch. Bought most things from Ali Express, frame and fork and bars from Carbonda. Works pretty well, I put a Sensah Empire Pro on it. Thinking of changing to Ltwoo over the next winter for the hydraulic, and maybe electronic if available in a price I want to pay! Not always the prettiest in the world, my bars could use a rewrap or three, but I'm super happy and super proud of it. And you were also great and responsive to email questions. So best of luck on the channel, and keep the videos coming! (PS, added the toe covers and bike light to my cart already!)

My first bike computer for recording my rides was a TomTom sports watch back in 2018. The TomTom could connect with HR/Speed/Cadence sensors and via GPS record the route. It had a probleme keeping contact with the cadence sensor so a year later (2019) I bought the iGS50E which was then the second best from iGSport which also worked great. The reason I went for iGSport was because Garmin and the like were to expensive. In 2022 iGSport then brought out the iGS620 which I then bought because of the Navi and as I'm a 71 year old pensioner and time on my hands I can upload a lot of routes to ride.

Much better road feel than butyl, but you definitely had to top off your tire every morning.

@Przemo-c 8 месяцев назад

I've been using TPU tubes for some time and they are fantastic. Their benefit is mainly from rolling resistance however they do make the bike feel more agile and nimble and that's due to weight difference. Given all the titanium/carbon upgrades you can make tpu innertubes shouuld be the first thing to do given cost per gram saved. In on my gravel e-bike I shaved off 240g just by replacing innertubes. And it may be placebo but they seem to take a bit of an edge from road chatter.

I have exactly the same front light and I simply love it. I can tell all you said and one more thing you forgot, its let’s say “head” part where the LED, reflector and On Off switch is, it can be rotated to set it right if mounted on “garmin” mount. I personally using Bryton and I have genuine aluminium on front computer mount, so I put my light below computer and it looks so sleek, as from factory. Really good light. It seems Enfitnix will make one new model even stronger soon.

Thanks for the tips. I bought a few of those TPU tubes immediately after watching this vid.

I saw a glimpse ( 11:37 ) of those pants and belt and my mind immediately went back to 1990's and a second later you mention it. It felt weirdly nostalgic.

It's hard to skip one of your videos. Definitely going to try the Pedal extenders.

Listen Luke that 1995 look is my Dad look in 2023! Love it. I bought those tubes a couple weeks ago. Interested to see how well they hold up. I have used latex tubes as well. They are fine but the weight savings of the TPU can’t be beat. 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖

Very helpful video Luke... bring up some more

Great idea on the pedal extenders!

Those TPU inner tubes by ride now are brilliant. Just tried the 36g ones, amazing. Not sure if im brave enough to try the 24g ones as im a heavier rider. Just ordered another 3. Brilliant Channel!!!! thanks Luke!!!!!

Hey Luke, Thanks for recommending the Enfitnix light. Just got mine in the June sale for £26, delivered in just over a week to UK. Excellent quality. I was going to buy the Garmin UT800. For it’s fitment under the computer mount. The Enfitnix does the same for much less. Cheers 🥖🥖🥖

@percival3830 Год назад

Glad to hear you've gone Tonto. Also thanks for the tip as regards the front light and chains, I'm in for them. On that subject, a pal of mine says I'm doing it all wrong by cleaning my bike pretty much after every ride, and taking the chain off for a soak once a week. The bit he finds alarming is unlocking the master link and then re-using it. Is this dangerous? Give it to me straight! Ya gotta tell me Doc! Am I too clean???

I bought my IGS630 for 140 USD on black Friday sale, included a TPU and an ARM to mount on the handlebar. 100% recommended.

@peterjanovcik9973 Год назад

Very useful stuff for cyclist on a budget. Been looking for a decent light for year but don't feel like forking out a hundred smackers for one. Cheers!

I bought 4 of the RideNow TPU inner tubes and am very happy with them. One came with a slow leak, but I managed to patch it with their own patch kit. Just use plenty of their glue and keep pressing the patch back down if it tries to curl up while the glue dries. 🥖🥖🥖

@thomasullmann7447 Год назад

Just had my first puncture today with the ridenow innertubes but I was on a section of roadworks. The holes were tiny but it went down super fast. We will see in time, they are 100% recyclable too so I'm hoping they really are as great as hoped.

@Rookie10101995 Год назад

Try latex tubes! Made the switch from butyl to latex 3000km ago, without a puncture yet. Combined with a good set of tires, like Gp5000, the decrease in rolling resistance is massive compared to a regular setup. Only downside is that they loose air over time- I have to pump my tires back to proper pressure before every ride.

@dirkhunt9425 Год назад

I am definitely interested in more of the other cycling stuff and your experience with it. I don't buy a bike or wheelset very often, but I tend to try the little gegaws and whatzits more often.

Another great vid Luke. The 90's outfit is "Stella!".🥖🥖🥖 Would like to see a full review of the computer?? So how safe is shopping on Ali Express? Is there a risk? As more of us venture over there, due to the Extortionate prices of the western manufactures (Who get all their stuff made by the companies that sell on Ali Express) I think a video on what to look out for, what to do, what not to do might be very helpful? A big congrats on the going full-time I pray you'll never look back. Bless you mate.🥖😉👍

One thing I'd love to see you review are some cheaper top tube and/or frame bags. Not looking to bike pack, but something to carry a few items on longer rides

Oh and electric pumps
