    It's been two years since I risked buying my bike stuff from Ali express and others. Yes, you can get terrible things that break even before installing them, but the vast majority of tools and parts have been a game changer for me. Good quality that break the same as the expensive ones. Definitely the industry is changing. Why not further test some of those parts?

    • @EVO1CYCLING
      @EVO1CYCLING  Місяць тому +3

      I agree, I admittedly have always been an advocate of the name brands and parts that are “obviously quality” because of the price point. But lately with trying some cheaper things out and getting into making my own stuff it’s been a real eye opener. What parts should I really put to the test?

      Ok, if you don't mind 1- waiting @ least 6 months or more for your product to even be delivered
      & 2- Ali never decides to be upfront with their shipping charges or, freight but will say their stuff is supposedly "cheap'; @ least Temu HAS this info upfront.
      This being said, Temu & Ali can be a dice roll as far as if what you're getting is actually worth it, but, I've gotten some really good quality clothing & other things off of them.

    I bought some "SRAM Centerline" 180mm rotors from Temu. I'm 100% sure they were counterfiet but I ran them for about 8 months with absolutely no problem until i bought some SRAM floating rotors from Jenson USA. I also bought some ODI grips which, again I think were counterfeit but I also ran them for a while until I switch up the color scheme on my bike.

    8:02 that is a Benchmade Osborn knife. hands down best knife Ive ever owned. i was lucky enough to get it at cost because of my place of work at the time. got one for my buddy on his wedding and he carries it daily. i would actually pay the absurd retail price for that knife, probably 300$. You kind find it cheaper for sure. I always lost my knife and broke them until i had a knife that actually did the job. Ive had this knife fore over 6 years and its the best knife Ive ever owned.

    • @EVO1CYCLING
      @EVO1CYCLING  Місяць тому +1

    Most hand pumps are actually Beto, most shock pumps are actually Beto or Gyio. Many big brands use them, but rebranded , Fox (used Gyio in the past, now uses Beto, even digital shock pump is Beto), DVO, Rockshox uses GYIO. Trek also bikes come with unbranded Beto pump.
    I saw a Beto pump for really cheap in a department store, double price in sports store.

  • @miindthegaap
    @miindthegaap Місяць тому +2

    Loved your video Mr Zelensky. I usually buy things from temu where quality is not a factor. e.g. valve caps, bar end caps, camera mounts, various straps and. I would not recommend buying from temu anything you're going to put your weight on so taking an example from your purchase pedalse would be a big no from me because if they fail you could get seriously injured I can imagine those pedals snapping in half and cutting your leg open. Nope! Nope!

    • @EVO1CYCLING
      @EVO1CYCLING  Місяць тому

      Thank you!! I absolutely agree, I did put the pedals on my spin/stationary bike to try out but I would be afraid to actually ride them normally. I saw someone buy carbon handlebars recently from there and that is truly frightening!

    I bought a black market? Fork like ten years ago. I guess like Trek will order 50 thousand forks so they make 100 or whatever number extra forks and they become maybe blemished so they can't sell them brand new. So I got a brand new blemished Fox front shock for $100 in the mail one time.
    I ended up selling the bike though. I brought it into a bike shop and they couldn't tell if it was fake or not either

  • @jonntischnabel
    @jonntischnabel Місяць тому +1

    I bought some really cheap, "wheel up" oil slick pedals that were clearly Chinese , however, they have survived extreme ground strikes through rock gardens , and several hundred miles of the worst the peak District national park can throw at them, and the bearing still spin smooth and quiet. Some of this stuff is pretty good. But some not so. I would never trust a Chinese tyre (on my car either), it's the most important point of contact with the ground. Seat post, bars and stem need to have some form of quality control too. Imagine a cheap Chinese stem or bars breaking in two whilst you land a gnarly drop going flat out. 😂

    • @EVO1CYCLING
      @EVO1CYCLING  Місяць тому

      I literally thought about the stem and had a brief anxiety attack 😅 I wouldn’t send it down a double black right off the bat but I did toss those pedals on my spin bike to see how they do over a few weeks of putting down power and running the bearings in before I try any landings. I think over the years China has tried to break the stigma that everything is cheap and poor quality which long term could be great for our sport!
