I’ve ordered a bunch this year. Some stuff I’ve gotten that I like:
- Carbon bottle cages
- Top tube bags
- Hand pumps. I ordered 2, one of them worked… but still significantly cheaper than a brand-name one. Also got a handheld pressure gauge for checking the pressure after pumping on the road
- Glasses—Maybe dangerous in a crash.
Some stuff I’m waiting on:
- Cycling computer (iGPSport BSC200). Wanted super basic functionality and am expecting it to be crap. Just a bit concerned with the data handling in terms of privacy.
- Velocity, cadence, HR sensors. WAY cheaper than from Garmin/Wahoo, we’ll see if they work well.
What are your favorites? Or just cheap accessories in general?
Before I was into cycling, I purchased the Nitecore BR25 bike light and Drift Ghost X bike camera from Aliexpress through the respective official brand stores.
That was something like four years ago, and I’m still using those items today (on my bike).
I did buy disk brake pads from Ali for my e-scooter, which I’d probably do again if I get a bike with disk brakes.
Other stuff I own that could be purchased from Aliexpress include several Rockbros items.
