Love these kind of videos. I've got the elitewheels ent 2.0 as a second wheelset for my gravel bike and they are so good. My next step will be building a road bike around them. I really hope they keep these quality products at low prices and don't go the premium only route.
Yeh when my bike shop said I'd have to spend $1000+ on carbon wheels, I was slightly disappointed because I'd already spent $4k on the bike, and now I'd have to dish out another $1k. Very happy to have stumbled across EliteWheels though. Like I said in the video, they saved me a lot of money!
Ah yeh, I've had a look at those. The one thing that stopped me buying it is that I can't fit it inside my Trek Domane frame storage, whereas a mini bike pump, I can. It's crazy how small the electric pumps are getting though.
That's funny 😂 Interestingly though, after this video I did go ahead and buy a real pair of Specialized socks. So now I have a fake pair in grey, and a real pair in gold. But honestly, there's not much between them in terms of quality and functionality between the fake and real pair. I bought the fake pair for a few dollars, whereas the real pair cost me about $15. If I were to buy these socks again, I'd go with the real pair for two reasons: 1. they're very slightly better quality, and 2. I don't like supporting companies pretending to be another company.
Nice list. But personally, I wouldn't buy anything to consume food/water from off Aliexpress. No idea what plastic it's made of and if they adhere to any safety standards.
You can buy e really cheap cable that you rant about if that is only the issue. It is standard band or watch charging cable. So for 1$ more on top of 31$ problem solved :) I keep my cables on the bike that I need on the field. I just don't like magnetic cable on the bike when you are off road, it will slip away instead of charging it... And you count on it that it is charging your light when you need it. And it charges slowly lol Guess for the road bike it is ok. Nice video :)
Nice, I didn't know that. I use the SeeMee 200 rear light now anyway which is superior in terms of brightness and build quality, so I'll just continue using that. But good to know I can buy a cheap proprietary charging cable for the other rear light.
@@fitin30challenge Yeah I know you pretty much said what you think about other standards XD guess you at least can buy a new iPhone now with USB C XD or could stick to Android for the principles that you had about Micro USB and other cables XD I am using just the Ali S**t for too long. One of my bikes has still lights from 6-7 years ago Still working great :) so nothing wrong with Micro USB IMO.
Very nice! Why did you go for the 60mm instead of 50mm? I do like how the 60mm look, but I was just a bit concerned about getting thrown around with crosswind. Saying that, I've not experienced that at all with my 50s, so 60s would probably be fine too.
@@fitin30challenge i came from regular alu fulcrum db whatever, and yeah you need to really hold on to the handlebar... it gets scary if 40kmh+ and coming into the winds, sometimes i slow a bit down but its not too bad. i went for the 60mm since where I currently ride its very flat, and I hope that the extra 100-200g wont be too hard on the climbs. so far they do good, front wheel had to be centered after a few rides tho. Not sure how windy it is at your area, so it is noticeable but for me so far all good
I was surprised how good quality the cheaper AliExpress jerseys were, but now I have the Maap jersey, I have no reason to buy more AliExpress jerseys. Besides, I have to stop spending money now!
The mounts are Trek's priority system. They call it the Blendr System. Very well designed - if a little pricey. But worth it for the clean handlebars. And the Garmin has an in-built alarm feature, where you can activate it, and when the Garmin feels vibration, it sets the alarm off. Quite handy when popping into a coffee shop real quick.
Ah, good to know. Since making this video, I have actually bought some gold Specialised socks (which definitely are real), and there's not that much difference between the fake and the real. The real were not that much more, so unless you were on a super tight budget, I'd just go straight for the real stuff.
Honestly, I never bothered to upgrade my Trek Domane's saddle because it's quite good already. If I bought a budget AliExpress saddle, it would probably be a downgrade.
@@fitin30challenge thats cool, i bought a full carbon one (k1) in 120mm, having saddle issues a lot unfortunatley. it was around 95€ but need to test it out more. first 15min test was quite nice

Elitewheels are great, i've had them for the last 2 years now and they're fantastic
Only had mine a month now but super happy with them too.
4:45 the reason they don't usually do it is because it lowers energy effiency.
Magnetic cables are more waterproof.
No holes for water to get in.
Same as SHOKZ headphones.
Works for me.
Cheers
Very good point! Didn't think of that.

Try the Rockbros air pump, it is much smaller than the Xiaomi meaning you can take it out on rides, in case of random flats.

I have those specialized socks. They actually say spectalized instead of specialized 😂

Thank you!
Great video first time seeing your channel I hope you do more reviews on AliEpress stuff in the future
Thanks for the feedback Adrian. I have a few more in the pipeline, so stay tuned for them :)

Thanks for the nice video! Sadly all of the items are blocked for me in germany...

I also bought the ENT2.0 in 60mm

@@fitin30challenge fr like its gumble when u scrollin to those online shop website, it feels like u need it even tho u don't
Hello Ollie!
Ollie says feed me. That's all he cares about.
What is the Garmin mount called you have on your bike? the one with two clip ins? And what type of garmin alarm is that you mentioned?
The mounts are Trek's priority system. They call it the Blendr System. Very well designed - if a little pricey. But worth it for the clean handlebars.
And the Garmin has an in-built alarm feature, where you can activate it, and when the Garmin feels vibration, it sets the alarm off. Quite handy when popping into a coffee shop real quick.
Those specialised socks aren't real, i have some 'Rapha' ones. They are excellent though!
Ah, good to know.
Since making this video, I have actually bought some gold Specialised socks (which definitely are real), and there's not that much difference between the fake and the real.
The real were not that much more, so unless you were on a super tight budget, I'd just go straight for the real stuff.
what about ali saddles?
