I reckon its a mistake on the way they have set it up.Could do perhaps. Just weird. I was thinking of doing the ozzybmx way... but half expecting them to send 10 separate packages. Gotta be a weird postage cost related thing perhaps? Or a loss leader
Yes, get yourself a 28degrees Mastercard or similar ans attach it to your PayPal account. No international transaction fees, no international currency changing fees and a better exchange rate than PayPal gives you.On a separate note... you can pay for aliexpress with paypal now?!? Saves me pulling out the low limit internet purchases credit card.
If my other half ever went through my 28 degrees statement (technically was only a holiday card but we use it for curency conversion transactions too) it would be carange. Equal parts, booze, bikes and burgers.Yes, get yourself a 28degrees Mastercard or similar ans attach it to your PayPal account.

You can't pretend you're surprised they were rubbish...Steer clear... not that most of you need to be told that.
Absolute shithouse, lucky if they produce 300-400lm, never mind 3000lm. T6 LED's can produce about 350lms each, was thinking 3 x T6 LEDs would put out around 1000lm... obviously.
My first shit Ali purchase in a long time.
2 light units straight to my electronics bin, beside the Nokia 3210's.

No disassemble!You can't pretend you're surprised they were rubbish...
Looks like leftover parts from the short circuit movie....
Was beefing up the boys handlebar lights for the dirty weekend, they have 3 hours from 5pm that they need lights as a team, currently have Cleanskin Duos, I though 3 x T6 instead of 2 would have been brighter... no, about half the light.You can't pretend you're surprised they were rubbish...

Bought something similar off ebay a few years ago, 3xt6 like that but just a slightly different casing. Yeah they aren't much chop. Those self contained ones I got off aliexpress are brighter (cost more too though).Was beefing up the boys handlebar lights for the dirty weekend, they have 3 hours from 5pm that they need lights as a team, currently have Cleanskin Duos, I though 3 x T6 instead of 2 would have been brighter... no, about half the light.
Years ago I would have got the soldering iron out messed about with the electronics and driver but I can be fekked, to the bin.
I found them good, if you want a single PM me.Are those Cleanskins decent then? I think they're $98 at MTBDirect?
That one looks pretty decent but I'm sucker for nice photo. I have pondered this idea too but didn't go ahead.There seems to be plenty of positive reviews but also a few horror stories with Chinese frames.
That's some serious reach measurements on that frame 500mm L and 520mm XL. Seems the "modern geometry" memo is getting through...So has anyone risked a carbon frame from aliexpress or direct from a Chinese carbon company. I'm contemplating this one to build up as a XC bike: https://icancycling.com/collections/mtb-frame/products/xc-full-suspension-mtb-bike-frame-s3
There seems to be plenty of positive reviews but also a few horror stories with Chinese frames.
Thanks, yeah I was going down the chinertown rabbit hole last night. My main reluctance is to do with QC. No doubt there are Chinese no-name frames that are equally as good as a brand name, but I also have no doubt that there are shonky POS frames that look equally nice on the outside but dont have the build quality. Get one of the good ones and I'm sure it will be fine. Ican appear to be one of the good ones. I'll post up if a take the plunge.That one looks pretty decent but I'm sucker for nice photo. I have pondered this idea too but didn't go ahead.
There is some good intel on Chinese sourced frames here http://chinertown.com/index.php
We are fine to buy a chinese made frames with a brand name sticker on it but reluctant to do the same for a no namer.
Yeah, I think this is the first Chinese frame that I've seen that actually had modern geo and not some weird short, steep and tall POS.That's some serious reach measurements on that frame 500mm L and 520mm XL. Seems the "modern geometry" memo is getting through...
True to claimed brightness, but with quite a tight beam. I found I needed to run a secondary wider beam light to fill in the sides a bit. Either way, they're very good value & are well built to boot.Are those Cleanskins decent then? I think they're $98 at MTBDirect?
