All my Aliexpress MTB purchases reviewed.

I just made my first AliExpress bike stuff purchase!

Most notably a rechargable bike pump and some TPU tubes, oh and another ZTTO dropper lever, all out bikes will have them for the price of one Wolftooth lever.

50m rolls of tubeless tape ?
 
Faark, forgot that.. and I forgot those mushroom things. I'm sure I'll order again soon!

What I do is add them to my cart as a reminder, then close down the AE page, the items stay there then until I'm ready to do a block order but quite often the prices change.

So when you are going to actually place the order, do a search again as the older items in your cart may no longer be the best price or option.

Do you have any recent recommendations for rim tape? The last few I've bought were a bit shit.

I'll have a look when I get home.

I've had a few duds too. Mostly they just weren't sticky enough to stay in place.

A heat gun around the tape job after helps it stick and conform to the rim shape. Use some leather gloves as it gets f%#ing hot.
 
Ali order came through - all look real - Cues 11 speed drivetrain, Deore 4 pots, Shimano 203 and 180 rotors, couple of tubeless valves, Disk mount adaptor and a bucket load of headset spacers as for some reason I keep running out. Came as above but each bit wrapped in ample bubble wrap (i.e. no boxes etc). This was from 6-7 different sellers but all thrown in a big soft plastic bag and shipped together. Only real PITA is the brakes are assembled, hopefully I don't have to cut the barb off to install as it's a pretty long bike and might run out of hose.
