@bigdamo at $27 and the potential to fall apart quickly and maybe dodgy sizing, I would be looking at Motocross gloves locally.Has anyone tried these gloves. I broke the metacapal bone in my hand and I want the most protection I can get for my hand when i get back on the bike. Rockbros SBR + rubber shockproof anti fall.
I have an unhealthy affinity to pork, but that is just way too weird.Not strictly bike related, but Ali seems to have some extremely odd but entertaining products tucked away.
I'm sure you have all had 'FTW is this?' moments and is worthy of its own thread.
This is first pork foot pillow I've ever seen and never expected to be made. Someone out there thought that this must be a great idea.
Here you go folks, behold.......

Unless something is amiss, a carbon fibre rim won't cause a catastrophic failure.
So far, these rims have tensioned up beautifully evenly (>10% variance) with no deformations.
This indicates consistent layup.
They were easier to vertically true than "known brand" rims and feel much more robust under tension than name brand carbon or alloy rims (Namely - Xentis, AX Lightness, Tune, Curve - 2 variants of, Stans, Light Bicycle).

You’re clearly not counting the distance travelled back to the shop for the Brose motor.So my Ali rims now have more Km on them than an average Brose motor...
FixedYou’re clearly not counting the distance travelled back and forth to the shop for warranty replacement of the Brose motors.
Is this what @Ackland just bought/built?Scored a Light Bicycle AM930 for $150 locally to go on the rear, figured i'd try one of these for the front. Reviews/questions for CarbonBeam rims don't paint an overly positive impression, but hey, willing to guinea-pig. Will be lacing to a front ZTTO hub for full china points.

Supposedly a newer design & slightly wider. I also purposefully opted for the "heavyweight" build even though i'm ~75kg on a good day.Is this what @Ackland just bought/built?
I had a good run with this carbonbeam rim on the back of an enduro bike , built up better than the BTLOS rim I paid more for - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001443452592.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef18022tfNN6Scored a Light Bicycle AM930 for $150 locally to go on the rear, figured i'd try one of these for the front.
