Cocaine - They said it was 100% safe to order from them - Was also way cheaper than anything carbon I used to order
Boring answer, awaiting customs clearance it will update in a few days. Poor wording.

Mine "fail" to clear customs all the time and rock up in the PO box. I think it's just a system error or something

Got out for a ride with the spacer and 26t ring installed.Realised I didn't link any of the items yesterday.
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!

The link for the spacer is toast but this is the same one...

The only thing with the spacer is that it pushes the mounting torx screws out towards the BB and so an extra spacer washer is needed so the screw don't foul on the BB. This is just a interim fix to see if the 26t with 155mm crank is worth it.
Then I think I'll fork out for a proper offset steel ring
With the exception of some excess paraffin wax on my newly waxed chain that caused some chain suck just as we left the carpark, the chain ring worked flawlessly.
Definitely a bit easier to pedal up (than the 28t) with the 155mm kids cranks on the bike.

turned up today, quality looks OK/good for the price.
Really nice that it seals before pressurising (and that bit is easily replaceble silicone tube)
Got a Schrader one for moto too, and both read same: about 1psi less than Topeak elec one (that i suspected was reading a bit high...)
good!
moto/car one glows (briefly) after UV charge

What is this for?

Checking tyre pressures
The glow shit? Supposed to work like other glow things, so maybe if your garage or side of road is dark and you don't have torch, but do have headlights?
UV light charges up glow things much faster than normal light, so was just testing it.

Don't forget DON'T GO OVER 30 PSI

Don't forget to go over 30psi, check.
The presta will only go on MTB tyres, the schrader on car/moto, so should be safe.
They do rattle a bit inside. Nothing alarming but.. at some point will open up.

2nd ride on this 26t chainring, but back on 29er wheelset, definitely felt climbing was "easier" today than with the original 28t. Whether that is because of the wagon wheels or the fact I've managed 4 weeks in a row (1 ride each week) so I have some semblance of fitness I'm not sure.

How is the PASS QUEST-MTB Bike Chainring holding up. I'm thinking of getting one of their oval chainring to try. Did you have to take a link out of the chain when dropping down to the 26T from the 28T.

15kms and 459m elevation this arvo on it, so a total of about 50kms now. Has been flawless.
Take a link out...?
Hasn't been an issue that I've noticed.

So I'm building a heinous MonsterCross-GravelPacker with bits mostly from the shed. I've been digging AB Oval rings on my bikes recently, so figured I'd splash a huge $20 on one of these to, quite frankly, see what it looks like.

I've not installed it yet, but the clocking is the same as the AB rings, which is a positive. The teeth are hugely taller on the Ali version, will be interesting to see how it wears... I've got a few AB rings in the fleet at the moment, so tracking wear will be easy enough to do.

One of the Items I ordered came missing 1 part - A part that you really need to make the rest of it work - Contacted Seller thinking well accidents happen - Had to wait 4 days for them to be back in the "Shop" to reply to me - They then asked me to click a link to get the part I was missing ordered - they wanted me to pay $2 to get the part I was missing - I asked him why am I paying for a part you didnt send me that I already paid for - "We can only send you something as part of an order if you want to order something else we can include the part in that order" - Umm No I want to get what I ordered - "No we can only send if you place order" - Ok I will just get a refund then - Ask Ali for refund and seller starts messaging me "cancel cancel - you can still cancel" - I said Cancel what the refund I am not paying for something I paid for - Ali Express stepped in with a resolution I chose refund - they gave me a shipping a label and I sent it back - then 5 days later I get a message Seller is disputing refund we will get back to you - A day later I got full refund
