I’ve bought 1000’s of cheap cycle gadgets on AliExpress in the past, here are 5 of my favourites for under £10!
AliExpress has a bit of a reputation for cheap rubbish, but it does have some fantastic cycle kit, and if you know where to look, some awesome cycle gadgets.
I've been buying virtually all my bike parts from it since around 2018, and must have bought 1000’s of things related to road bikes and cycling over the years.
Not everything I've bought has been great but there are definitely some hidden gems, so in this episode I’ll cover 5 of those.
A portable torque wrench, a chain breaker that fits inside your drop bars, an internal cable routing tool, a fantastic chain wear gauge, a laser wheel alignment tool, a tubeless plug kit, and finally some interesting rearview mirrors.
Also just FYI, I bought all of these products myself 🥖🥖🥖
