AliExpress has a bit of a reputation for cheap rubbish, but it does have some fantastic cycle equipment if you know where to look. 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 some things which REALLY surprised me. So in this episode, I’ll cover 5 things which have really lasted, and far exceeded my expectations! A set of lightweight plastic and titanium pedals from Costelo, a pair of incredible shifters from MicroNew, carbon cycle shoes from Sidebike, disc rotors from ZRACE and ZTTO, and some carbon bike saddles (plus a few extras!).
