I've ordered a bunch this year. Some stuff I've gotten that I like:

  • Carbon bottle cages
  • Top tube bags
  • Hand pumps. I ordered 2, one of them worked.. but still significantly cheaper than a brand-name one. Also got a handheld pressure gauge for checking the pressure after pumping on the road
  • Glasses—Maybe dangerous in a crash.

Some stuff I'm waiting on:

  • Cycling computer (iGPSport BSC200). Wanted super basic functionality and am expecting it to be crap. Just a bit concerned with the data handling in terms of privacy.
  • Velocity, cadence, HR sensors. WAY cheaper than from Garmin/Wahoo, we'll see if they work well.

What are your favorites? Or just cheap accessories in general?

Jerseys and gilets from Spexcel

Bibs from YKYWBIKE

Ride Now TPU tubes are bomb proof

Radar Tail Light and heart rate monitor from Magene (although I haven't tried the Garmin ones)

OG-Evkin Drop Bars

Things I wouldn't recommend

Glasses from Kapvoe (shit quality and risky in a crash)

OG-Evkin seat post (quality is good, but the way the seat attaches is prone to seize and difficult to adjust)
