5 Cheap AliExpress Bike Upgrades!

I would advise some caution with the Ridenow 19g inner tubes. I purchased 8 of them and punctured all 8 within 200 miles of riding (both wheels). To be fair to the tubes I am a heavier rider at 97kgs, however I contacted the manufacturer and they said the weight limit was 130kgs. My total weight including bike and items I carry puts me well below the maximum recommended weight. Tubolito make tubes that weigh 19g that they label as a "spares" tube- which would suggest it'll get you home in a pinch but shouldn't be your primary tube. My guess is that these tubes function like the tubolito spares tubes, but either due to unclear marketing or translation issues, they're sold as simply a lighter TPU tube. I use the 36 gram ones currently from Ridenow and have had no issues after hundreds of miles in wintery conditions.

As an MTB enthusiast, I've found Ali to be an excellent source for chainrings. Back when SRAM was charging exorbitant prices for ovals, I snagged an Ali alternative for under $14, and it's been running flawlessly since 2019! Ali excels at providing "simple" bike parts at great prices. Luke, thanks for doing all of this. More than once I've bought things based off your IRL experiences, has always worked out well for me.

Thanks for another great video. I wish there were many more channels like yours, dedicated to saving us money rather than bowing to big name sponsors who vastly overcharge for everything. We need to make cycling a more affordable sport so that more people are out there riding.

I have been watching this channel for a while now. It dawned on me the other day, I don't use ali express, I'm not really interested in buying knock-off parts, yet I still really enjoy this channel. I do learn a lot about bike maintenance, manufacturing processes, bike tech, and so on. Also, I really like Luke's goofy sense of humor; It's very entertaining! I'll keep watching and clicking that like button!

from my experience, I can say that many drivers will not understand this flashing light that you are turning or not, for them it will just be a light of some kind

Love your energy in your videos. All the enthusiasm, none of the cyclist smugness.

Got a BSC200 6 months ago, accidentally dropped it and smashed a button. iGPSport replaced on warranty NQA, and gave me an out front mount and silicone case as gifts! Top marks!
