This should be in my hands in the next few days depending on AusPost.
About $30 shipped for a chainguide and bashguard.

Looks good.
Bought one. But payment didn't seem to go through. So logged in and bought one.
...
I now seem to have bought two. Oops.
Hopefully they refund the second one.

Was creaking like faaak, squirted it with my water bottle and it went quiet for about 5 mins.

Ztto might work for some but they take a lot of shortcuts where you end up with annoyances. I wouldn't bother with the important stuff after seeing how poor their tolerances are on their BB's, they might get better down the track.

I still can’t fault the 9-42’s. Lots of km’s on all on all of mine. There’s always the element of ‘you get what you pay for’. Compared to SRAM and shimano lower end cassettes that cost 2-4x as much, you get a lot.

We'll I installed the AliExpress app again.
And promptly remembered why I deleted it last time and just use the mobile website...
They LOVE the push notifications for every weird new best amazing popular fantastic must-have thing! My phone's buzzing about 8 times a day with notifications.

Its $60 cassette... we'll see what they say.

Its only on my drop bar IndyFab gravel bike and there was a sunrace on it before so weight is not important.

Might try the sroad one next time as I have both XD and HG freehubs here to swap on and off hope hubs.

Weird, I get zero notifications.

Or access everything through the internet.

I have about 6-8 loaded apps on my phone.

This woman rushes up to my missus and asks her why I hadn't replied to her fakebook messenger she had sent me 6 hours ago :)

I only notification I get is a small beep when money comes out of my bank account... aka a digital confirmation reciept when paying by card. Also a silent one from Strava.

Turn off notifications in your settings.
My man!
Feels like a f-wit confession after clicking three buttons though. Hadn't really looked for settings.

I normally prefer websites. Don't use Fbook app. Do use their messenger app.

But given the website slowness/issues was what caused me to accidently buy two bash guards the other day, figures I'd try it again.

My phone is totally silent, even for calls. I prefer the sounds of nature around me to the jarring disruption of technology.
