Went to buy some stuff from AliExpress but the new send verification code slider all written in Chinese put me off - assuming it's all good but was having a low risk day
All my Aliexpress MTB purchases reviewed.

So Ali decided that the seller sending me the cheaper 11-40t cassette was worth a $27 refund 
I could have bought the 11-40t for $74
Instead opted for the 11-42t at $137, so ultimately it cost me $110 so far with the $27 refund.
Ali now frozen my complete 2/2/22 order as a charge back has been filed.
I have sent all the shit to PayPal and have requested a further $60 to keep the cassette I didn't want and is of no use to me.
Have also said to PayPal that I am in this for the long game and will contact my CC Company if they don't fix this.
We'll see how it goes.

Might do but not at this time. I have a Mawson trail trip coming up and if I cannot get a 42t by then, I'll have to use the 40t.
Currently got the ZTTO with the lose cogs fitted and don't trust it.

Quote my own post but it arrived yesterday. Not sure what happened. Courier dropped it off, all happy happy joy joy. Glitch in the matrix or something.

Am curious, how much axle sticking out on drive side for endcap to slide onto? Also, how is centrelock disc alignment to caliper when in the frame?

Cassette was already on so couldnt remove end cap.
Drive side axle sits 10mm in from end of cap
Non drive side approx 17.5mm
Disc seems to be pretty far outboard but ok.

At a fraction of the cost of a true Fidlock bottle I was willing to give this a go.
The bottle has the word "magic" written on it. Can confirm it is not magical at all.
It seems to hold in place very well, though I haven't tested it beyond the shitty gravel rutted tracks they call "shared paths" in my area.
I have to get used to the action of returning it to the magnets while riding. I can take it off while on the move no problem, but putting it back results in much swearing and almost dropping the damn thing.
It doesn't leak, which is nice.
It doesn't have a cover for the...what is it called? The teet? The nozzle? The water exit bit? That's a bit of a downer.
For the price and fit on a small frame, ace, Will buy again.

Personally, I don’t have trouble returning my Fidlocks to their mount…though I rarely drink on the fly.
Only one of my Fiddy’s has a cover over the nozzle anyway…and it doesn’t keep shit out anyway.

They are cheap enough from BikeComponents, Bike24 and the likes thats it not worth the fake gamble on something so critical (for me anyway)
The last thing I'd want is broken spokes and a full set to rebuild.
I've had a few shitters from Ali lately.
Still ordering stuff though

Tend to agree. AliExpress is great for generic bike bits and consumables or cheaper groupsets etc.Still ordering stuff though
The pain and inconvenience of a wheel rebuild is higher than the cost saving.
AliExpress for me is about picking your battles.

At least this one has a thermal overload for the motor, but they lied to me about the brushless motor.

This looks like a well chosen battle. Onward to victory....................
