The one up composites are still made by the outer nut holding everything together, but most pedals are held together by the outer nut.

Grabbed these as my knobby tired set for my anvil weight steel Marin Nicosia gravel bike.
The postage was a bit but they arrived in 14 days, which is pretty good. They come taped (poorlyish).
Seems straight and well built for the money. Also grabbed some cheapo tubeless valves and hiland rotors. The rotors are the bits I'm worried about the most but it's a gravel bike with 160 rotors, she'll be right...right?
They went together tubeless easily, just waiting on the cluster now.

I got the Shimano / TRP / other 4 pot version.
I've run them for a while now on my hardtail, which I've only been running a rear brake on. 90% single trail, nothing full on downhill, but some decent stops and a few wet rides thrown in too.
Excellent value for money, not noisy, stop well, bed in quickly and haven't disintegrated our blown up.

I've had some good results with the Soocent greens and Dust brake pad brands.

As much as Ali stuff might be questionable at times and it takes time to be confident to sort out the good and bad, I have to give them huge credit for getting so many products out so cheaply.
I'm all good to buy original bits but the lure of 'You know it is probably made at the same place as other brand name goodies' can't be ignored.
We pick our battles of course, but geeez....... It is hard to ignore.

I don't trust anything hub related on there, maybe as they go on in years they might master metallurgy of those small intricate parts.I lost the 60t fovno battle.
It was a brief sortie

10km IIRC.I lost the 60t fovno battle.

My first Fovno 60t got 900km and failed halfway down Blue Tier.
Second is still going after 1200km.
I've given up carrying the spare original.

Come on man, don't you know how the universe works? Now it will break on your next ride on the furthest point from your car.
I went for a 40km ride today and took my son and 5 Huck wit mates. I took 4 spare tubes because they ride like maniacs, no flat tyres. Perfect insurance

I've had good experiences with the ZTTO M1 hubs so far, so long as you replace the crappy ratchets with genuine DT Swiss ones. Other than that they've held up just fine.

Bearings I think are the same size but not 100% sure, ratchets are interchangeable, and so far the freehubs I have around have been too.
