from aliexpress. I've not done this before. How dodgy is it? The seller claims 70 favourable reviews, but no matter how one tries only one (in Italian) can be viewed (which isn't wildly inspiring).
You,ve got a binocular...or is it a pair of binoculars, but that's surely 4 monoculars.??My limited alli experience (3 purchases) is positive, 2 corect items (RC car parts) and the third sent the wrong model monocular, the corect item resent and I got to keep the first monocular aswell

A little bit of research for you.
See if you can find the weight of the following Schwalbe tyres. I keep coming up with differing info.
(1) Nobby Nic EVO 27.5 x 2.80 Addix folding Snakeskin TL-Easy Apex Speed Grip (blue stripe)
(2) The the same Nobby Nic tyre, but in in 27.5 x 3.0
(3) Magic Mary 27.5 x 2.80 Addix folding Snakeskin TL-Easy Apex Speed Grip (blue stripe)
(4) Schwalbe Rocket Ron 27.5 x 2.80 Snakeskin TL Easy Pacestar

Good question ? As I was typing " Binocular " my iPad assumed I was saying " binoculars " and automaticly corrected my typing.
Ocular being the thing you look through, bi or mono denotes the quantity.
Just like, cycle prefixed by bi, uni or tri. You wouldn't say bicycles or a pair of bicycles when there was only one

Nice one. I spent ages looking at their site without being able to figure that one out.
There are so many people quoting differing weights, so it's good to actually get them from source.
I'm just playing around with figures for the pedal bike.
On the rear I'll be adding 175g by swapping out a 2.8 Rocket Ron in favour of a 2.8 Nobby Nic and on the front I'll adding 40g by swapping out a 3.0 Nobby Nic for a 2.8 Magic Mary.
Going tubeless saves 495g so I'm still making an overall saving of 280g. Crucially the additional weight isn't as much as I had thought on the front.

I run hans dumpf on back, harder longer lasting compound with stronger carcus. Soft gripper compound magic mary on front.
There is no reason you cant fit Magic mary to rear, excellent grip but higher rolling resistance, which is not issue on ebike.
I wonder where my latest purchase of a set of hanging scales comes from.
"Batteries included". I had to smile.

Is a penes battery made for something else perhaps?I wonder where my latest purchase of a set of hanging scales comes from.

Oh, that did make me chuckle.I wonder where my latest purchase of a set of hanging scales comes from.

Does anyone know why the Chinese create bastardised brands such as this? I mean, its not that anyone would actually mistake these for genuine Panasonic cells and if they really wanted to create a proper knock-off, I'd imagine they'd clone something much more desirable like Duracells.

Generally very good satisfaction with Ali, a couple of items instantly refunded after a no show. One item that did turn up very late after a no show following a refund, I contacted seller and paid the owing amount and received a open voucher for a discount next time.
To make sense of the above comment.
Never too early, especially as I want to be out on it on either Xmas Day or Boxing Day. I'm current thinking eMTB today, analogue tomorrow, then eMTB the day after.
And for Luke @Rutland Cycling
