Cycling accessories from Temu and AliExpress - Should they be avoided.

The solar light that destroys your eardrums at random intervals was hilarious, thanks for subjecting yourself to that. Cheers!

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

Haha, you are welcome. It has to be the most obnoxious solar light ever!!

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Nice,. Thanks for taking the financial hit for us. 👍🙂🚴‍♀️

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

You are welcome. Thankfully it was a very small hit.

I’ve got a couple of flashing rear and front lights (cob I think) which I got from a chain store here in South Australia (called Big W). USB rechargeable and good battery life. Only 20 or 30 AUD for the pair. They do sell a front light which is good as a torch but I prefer something with a bit more lumens, not that I do a lot of night riding. I’m not really keen on buying, sight unseen, but I have done it. I did buy a whole kit of GoPro compatible accessories for a pretty cheap price. Some quite reasonable accessories. It’s a lucky dip sometimes. 😊

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

It certainly is!!

I've seen the Temu ads. Until now, I had no idea what it was. And now that I know, I'm still not going to use it.

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

HAHA, so you don't think they will be inviting me onto their advertising staff then?!!

[@rickzalewski2728]

Being adventurous might get you a diamond, but i wouldn't risk it with critical or safety items.

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

Fantastic advice.

[@anitarosbrook8401]

How about coming to stay for a month or so to test out my cleaning materials and gadgets…thoroughly?❤

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

That would be perfect!!❤

[@ricksmith2127]

You bought a motorcycle chain clean tool.

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

That would explain a lot!!! However, this is the description on Temu: Bike Chain Cleaner Brush Set, ABS Material, Universal Applicable, 3-Sided Chain Cleaning Tool for Bicycle and Motorcycle. But it definitely does not work as a brush for a bicycle chain.

[@Astronomater]

I had a temu ad at the beginning of the video.

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

Oh no!!!! I promise, that was nothing to do with me!

[@GrumpyRides]

Its a crappy chain oiler that doesnt work. The chain brush works really well in motorbike chains but a bit large for cycles

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

Yeah, I had no idea about the chain cleaner until another viewer mentioned that it was designed for motorbikes. The description of it on Temu is misleading as it also says it is for bicycles!! it certainly doesn't work very well on bicycle chains.
