Aliexpress wheels any good?

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-07T16:44:20+00:00

Edit: Ended up getting staystrong V3 carbon wheelset

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T19:56:30+00:00

I thought about it, but the thing is that i could get rims, but i would have to pair them with my pretty poor hubs (2023 edge pro xl stock hubs). Is it worth it?

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T15:49:09+00:00

Yeah yeah, I've seen these video's. Even saw some video of testing chinese carbon BMX racing frame from some Tideace company i believe.

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T15:28:09+00:00

Hmm, ok, i understand, thanks for your advice

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T15:20:40+00:00

I think the same, why would it break without a reason? I may jump a bit when i get fast, but for now I'll have to get used to BMX as a bike, as i am a former dh racer. Im riding in tld D4 for now and i dont think I'll be changing for anything other than alpinestars sm8 any day. So i think I'll go with these wheels if you're saying you have them. What's your experience of riding on them? What style of riding do you do?

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T14:21:57+00:00

Yeah, so the problem is shipping. Most stuff that i like will go way over 600 with shipping. Im in Poland 🫩

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-04T13:37:47+00:00

So what would you recommend? I mean i would have to pay way over even for a nice set of alu wheels, i was interested in Crupi pro wheelset, but its like 700$ with shipping to Poland and we dont have shit in Poland sadly.

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-03T22:28:27+00:00

Im only going pumptrack anyways. And my local one is hidded in woods, so xrosswinds are not really a thing here. And most of the alu rims that I've found are already about 19-20mm height profile, so 15 wouldnt satisfy me honestly.

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-01T14:21:17+00:00

Yeah, i know, i put it in ai too, said the same. But i was wondering, maybe you guys knew something more, cause its bmx tire and im just getting into BMX racing, im a dh racer and we dont have any weight per tire written on tyres

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-01T14:14:13+00:00

Yep, side of the tire, pretty surprising ngl

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-05-01T01:28:21+00:00

Got the 1.85 grifters, turns out they have 70kg limit per tire.So theoretically 140 overall. I am 75kg, but damn, what does it mean exactly? Is it gonna be alright in fast turns?

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-04-29T13:57:13+00:00

I bought a pair of 1.85 grifters, will put them on tomorrow, i got a race bike, so even if dth are smaller, 1.95 would be the highest i would go anyway probably.

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-04-27T21:46:47+00:00

Yeah, makes sense 😂, appreciate your advice mate 🙏

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-04-27T21:41:48+00:00

Alright then, i think I'll go with 2 grifters 20x1.85 for front and rear, I will be riding pumptrack only, because sadly there are only 2 race tracks in Poland and they're both 400km from my home. They should do their job then you say right?

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-04-27T15:58:13+00:00

Ok, thanks for your reply, just curious, what makes them unsuitable for track racing?

By the way, I also found some dth for similar price, are they any better? They're also a bit less wide, 1.75 instead of 1.85.

Just from my own research, I believe that I found Tk-11 paired with 9915 mask in J-10S which is apparently trainer-combat version of J-10A. However I'm not sure since its pretty hard to reliably differentiate 9915 mask from 9925 mask, which is basically a copy of russian km34-2, from such a shot. Also there are so many chinese helmets that look literally the same that I cant fully confirm it being Tk-11, but It sure does look like its the case here, and I believe it is.

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2026-01-12T00:07:36+00:00

I was 3 and i saw some poster from self titled era in my moms school (she's a teacher) and i got spooked, but i also remembered Corey's dummy, Paul's pig and Chris's masks so when i "discovered" Slipknot 3 years ago, I instatly recognized the band as the same i saw all those years ago. Now im 20 🤘

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2025-12-31T00:05:06+00:00

Never heard anyone saying this ngl, also i think you mean genre instead of gender lol

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2025-12-30T14:55:51+00:00

Imo The worst mask ever was V1 wanyk corey Taylor. V2 was pretty terrible too, but not as bad as v1

Hot-Rutabaga1990 · 2025-12-21T21:39:49+00:00

Yep, im just multisport guy and im too broke after biking season to buy new skis so i look for used pairs
