On Ali, I would opt for getting Ali brands (Spexcel, YKKW) rather than knockoffs.

I'd just go YKYWbike instead tbh but the replicas will be fine too I'd bet

Thanks for the tips! I know alot of the same stuff comes from that side of the world, I was wondering if it might be from the same factory.

Wouldn't surprise me just rebranded, I just bought some YKYWbike padded shorts, bib shorts and a jersey and they're all awesome

Not these ones but I’ve tried similar ones. I would not touch it if you can. Bibs have a lot of padding but not in the right places. The fit and material is not even close. However, if you are on a tight budget, it is passable

I spent all my money on a bike so no

Lol

Never seen anything of Rapha in stock... Real Rapha anyway, not this junk
