Using not original noname parts is a bad idea. But I bought a nice bike on a aughtum sell. And then I wanted to continue using it, while haven't got money. So let's check what from cheapest stuff from aliexpress is appropriate.
- Noname 1.2$ brake pads. While extreme using it smokes. But perfectly working like original. It fits.
- Service kit for RockShox fork. It is impossible to service fork without it, that is why it still working. Also for service I use only original Liqui Moly and Motorex fork oil and PM600 consistent grease.
- Auto DOT5.1 brake fluid and homemade tips. Now I can use my brakes in the winter, that is nice.
- A 50$ spoke tensiometer. Of course, he is not as precision as original ones. And you will never know, what is actual spoke tension on your wheel. But it is enough for succsessfull repairing your wheels. And even it's enough for building a new wheel. My wheels with periodically repair with this tool 2000+km OK.
- Winter NLGI2 lube from auto shop (VMP MC1400). After service with this consumable, wheels spins lightly even on -20 degrees temperature.
- 5$ 10SP noname chain. Looks like KMC, but with shimano logo (what the .. is this?). This chain stretches and brakes very fast. Use 15$ original shimano instead. Maybe because this unit is highly loaded.
- ZTTO semi-ceramic bearing carriage cartridge. Not appropriate, nevertheless looks technological. It was working for 500-1000 km then it broken. A little bearing play was detected. Use an original shimano/sram bearings instead.
- ZTTO 10SP cassette, twisely cheaper than shimano, shifting is some more complex, but it works.
- 500 Kenda tires from novosibirsk chain supermarket. Of course while extreme ride this tires breaks, but for everyday use in the city and at park it is acceptable.
- 100 roubles flashlight from the same place. Certainly I had 10Watt Cree XML2 with Li-ion from notebook pc. But now I glad to use a cheaper one. And it has a led on radiator, it is good enough for its money.
- Plastic flashlight holder, durable enough. But I advice to find aluminum variant
- Other special tools. One from ali, two from the local shop. And one is handmade from 18mm hex head. To remove cassette, carriage cartridge, and for disassemble bike ratchet.
- 1$ chainsaw oil from the local supermarket. It is appropriate. I do not recognize the difference between original Shimano wet lube and this noname. Thanks to the velolab channel for advice, peace✌.
