Can confirm as my butchers maille vest was classified as PPE went through customs without a phonecall

Wasn't impressed with the courier company. Threw the Temu package over the fence, then left. Saw it a bit later on the lawn.

Got a the tool to remove the a DT Swiss 350 lock ring  for sub R200 and a few other goodies. All in all R350ish, paid R70 rax and had the parcel in less than 10 days from order.

First time buying from and was a lot more pleasent experience than aliexpress/fleabay.

 

And more than happy with the tool quality

Decided to try one of the Ryet Temu saddles. 3d printed top with carbon fibre base and rails. So far so good.

Anyone bought some bibs yet from Temu? The local ones are just getting too expensive (at least for indoor training) - and seems like there are quality issues anyway (enough threads on that already...). I'd love to support local but R2k for an entry-level bib seems a bit excessive.

I got some bibs as part of my order testing the delivery. Some bibs, tools, camera etc all for R200 in some intro offer, so no idea what the bibs itself cost me. Quality is what can be expected from that price. The pad is not very good, and the sewing does not look like it will last more than a year. But for indoor it works for my hour-ish rides in the week. Would not use for longer or outdoor rides. YMMV, my bum does not mind bad bibs/saddles that much.
