Temu for cycling goods

[RayRay123]

Temu bibs are AWESOME! Remember to check which pad it has. 2D/4D is no good. Check the expensive ones on cycling sites and take something similar. 

 

You don't have to pay 2k for a bib anymore, it's ridiculous. 

You will find that the Sami pad is exactly the same as the 2k bibs.

Delivery take about 2 weeks at max. It's free. 

 

NB!! Clothing is 20% import duty as of 1 April 2025. So if your item is R1000 

Import Duty: 20% = R200

VAT: 15% of (1000 + 200) = R180

Total Charges: R200 (import duty) + R180 (VAT) = R380

Total cost for package = +-R1380

We’ve got a bunch of Temu BOAs in use and they’re brilliant. Haven’t had one break yet and my MTB flats in particular take quite some force mostly from me moering off the bike. 

💯. I put Temu boas on all of my kids' takkies and schoolshoes, because I was tired of them not tying their shoelaces properly. None have broken yet. These cheap boas are durable.

I ordered 2 of the above based on your recommendations. For use on IDT. 

Got quite a decent discount so paid less than R800 for 2 bibs, excluding duties and VAT.

Mastering your shoelaces was an introductory process for the gateway to primary school! You’ve robbed the PlayStation Generation of this opportunity. I strongly recommend you reverse this decision and make them work harder. My kids can buy their own  BOA’s one day. 🤣🤣🤣

Have ordered some of the Bibs and a gillet vest from them plus some other tat base don the reviews on tis site. At the price the shorts are great for the IDT in winter and Zwifting - as long as they are half decent i can get 3 pairs for every one Ciovita .

lets see.

Anyone order the new pocket infkators that seem to be all the rage - much niftier than CO2. if so which ones are the best?

I ordered from AliExpress years ago, and they were ok - I bought cassettes, chainrings, pedals, grips, tools. Not clothing. The problem was that shipping was via sea, and locally via SAPO, so I had a few long and nervy shipping experiences. I had hoped that TEMU would make AliExpress up their game and bring prices down, but alas. I reckon AE is obsolete. 

AliExpress has upped their game. I have ordered some genuine Shimano brake parts that the local extortionists do not supply (Infamous XT master cylinder bladder being one) and had them all within 10 days of the order being placed via a fully tracked courier service (iMile).

Good to know. Do you pay extra for the courier?

Pocket inflator, a gadget I never knew I needed 🤣

yeah but if you look at the demos it makes a lot of sense rather than CO2 bombs which are always a lottery. I saw a video and as we had some punctures last weekend which were multiple CO2 bombs and pumps etc this would. have solved a ton of issues. Decided to pull the trigger on one.

Which one did you go for? Please provide feedback as this will also work for my dual purpose motorcycle.

there are bigger ones which are better for motorbikes. I have one I used to use on my motorbike which worked fine - needs a bigger battery and more volume as cycling tyres much smaller but it worked okay.

FYI I have one of these for the motorbike - also a LOT more expensive than the temu version:

Lumeo has the bigger inflators and I use mine for everything apart from pool floaties (just takes too long). Lumeo pump

Pocket one could be decent but I’d double check the output before buying and buy the one with the best output or it might feel like blowing up a camping mattress.

As much as I agree with you .... 

 

I do wonder how it works adding the BOA to a pair of tekkies .... I sure as heck may just go for this .... 

 

Any pictures of these would be nice.
