I have been using a SIGEYI AXO PM bought on AliExpress and it’s been perfect. It’s a bit pricier than the versions coming out now. My wife has a Coospo S10 PM which does the job for her. I can’t get it to show the issues GPlama complained about in his review. 

Also, I’d rather be supporting the Chinese right now. At least they aren’t making the world more expensive to live in… I have had some pretty good interactions with Chinese companies and support recently. Painting every seller on aliex / Temu with the same brush is a bit stupid IMO. 

PSA: watch the GPLama videos on specific aliex power meters before purchasing

I did and as I said, I was unable to replicate his issues. I tried on the trainer and on the road and nothing.

Serious questions incoming;

Why is it a problem buying things from China? What naughty things has 'The Chinese Empire' done?

Which countries are you happy to import things from/buy things imported from?

I am genuinely interested why you feel so justified sitting atop such a high horse

I just stay away from unknown brands, maybe because Im in the game and seen alot of stuff fail. No high horse, just a humour shot at Temu & Alli fans 🤭

I'm in a different game and feel that you should read this.....

Just a humour shot at those with poor grammar on forums 😋

I have bought a lot of really cool things from Ali and Temu. 

I'd like to re ask why you reference 'The Chinese Empire' and why it is bad to support it

Love the link, I’m saving that.🤓 in reference to the Empire, without them embracing IP, they managed to be the manufacturing basket of the planet. For some reason the communist mindset is ignoring the Western standards of IP. Had the West policed the surge, their growth cycle would have been a lot slower. Take their GDP from just 45 years ago to today. I’m sure you can get some items with a no risk factor but price wise we all know that labour is cheap and in some cases the product has not needed to pass any ISO certification etc. What the world needs to return to, is quality over quantity. That can only Be achieved if we change our purchasing power. Anyways, it’s a lengthy discussion over a beer sometime.🤓.

So far I had 99% good service from them, and I order allot of stuff from that side. I actually ordered a carbon Gravel frame last week that I'm waiting for. Friend if mine go do business that side 4 to 5 times a year and he says the tech and stuff is insane way advanced and they really helpful and always in to do business. He was actually that side 2 weeks ago.
