    Just ordered a Raccmer winter jersey there, partly because I was cold out on a spin yesterday, partly to save a good thread from a guy who ruined it because he likes gimps. Will update it when it arrives with sizing etc.

    Got my order today! Very impressed with the jersey got a Medium as I'm generally a small, nice and warm!

    The fingerless gloves and really good too just slide on no strapping!

    The winter bib shorts I'm not so sure about the look, very shiny looking black material when on. But very warm and supportive. I got a Large and it fits grand ( 5ft10 and 69kg ).

    Overall impressed for the €€

    Took the full processing time 7 days maybe?! Then arrived fairly quickly once it shipped.

    Found out why.....they changed the sizing of the jersey I ordered. They messaged me directly to confirm the size

    Raccmer Official Store seem to have had huge price increases (more or less double) over the last few days


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,481 ✭✭✭Fighting Tao


    Ive noticed this with other stores over the last few years in the run up to the 11.11 sale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 167 ✭✭Torres09


    Got it from the Raccmer Official Store on AliExpress

    Got nice delivery today....Long Sleeve Fleece Jersey (my 2nd one now), Gilet, Rain Jacket & Shorts


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 checky88


    Was thinking of getting the long sleeve one any pics? Noticed a price increase alright tho


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,834 ✭✭✭statto25


    I'm sorry I didnt buy more now that the prices have gone up. I might chance the Cheji stuff if the Raccamer fits well


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭Newtown90


    Racmmers "half price" sale back on now again so back to normal prices from what I can see.

    Would they be any better than the winter jersey that aldi have this week?.
    Was going to purchase them myself but only bought the raccamer bib shorts until i check out the aldi jersey


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 checky88


    Went for bib shorts + long bib and a winter Jersey myself & a multi tool I'll post up pics when I get them


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,834 ✭✭✭statto25

    if you really want it you can extend the processing time yourself for a few more days

    Just looked at my recent delivery... Ordered 29/08/17 Despatched 07/09/17 Delivered 25/09/17

    Long delivery times are a pain but worth it imo

    Ya I'm going to do that as I'm interested in trying them for size. I know the pitfalls of ordering from China so I shouldn't be complaining.

    .

    No idea. But the design certainly looks better to me :D

    Anyone get any soft shell jackets off Ali?

    Purchased a few pieces a couple of months ago and no complaints. Can't complain about the quality for the money and comfortable on, took about a month from order to delivery which is the only downside really. Normally a size large so went XL although the Cheji jersey is really snug so could afford to go 2 sizes up (think I'll work my way down to that one), herself would normally be a size 8/10 and the medium Cheji would also be a snug fit on Miss ALM.

    Got these - here, here, here and https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xinzechen-Men-s-Cycling-Shorts-Breathable-Mesh-MTB-Bicycle-Bib-Shorts-4D-Gel-Padded-Mountain-Road/32824020541.html.

    Looking at a few pieces now for the cooler months ahead.

    Excellent prices compared to my local high street prices, as they say, it pays to shop around!

    I bought this light for the bike, it was delivered in 3 weeks or so and I have only taken it out once and on one charge, in flashing mode, it was still blinking after 5 hours.

    It's alright for €2 :)
    I just got this one too (rear light) - using it as the main light on my commuter. Build quality feels a bit flimsy (USB connection etc). but the light itself is great, especially the uneven flashing mode for morning, late afternoon this time of year when it's getting darker. We'll see how long it lasts

    Any recommendations for brake/gear cables and housing from Aliexpress? I want to buy in bulk but it is hard to figure out what kind of quality you will receive.

    Hard to see this price being beaten.
