>>1810095umm i was abusing aliexpress coupons, if you have accounts that have previously bought something and not signed in for 2+ months then currently they give you $1/2/3/4/5/6/7 coupons upon signing in at least in my country. also the security checks aren't as strict with existing accounts but you should still be careful like reset your router to get a new IP address and don't make orders too often, preferably outside of california office hours. using paypal and different credit cards, and scrambling your shipping address and phone number can also help. and obviously use incognito mode in your router. so i was looking for things to use on my bike or to resell, at first i looked at basic cables and housing but there must be nicer ones too. i had previously dismissed jagwire elite link as being too expensive or looking too complicated/compromised but i saw those aliexpress listings and figured that i was interested in it for the weight savings and other benefits. RISK makes the best elite link clones i think, and i was already somewhat familiar with the brand having seen their titanium bolts and whatnot. and during my research around cable housing there was this other compressionless housing called aican superlight or w/e mentioned on the weightweenies forum which piqued my interest in slick stainless inner cables and there you have it.
