Most useless bit of Ali express cycling kit you have purchased.

Having used Ali express for over 12 months anyone who orders from there will tell you sometimes you order some strange equipment from there to bulk up the order for free deliveries.

Personally I have purchased a usb electronic horn that has sat on my handle bars for the last 12 months and never been used.
Not sure why I purchased it as automatically if I see pedistrians crossing I slow down or stop, supposedly loud unless you are less than half a foot a way you cant hear it.

Also reccent purchases include a set of usb lights (cheap) that hold a charge for what seems like five minutes so unlesss your destination is less than a mile away from where you live your lights will go out before you know it.

Massage socks that were supposed to breathable, cool and comfortable for your feet, reality = thin socks with nibbly bits on the bottom when worn were great at over heating your feet during the summer and freezing your feet during the winter.

I use Ali express quite a bit cant complain about most of the products on there, just wondered if anyone else had similar experiences.

I suppose it's the price you pay for cheap gear from China. My partner is addicted to Temu and Shene I think it's called? We've a running joke about her daily Temu parcel.

I do see a lot of cheap cycling gear on these websites but so far I've not been tempted to open the wallet for any of these sites.
