[Closed] TOSEEK carbon on Aliexpress

I used some Toseek forks bought on eBay, worked fine, seemed light, well finished etc etc....    As much as I like Chinese carbon parts, perhaps if it was for my son/daughter I might be tempted to spend a bit more to get something from a “known” manufacturer (R&D, testing etc).

Flip side being that a 7 year old weighs chuff all.

I'm a big advocate of Chinese carbon (3 frames, 3 sets of wheels), yet I twitch at the idea of handlebars for some reason. There are some very real horror stories about them being very shonky (as opposed to rubbish scaremongering that accompanies many parts) - I recall Cynic-Al had a pair he snapped in his hands.

i bought 2 Toseek seatposts from ebay. It was a uk seller and they were about £13 each. Both have been ace on our gravel bikes. They came branded and boxed and were great.

I think this stuff is more honest than a crap copy of a brand. Jusy my opinion and experience.

Been running a Tooseek carbon fork since the spring on my gravel bike - it's lighter and stiffer than the 'branded' fork it replaced that cost 3x more.

Running toseek bars on my Gravel bike and seatpost 🙂 all good

bump on this - struggling to find any straight steerer/QR/disc carbon forks from a reputable brand - any horror stories from these guys?

Exotic forks.

I asked a similar question before christmas, in the end I bought their ally forks, just on cost, as I wanted to keep the price as low as possible (£75 iirc). They are pretty good IMO. Well finished, arrived in 2 days. The carbon ones were £30ish more than the stuff from China, but it comes from the UK in 2 days, so that swung it for me -I could have bought carbon from china for slightly cheaper than ally from the uk, but having waited months for stuff, and rubbish, to arrive from China, Id rather pay the extra to get it, and know it;ll be good when it arrives.

I've got a Toseek riser bar on my hardtail. Well finished and holding up to off road rough and tumble.

Bought two pairs of road bars from toseek and one from hylix.

I could snap them all with my hands without much effort. They went back.

Thanks but no thanks.

You could or you did?

I tried but couldn't snap my TOSEEK mtb bars with my hands before fitting them. I also stood on them and hung off them after I'd fitted them. YMMV though- that's the issue, and @continuity may well have snapped his road bars. Recently I am not convinced TOSEEK are the original manufacturer either- perhaps they source mtb bars and road bars from different factories. I read even Hongfu just own shares in the factory.

I’ve got some Ali bars you can have. Sunn ones I cut down. Might have a short stem as well.
Both were for kids bike builds.
