aliexpress forks - yay or nay?

[foz]

So I have some forks on the way... Not AliExpress, but good condition, full carbon steerer, and importantly it's long enough! Might even have to cut it down! Most used forks I see for sale are too short.

ok, so it turns out some people don't know how to measure steerer tubes, and instead of being 28cm, it's barely 18.... so, a very nice mizuno full carbon fork (except dropouts), no use as it's at least 7cm too short
Amazon actually sell a couple of models, not directly but via other vendors, so those are looking likely options now. At least with amazon there is customer service and a returns option

Yes. Missed the deadline for sending them back too, so will have to sell them on. Very nice set of forks, full carbon 1" steerer, just too short for me

There's no deadline for returns of items that aren't as described.

If the ad was incorrect, the sale agreement is invalid.

There is on this sale platform. I had opened the case, all resolved and there were 10 days to send it back. But we've had a bit of flooding, there are no post offices or courier services and roads are closed. I might be able to sort it somehow, but to be honest I can't be bothered with the hassle of that.
