I've ordered a bunch this year. Some stuff I've gotten that I like:

Carbon bottle cages
Top tube bags
Hand pumps. I ordered 2, one of them worked.. but still significantly cheaper than a brand-name one. Also got a handheld pressure gauge for checking the pressure after pumping on the road
Glasses—Maybe dangerous in a crash.

Some stuff I'm waiting on:

Cycling computer (iGPSport BSC200). Wanted super basic functionality and am expecting it to be crap. Just a bit concerned with the data handling in terms of privacy.
Velocity, cadence, HR sensors. WAY cheaper than from Garmin/Wahoo, we'll see if they work well.

What are your favorites? Or just cheap accessories in general?

Some clothing and TPU tubes. Haven't tried them out yet, but I suspect it will be fine.

On the cycling computer front, I'd like to but I'm not sure if any of them support something like the Garmin Varia radar, which would be one of my motivations for it.
