Re: Anybody see a big drop in comfort going from a round tube frame to an aero one? I honestly Haven’t noticed a big difference between my triban rc520 round tube Alu bike compared to the canyon aeroad.
Guess I’m not too sensitive about things like that.
I noticed the difference in efficiency however.

Re: 2022 Cervelo S5 Do you think it’s a good idea to get a frame with proprietary parts from a seller that probably infringes patents?

So your issue is more around proprietary parts rather than the patent infringment?
The more a brand invests time and money to establish a reputation the more I’m fine with proprietary parts.
Regarsing patents - personally I wouldn’t ride the velobuild 218 or frames in general with unique designs. The 168 and sl7 for me isn’t that much of an issue because it doesnt look too different to many other road bike frames (at least from a glance…)
But that’s just me  of course , i think everyone can do whatever they want with the money.

Re: Speeder SC-R48 I’ll get my disc brake version sometime in the near future. Cannot tell, it’s on its way.
Will post pictures if i have it.

I have prepared more or less everything except frame plugs because I don’t know if I’ll be needing those….

Justin hasn't responded to my inquiries for couple of days now. I assume this is because of the Chinesse New Year holiday.

I did notice that the SC-R48 geometry is just slightly different than Winspace SLC 2.0 geometry. Has anyone confirmed whether Speeder makes this frames for Winspace or is Speeder just copying Winspace's frame?

I am making my decision based on high quality of Winspace frames as reviewed by Hambini. So if SC-R48 is not the SLC 2.0 then that may change my decision.
I can’t give you more info about this.
But the 48d also has a different fork than the SLC 2.0.
I also think  the pictures in this thread will be the first „independent“ ones of the 48d.
Trilobites is probably the first to arrive, mine is still waiting for flight.

Re: Speeder SC-R48 Justin said it was fine. The Fork utilizes a carbon crown. I’ve since seen this on other bikes too..

I built it up this weekend. It wasn’t easy, but it was also my first time building one up from scratch.
At first I went in the frame with a camera but quickly realized I have no idea what I’m looking for so I just started. I was actually surprised how smooth the BB went in, I expected noises. Again, probably because I am used to BSA. Frame looked faultless , a bit a lacquer at the brakes but besides that I did not notice anything else.

Ended up at 7.75 kg with pedals, full 105, size 49.
Had some creaking from the seat post, tried to torque it to 5 NM or something like that (the clamp says 6NM) heard a crack. Well anyway, reapplied carbon paste and clamped it again. Haven’t heard the creaking afterwards (only a short ride).

During the ride I sometimes heard rattling , not sure if it’s from the di2 cable zip ties I installed that serve no purpose or if it was the cover plate on the downtube that was loose all of a sudden.

So the thing that is left for me now is:
How should I check if that crack is an issue? I don’t really see anything unusual.  I’m not sure if it really was the seat post because that thing is massive. I couldn’t even fit the di2 battery with the pro battery holder because the walls are so thick.
I’m also a bit unsure about the FSA COMPRESSOR they’ve supplied.
