Re: Speeder SC-R52D
What was the price for the Speeder SC-R52D plus shipping?745$ frame, 30$ the headset, Thru Axles 20$ (did not order these as I want lighter ones, these are okish @84gr set but I can go below 60gr for little more). Shipping 120$ BTW, so far Speeder were fast and even after ordering, I am sending questions about the axles and they answered very promptly and accurate. i hope it stays like this.

Re: 2nd bike considerations
Consider the Velobuild CX-02. It seems it has a roadbike geometry, aero features and with wider tire clearance. I am still considering it as second bike, but I have an indestructible Giant TCX I love… http://www.velobuild.com/products/velobuild-2023-new-cx-002-carbon-fiber-cyclocross-frame-full-inner-routing December 31, 2022, 03:59:02 PM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
Amazing marble effect with just clear coat. If I could go back in time I would order that instead black glossy paint, and save also some gramms. I would like to see it under the sun, it mus look amazing, nice stuff. So mine looks as attached. Paint quality is good but i will add in the next post some flaws in taping and finishing. Weights: Frame (size 485) with hanger and bolts: 1035gr. Fork: 394gr. Handlebar 370/95: 394gr. Seatpost: 176gr. January 08, 2023, 04:09:13 AM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
Inside part of the fork, where the thru axel seats, unpainted. Where the break seats is also not really perfect, I will sand a bit. BB not really nice either. Headseat and seatpost fine. January 08, 2023, 04:17:22 AM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
I was playing a bit with the top cap and this aluminium top cap from Aliexpress looks neater than the provided one IMO (and save 11gr.), just in case it is interesting for someone. One question for NLD or other members with integrated cabing: I have no experience with the FSA nr55r headset. Is normal this space between last spacer and frame as in the first pic? It looks like half a mm too much. I think I mounted it right, will check later more in detail. January 13, 2023, 09:48:00 AM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
Similar here, we might live close by. A couple of rides outdoors and many on the turbo trainer. Weather has been extra cold and if not super cold, miserable. One ride was on -4degrees, icy and not so fun, today windy and rainy but could enjoy the ride. Regarding the frame, all good for the building, no issues with brakes alignment or bb. My only complaints: - I was expecting 100gr less on the frame weight. Still the whole bike is 7,150gr with pedals. - Regarding internal cabling easy to do, but I find a bit anoying how easy the bike turns the handlebar to left or right while pushing it while walking or raising it. Not having cables makes it too easy to spin the handlebar. Riding it is perfect. Pleasant bike. i am happy. No flex etc detected, bike feels normal stiff, but I am running tubeless tires at lower pressures so I assume this filters a bit all the road feeling as to point any difference with my previous bike (I am coming from a rim break Scott addict) Aero claims I cannot do, just by the looks, it has to be more efficient. I did a few pics today. February 05, 2023, 03:25:23 PM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
has anyone tried 30mm wheels on the R52D? do they fit?I did try on 28mm tires on 21mm internal width wheels. Fork no problem and rear, I have 4mm aprox on each side, so yes for road should be fine, but a tight fit. Check the pictures yourself. 1st pic fork (25mm Schwalbe Pro Tubeless) 2nd pic on the rear (same tire but on 28mm) Cheers! April 22, 2023, 04:01:14 PM |

Re: Speeder SC-R52D
this is the 52D, right? https://www.parapera-bikes.de/our-bikes/atmos%C2%B2-gravelbike guess thats the reason why its not available in germany anymore Good catch.Parapera Atmos2. Seems the same I would say but did you check the geometry table? The geometry is a bit different. I think it is an slightly modified version to fit 34mm tires. In my Speeder 52D 30mm yes, but 34mm I dont think so… Interesting in any case… April 24, 2023, 06:57:50 AM |
