Re: So excited - airwolf yfr066 Did you receive the 066? Been looking at the pulling the trigger on that frame, wondering if you have any comments or a review about your experience with it and Airwolf.

Endurance Frame recommendations - Airwolf YFR066 or spend more money I'm looking at getting an endurance frame as a relaxed road upgrade from my gravel bike and have been eyeing the YFR066 by Airwolf. https://airwolfcarbonbike.com/product/yfr066-airwolf-carbon-bike-frame-700c-disc-brake-road-carbon-bicycle-frame-roadbike-frame-carbon-road-disc/

Any reviews on this brand or recommendations for another frame, before I pull the trigger on 11.11 deals?
Frame is about $600, but I am willing to spend $750, if that amount will be enough to get me better quality.

Any help here is appreciated!
Note, I plan on purchasing on the di2 groupset from Merlin or aliexpress and already purchased a yuanan wheelset from Leon, who posts here.

I didn’t get the integrated handlebar! Since I wanted to have more adjustability.

Oh that’s a great deal! Tried to get that deal myself AliExpress auto cancelled all my orders for security reasons and when I contacted support they said it was because I used an invalid coupon and I had to remove it, but all I used was the coupon from the homepage that it auto applied. Their customer support is pretty useless and told me to retry, which I did 5 times. A bit bummed out. But happy someone got that killer deal. Hopefully they fix the problem, so I can order before the deal is gone.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Super excited to see this build. I also ordered the YFR066 (though I chose painted w/ integrated cockpit) during 11.11 sale for ~$515 inc taxes. Can't wait for your updates.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Also waiting on my YFR066 from the 11/11 sale (albeit my order was on 11/13 due aliexpress issues). Its marked as shipped on 12/06 but no tracking code. Nice to see theres a community of us waiting on airwolf lol.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Should I snag a FSA headset preemptively for my 066 build?

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I did get the integrated handlebar, guess we will see if I need it! Did you get any grommets for the cable exits or should I order some? Trying to make sure I have all the causes of possible noises taken care of, as well as better waterproofing since I’m in Seattle. Also, my order is finally in the states but it’s been sitting in LA customs for a couple days. Hope it shows up soon.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Just received my bike, had 30 minutes so decided to checkout the headset and the one it comes with is absolutely shit. It's plastic and the spacers are cheap plastic too and fairly poorly manufactured where they don't sit perfectly on each other. The photo from the site makes them look like they're not plastic, but these are quiet crappy.

That's really disappointing, do you think you'll have to try out a different headset/fork? Or will you be able to make it work?

I did my first ride on Thursday around the neighborhood, and other than tightening a few bolts everything worked okay. I need to work on fit some more, my Velofit seemed to put the seat too far down and with my 165mm cranks it just felt like my legs were "compressed" and I couldn't really get much power out. I did notice that if I brake hard, the fork does "chatter" some front/back, but I haven't ever had a disc road bike so that may be normal?

Overall, I really like the Ultegra mechanical groupset, shifting has been reliable and smooth even with the internal cable routing.

Your bike looks great, so at least you have that going for you!

For the fork and integrated handlebars, I have it lined up with only 2 spacers and it looks a little better with some pressure applied. Plan on finishing the build enough this week to ride it a little, hoping the 2 spacers are enough or that I can even remove one for my fit, then I'll cut the fork and brakes lines down and finish it up.

So far I've routed the brake lines and the di2 cables and battery, which was easy. Installed levers, bottom bracket, crank, crankset, brakes, etc. All of that has been easy and quality has been good on those tolerances on the frame. Synced the di2. Just need to throw on the wheelset and bleed the brakes so I can play with the headset spacers.

Cool! I've been following this thread with the greatest interest, as that bike is pretty much all in my Aliexpress cart (airwolf frame, Magene power meter, Elite wheels)
I even put that same saddle on my Triban today

All in all, as of today, would you advise to buy or to look for something else?

Will let you know my report on it soon, but probably would have been happier spending $200 more for something with higher quality.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Finally got my first short ride in with the bike fully assembled (Seattle and the rainy weather bleh). Bike is very agile, frame is not totally noodley for me, but could be stiffer. If I were to do it again, still would consider throwing a couple hundred more on a different frame.

Anyways thought I'd drop a photo to share the complete build. Happy with the Di2 105 drivetrain too!

Total weight clocked in at 8.1kg including pedals, tires, tape, water bottle cages... everything you see here minus the water bottle itself. Not bad!
