Re: Picking frame for "race commuter"
Yishunbikes G095D Speed Gravel might a solid candidate. I don't have any personal experiences with that frame, just eyeing it for a while. But I've only heard good things about Yishunbike. We have a topic on that frame here: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4283.0.html The manufacturer site for the frame: https://www.yishunbike.com/product/g095dspeed-gravel/ My next speedy all-weather commuter bike with convenience items like fenders and proper lights will probably be a Workswell WCB-R-358. It has some nice details, like the fender boss at the top inside of the fork arch. Unfortunately it's a bit heavy. A 54 frame is 1200g, fork 490g, seatpost 180g. With a nice set of fenders weighting 500g, I'm not sure if 150g extra really makes a difference though. https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4060.0.html https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4138.0.html https://www.workswellbikes.com/gravel/wcb-r-358.html July 25, 2023, 04:20:34 PM |

Re: TT-X21 topcap broken - TanTan does not have replacements
I don't have a source for a replacement top cap. I could probably model and print you one though, if you are located somewhere sending a package from Germany to is not outrageously expensive. You wouldn't be able to preload the steerer with it - you would have to use a normal round cap for that - but it should look pretty decent. Is my assumption correct that the only thing broken is the chamfer interfacing with the screw? August 22, 2023, 10:36:18 AM |

Re: True CX frame (not gravel)
Didn't someone on here recently buy direct from Yishun?Yes. It's really not that much of an issue anymore. They even have a warehouse in Germany. At least as long as you are fine with the base carbon-black frame. You won't get any one-off customizing (like individual paintjobs) from them. You have to buy in quantity for that.

Re: Road/All-Road frame with BB92
Chainline issues aside - the axle of a road crank has a good chance of just physically being too short to fit. I've never actually measured it down to the mm, but I believe my SRAM Red crank has an axle length of <90mm - it would not fit in a 92mm wide BB. October 01, 2023, 04:55:36 PM |
