Re: Yishunbike R1058-D Hello,

What's your height in CM? I do plan to order Yishun 1088-D. Other choices are R086D and LightCarbon LCR0XD. I am planning to rule out R086D because it's very aggressive and my body might not like it even if i go to a bikefitter but I want to know more information about 1088-D before ordering because I am also confused on their sizing. Closest to the geometry that my current bike has is size 560 (which has CF of 530) so I am really confused right now lol.

BTW I asked if their frame 1058-D is available but here's the response from Melinda

"Dear friend,
Pity that R1058D size 54cm is still not available.

The mold has a small problem, we are now still repairing it in order for smooth production running.

Best regards,
Melinda"

Re: Yishunbike R1058-D Thanks for the response!

So base on the geometry sizing, you ordered Size 530 right?

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road Pulled the trigger and went to buy this frame. Wish me luck that I can still climb the hills like with my current bike which is an aluminum merida scultura rim brake.

Planning to have LTwoo ER9 as the drivetrain and brakeset, my trusted Shimano 105 as cranks and an 11-32 cogs. I am also planning to buy some 50mm deep ProX wheelset.

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
@ Dark17  Yeah the ratchet system read pretty much like my Yoelero Sat DB wheels which are about double that price, same spokes look

Yeah, and the price is just USD409/pair like WTF? I am thinking about if these are quality wheels with that price point but they are also Lightcarbon so quality is supposed to be really good.

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
@Dark17 what size frame did you get? What's your height, and inseam? Ended up getting the size 500 to match a 54 *medium ) tarmac sl7/ Velobuild VBR 168 geometry 520 was also an option but I did not want something with a higher stack

I went with size 540 since the stack is the closest to my current bike which is an s/m Merida Scultura 200. I also took into consideration on what my fitter said that my current bike is too small for me and we slapped a 120mm stem and zero offset seatpost to get into right fit. My height is 176cm with 83cm inseam.

BTW I am attaching a very low quality image of the frameset. I am still deciding for a groupset if I will go with ER9 or just a mechanical Ultegra.

Size of my handlebar is 420/100. I really wanted a 400/100 but it was out of stock even the separate handlebar/stem.

I am no expert on quality checking, but my untrained eyes saw that the frame is built well. Bottom Bracket is pretty well built and the headset went in pretty quick.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
for your information.

I ordered this morning the super-light version  :D
and I'm really looking forward to it.

So far, I am very impressed with my contact: Wendy.
Very very fast. Very professional and attentive. and she seems to have a clue.
Also with my desired paint job, it was much easier and faster than with ICAN.

I was pestered with questions and had exact ideas about the design and was very precise... and everything was answered quickly, friendly and well.

Good for you man! I really love the design of the frame but Gavin was not able to reply to me immediately and I just bought Yishun's R086D. Told him that I am willing to wait for months for the LCR017D.

Give us your impressions and review when you get it!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Hey man, be happy, you have a legit amazing frame from what I can gather. Don't sweat it.

I really wanted an LCR017D or R1058D since it's not as aggressive as R086D. I even ordered a 100mm integrated bar stem combo and planning to use all spacers just to alleviate the aggressiveness of the frame. Tho I haven't tested the frame yet as I am still choosing a groupset and wheelset so it might take awhile. (next month would be the earliest as I still need to prioritize our upcoming baby! :) )

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road No ride experience yet. LTwoo ER9 is on the way and I am yet to buy some wheels. I am picking which of LightCarbon's Undulating rims with upgraded Sapim CX-Ray spokes (downgraded hubs to 4 pawls + steel bearings because I don't want ceramic) or Yishun's 206DB-RBD50C.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame Sometimes they are increasing the price and getting ready for a "sale". I also saw the Magene Ultra Wheelset's price at $2000 but then it came back to $1200 or something.

I always deal with that kind of practice because we have a local Aliexpress on our country which is called Lazada (which is a subsidiary of Alibaba)

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
@Sebastian yep for about 12.00 on amazon. For my 500 frameset, its not an issue (yes there is a bit of frame rub when you put it in and take it out) and I have a size 500 frame and a 24 oz bottle. Actually find it easier to take it in an out than my other frames (less of a struggle reaching for the cage). In the future will look at getting some aero bottle and cages. Reading from some studies that the regular cages and bottles can cause you to lose as much at 10 watts

A criticism I have of yishun is they need to be more detailed with the torque for the various bolts (only a few components included a torque label). I see Elves has it listed on their website. Yishun should do same or include a paper with the frameset stating this info. Note: Had issues with my seat-post dropping even though I set it to the max (note i am 68kg) stated on the component of 8nm (pot holes). They suggested I go 10 and it worked. Also had to use medium strength thread-locker on the stem and handlebar bolts (pot holes) in order to keep them from loosening

I emailed Melinda and asked for Torque specifications of the frame. Will post here as soon as i get a response. I am also in the middle of building the frame as I already have my wheelset which is Yishun's 206db-RSL50c
