Re: Yishun R1088-D Aero Road
Where sizing is concerned if you have an existing bike that fits you, use a bike geometry site like https://geometrygeeks.bike/ to match your existing bike to the proposed new bike. Yishun can also provide you with a sizing guide, hence email and request it This is the url for the 1088 on geometry geeks https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/yishun-r1088-d-corrected-geometry-2023/

Re: First Road Bike Build
Here are some tools you may need: 1. Bottom bracket press - to push the bottom bracket into your frame https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256805253619890.html Note: The page for the Yishun R1088-D frame won't load for me so I don't know what kind of bottom bracket it needs (press-fit bottom brackets will need a press while threaded bottom brackets require a different kind of tool) 2. Hydraulic hose tool(s) - to cut your brake hose to length and drive the needle into the hose - you can buy these separately but the following is a two-in-one version https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256804179664403.html 3. Bleed kit - to make sure you have enough hydraulic fluid in your brake hose and get rid of any annoying air bubbles https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256805944912699.html 4. Fork saw guide - for when it comes time to cut your fork steerer to length https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256805470482835.html Please consider these links as reference points rather than outright recommendations; if you're hunting for bargains I'm sure you'll be able to find similar products for less money if you search long enough. Good luck with your build - ask away as there's lots to consider. November 06, 2023, 01:54:21 PM |

Re: First Road Bike Build
Consider the Ultegra BB instead. Dura Ace uses slightly different bearings that arent sealed as well. So you get less drag, but at the cost of some durability. The thread together BBs can be great, but you need to have a good fit and I personally think they are worth it only if the bearings are replaceable a few times. From the reviews on this site, it looks like that can be done with the ZTTO, but also that the bearings themselves are not good. Given that, I would start with something like a wheels mfg BB that is known to be well made and uses good bearings to start if you felt like you needed a thread together.

Re: First Road Bike Build
I'm curious about your opinion and recommendations on Press-Fit vs Thread-Together BB86 bottom bracket shells and especially these two in particular: The thread together ZTTO BBs I tried were great; however, for that price, don't expect to get quality bearings. You can replace the bearings with better ones. However, one hard issue, especially in the DUB world, is finding replacement plastic sleeves if you crush them. I'm a tinkerer, so it's fine for me, but if you're not, I would recommend the Shimano one. If installed correctly with a compound to help it adhere to the frame, it should be reliable for many thousands of kilometers/miles. December 08, 2023, 10:53:34 AM |

Re: First Road Bike Build
I'm curious about your opinion and recommendations on Press-Fit vs Thread-Together BB86 bottom bracket shells and especially these two in particular: I have both a ZTTO thread together PF BB86 on one of my road bikes and a Shimano Ultegra PF BB on my gravel bike. I actually prefer the Shimano PF BB, but I have an alloy sleeve built into my gravel bike that insures a proper fit. The ZTTO threaded PF BB doesn't have the best bearings, but there's a thread on here where people have replaced them for better quality ones. December 08, 2023, 12:50:10 PM |

Re: First Road Bike Build
I have been using the Ultegra press fit BB and the another kind of threaded press fit and the difference in longevity has been enormous. With the Ultegra BB the bearings failed after one year and a half with I have been using since then I installed that type on all my bikes (one gravel lightcarbon and my road bike Orro Venturi) and they never failed in 3 years. But to be honest the brand that I use is Token and not the AliExpress version. December 09, 2023, 11:45:52 AM |

Re: Yishun R1088-D Aero Road
I just got the frame delivered. Here are few pictures. I wonder if the cable hole in the fork(last picture) is normal this way or if I should contact Yishun about it. It isn’t smooth at all but I’m unsure if that’s expected with Chinese brands. Contact them regarding that one. They are responsive on issues like that and would also gladly help you on how to fix it December 11, 2023, 07:22:08 PM |

Re: First Road Bike Build
I have the thread together BB386 version of Token Ninja and its been fantastic. It went on my Velobuild GF002. I spent $55 USD on it back then and have put close to 6000 miles/10k km on it and no creaks, nothing. It is worth the price and still half the cost of Wheels Manufacturing bottom bracket which I have on my latest build. When compared side by side there is absolutely no difference between two. If I had to do it again I will get the Token Ninja - it also comes with very handy (and sturdy) BB removal/installation tool that Wheels Manufacturing doesn't include.

Re: First Road Bike Build
Hey guys. I’m curious what is your view on expanders/compression plugs. Yishun provided one(see picture), but I’m unsure if it’s any good or enough, if I want to use spacers. What would you suggest? Doesn't matter if you want to use spacers, they do not add pressure to the steerer tube, so they don't have to be countered by expander. Expander is used to prevent the stem from crushing the steerer tube. Unless you plan to put expanders above the stem of course, but I don't think it serves any real purpose February 24, 2024, 11:04:27 AM |

Re: Yishun R1088-D Aero Road
That looks normal. The fork has an integrated crown race.
