Re: Seka Exceed
a common compliant with the Seka is that the cockpit drops aren't stiff enough relative to the tops. The Farsports F1 also suffers from this flexy drops problem. I'm gonna mention this in my upcoming Elite Drive 65D wheel review, but despite Elite Drive wheels being lighter than my Winspace Hyper wheels...they certainly are not as stiff. Although the Elite wheels are more "comfortable". Maybe is the choice of hubs who knows... This is just like my VB-177 "super" lightweight frame isn't as stiff as my heavier Winspace T1500 aero frame. I'm obviously not an engineer or a carbon manufacturer but is seems to me that lighter doesn't typically mean stiffer. Even the SWorks Aethos has reports (locally here) of being flexy.

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry
I'm new here and wanted to ask if there are frames from Yishun, Velobuild, etc. that are comparable to the Canyon Ultimate CF SL or the new Canyon Endurace CFR? Hey, just a heads up: the ultimate and Endurace have a vastly different geometry... you probably should not mention them in the same sentence  From the back of my head, the Velobuild 066 (old external and new interally routed Version) is inspired by the Canyon Endurace, geometry-wise and look-wise. But i didn't compare the geometry charts. https://www.velobuild.com/products/2023-vb-r-066-carbon-fiber-endurance-road-racing-bike-frame-disc-version Based on your height and inseam, i wouldnt say your dimensions are that difficult to work with - no super long or short legs. Best is to compare the frame geometrys of your existing bike, e.g via bike-insights. September 22, 2023, 09:21:03 PM |

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry
It's like joegal said. Use BikeInsights to compare bikes https://bikeinsights.com/compare If you already have a bike, find the bike model in BikeInsights and compare it to other frames that interest you. If you don't have any, I suggest for you go to a local bike dealer and let them help you find your size. Remember the model and the size and find it in BikeInsights. September 23, 2023, 12:55:44 AM |

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry
What about that frame: The 068 looks like it could match your needs. https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=64e1237c909fa3001af0d10d,64f1dcc50f4eac001a44ba89, Compared to the endurace in size M, its a bit longer and lower, so a bit more racey, but its not a full-on race position. However, its hard to recommend a Bike fit based on measurements, it also depends on your flexibility ans preferences. I'd recommend to compare with your gravel bike and see if you could tolerate going longer/lower or if you need a relaxed position. Greetings from Germany! i hope you got a great deal on your Votec, so it doesnt hurt that you bought the wrong size!  September 23, 2023, 05:54:15 AM |

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry
I just bought one to replace my endurance cf 7. I wanted something a bit stiffer and a little more racey, but not too low due to my dimensions. 068 seemed to be a good match. September 23, 2023, 11:05:40 AM |

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry
I think the Velobuild VB-R-066 is an Endurace copy cat. Probably Velobuild's least aggressive bike.
