I see a lot of complaints about the Winspace Agile geo, can someone explain why it's geo is 'weird?' 

It seems like the idea behind it was to make a hyper aggressive body position with a high BB, basically a purpose built crit bike.

Most brands I have M frame, with 174 height I went with L and the frame (i do have T1500, all in all almost same) is perfect for me.
Very snappy feeling, responsive but still very confident on alpine descents.
Geometry is agressive and it is one of the most agressive on the market, but still manageable if you are racing.

Got the same answer about the bracket and position. My frame was not even drilled for the battery mount though. Very poor quality control. Will take some pictures and post when I get home.
I have wrapped up the battery in a sponge for another bike. It expands and holds battery well enough. Hope it solves your problem

Make sure you torque enough & use carbon paste.
If it's a tolerance thing, then consider using a soda can shim, or some fiberglass cloth.
Also consider greasing the thread of the plug, especially if you've sweated on it. The torque shouldn't go into turning the screw, the torque should go into pushing the expander into the seat post.
Afaik, save for crazy exceptions, "all" seatpost slipping is fixable.

Got the replacement seatpost from Yishun. Same story here, 70km ride, it is slipping.
Small piece of sandpaper did not helped. Carbon paste is still there and it is torqued enough.
This issue drives me nuts, otherwise frame is ok ...

Germany, Lake Constance area, so quite far away from Frankfurt.
Interested in the other frame, which could be a real contender to my Winspace T1500

Thanks. I use carbon paste. I have used sandpaper, but not yet tried outside. Bought a threadlocker as the very last option if nothing works. Yishun confirmed the post I have measured is underspec and offered a replacement one. We will see if it works.

Received reply from yishun,frame available in August,900€ with shipping from Germany.
I think that I finally found my next frame

I ordered recently R-086 (aero one from them). Got 820 EUR quoted.
In general, I like geometry and ride feel.
However, the very very big negative for me is the seatpost slipping down. I am pretty much freaked out at any decsent.
Support from Yishun exists, but I am not really sure they can solve an issue.
I will keep you posted if I have luck.

Finished Yishun R086-D build yesterday. First impression from riding indoors is very very good.
Bought 52cm frame directly in Germany for 800 EUR, one of their last 2 (as they said) they sell as single pieces. Afterwards, they go to minium 10 frames order.
I will update the post with pics when I get a chance of better weather to ride outside.

T1500/T1550 I can recommend, very happy after 10k km in a year with it. The build however, comes closer to the original Merida Reacto.
I would go the same route, if you like to choose your own components or have fun building bikes.

Avoid Ican.
I had a problem with it, see the thread:

Dear Leo, if you would be able to provide wider rim, like 29-30mm wide with 21-22 internal width, I am sold.
Right now this is my choice:
https://eu.huntbikewheels.com/collections/road-cx-disc-brake-wheels/products/hunt-44-aerodynamicist-carbon-disc-wheelset
Depth 45-50-55 for different audiences.
With that you can cater "casual racers", "aero gravel racers" or even hill climbers which value some aero advantage.
No old standards even for cheap please.

I bought the frameset used. How to get, which I have? Sorry for the newbie question

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Winspace T1500 saddle clamp
« on: March 05, 2024, 05:38:02 AM »
Does anyone know, will 7x9mm rails (typical for most of carbon saddles) fit ?
Winspace T1500 has side clamp, not top-bottom one.
I am a bit concerned about safety because of possible wrong clamp.

How to get such a price? What I see now, they are around 700 on ali...
I snagged this wheelset for a whooping 444€ including "tax-prepaid" shipping to Germany, in the 50mm variant, 21mm internal, but I asked for no decals.

I am now debating on which tire width to get. I will get a GP5000 non TL (with 19g TPU tubes), but the question is wether to get 25mm vs 28mm.

I have always had 25mm GP5000 tires and they measure about 28mm on my current wheels with 20.5mm internal width.


Has anyone tried GP5000 in 28 mm on these rims? How is the tire-rim interface? I always hear about the comfort (which I don't need probably), but I fear that they would bulge up on the 21mm internal rims and be even wider than the rim, "ruining" the aero benefits...
