Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame

Two washers did not solve the problem completely, but it was a little better. Spcycle compensated for the cost of a new thru axle, but it also does not fit. The axle is not compatible with the washers. The axle is 165 mm and the thread is slightly longer, the wheel is loose.

So you chose Color=Black color, Finish=Matte? Anyone know if that means it still receives a clear protective coat, just no color added so that the carbon can be seen? Or is there no clear coat added if you make that selection?
If you choose matte they will send ud matte, through the coating you will see carbon and it looks very good for me personally. With glossy the same, maybe I'm wrong

I ordered geoid inner tubes. They say they are stronger than butyl, maybe they did some tests

As someone who's coming from a 2012 Cannondale SuperSix 54 cm, and who has racked up some years on that frame (about to turn 43), I'm not totally sure what frame size is ideal in the SL8. Leaning towards a 52, height being 5'10"/178 cm
I have the same height as you and I chose size 54, I wouldn't go smaller. Although Primoz Roglic rides on a frame size 52 and his height is 177 cm. I went to the specialized website and entered my anthropometric data there and according to these data, 54 suited me.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by axle.

Looking at the photos, it seems like a paint defect....have you already reported the problem to Spcycle?

EDIT: Could you measure the diameter of the FD/RD holes for the mechanical group? Thanks

I don't have a caliper at home. I measured with a ruler, I can't say that it is accurate , but these are both holes about 5-6 mm in diameter. I wrote to spcycle and they replied: "Hi Friend, This is not a crack. This is an oversight by the painter. You can install the BB and cranks to test."
I ordered the bottom bracket, but I don't have the cranks to test right now. I think such deep cracks in the paint are not normal.
The photo shows the length of the thru axle that delivered with the frame. It doesn't fit the frame because of the udh hanger design. I have to put two washers and everything works fine. Jonathan, what was the length of your rear thru axle?

I recently received the frame. I liked the ud matte, it looks better than in the photos. Unfortunately, the axle from the kit is too long and does not fit. The design of the udh holder does not allow the use of longer axles. The axle is 167.5 mm. Spcycle agreed to compensate for the costs of a new 165 mm axle.
Near bb i noticed something like cracks. What do you think about it? Maybe it is a paint defect

some people should buy the complete branded bike and not look at these Chinese frames.

At the moment, you can buy a Bianchi Sprint in our country's stores for $3,200-3,500. Weight 9 kg with pedals, mechanical 105. Maybe this will suit someone, I don't know. I think it's just a shame for such a price

This is UD matt, not matt black.

I already understood. But I think it's better to write ud matte in the product card, and not just matte like you have, and post more real photos so that the person can see what he's buying

I recently received a photo from spcycle. The weight of the painted frame with bolts and and without rear hanger is 818 grams, size 54. The paint really does not look very high quality, perhaps it is because of the light. I am a little disappointed in this regard. But I am glad that the frame is very light.

Today I ordered this frame in matte color for 520 usd. They wrote that it will be sent on January 18, probably it will come to me next month.

By the way, I never feel the difference between "stiff" and "soft" frames. I rode for a long time on a fake pinarrelo dogma and ride on the original Scott Foil and I did not notice any difference. Although everyone said that the difference is very noticeable. I don't understand how you feel it?

Did you have any problems while setting up the electronic shifters? Some people talked about the problem of poor moisture protection in er9, maybe it has been fixed now, what do you think?

Hi Jonathan. Very nice build. Do you think you really can get around 6kg on the ltwoo groupset? I know the ltwoo weighs about the same as the 105 Shimano. What is your height and inseam?
I'm 178 cm and I'm thinking what size to buy
