Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Winspace C5 Aero

I have the C5 and love it. I am definitely getting this one if Bitcoin pumps soon. The geo of the model fits me like a glove, I will however get an extra 10mm in the stem length next time.
How has your current C5 compared to previous bikes? Its “Endurance” but I think the bike seems more racey than they market it as

Not interested in doxxing myself

That’s what I thought… You always come in with all these hot takes on every post because you can hide your identity.

Not all of us need more stack to maintan aero positions. Most modern bikes are way too relaxed for me.
Whats your strava?

What bar “stem” length did you go with?

The stack is the same at my XL (550) size T1550, but the reach is a bit less. I think this is probably the frame geometry most of us would actually enjoy.

Quite frankly I have nothing negative to report or criticize. Easily the lightest and best set of wheels I've used from a value perspective. Mother nature gave me one single day today above freezing, and I was able to get in a 3 hour ride Z2 ride with some intervals mixed in.

GP5000 STR 32c. Running actual tubeless to avoid another audience upheaval on my YouTube. Tires measure 34mm at the rim. 55 PSI

Video drops next week.
Please test them with TPU tubes as well, so you can compare to everything else you have ridden!

You can definitely get it down to 7kg.  My full build with bar tape, pedals, bottle cages, front and rear computer mounts comes in 16lb/7.2kg.
Could you post pictures?

Funny how you've gone on a political rant in the space you've literally called non political. Seems like typical confused democrat hypocrisy.

Is roasting by comparing you to vegans a political rant?

I used to use a speed sensor but DCrainmaker had a great article basically proving that GPS accuracy just as good as a sensor so I took it off my bike to save a few grams.

Yes, but speeder goes direct to customer, and they sell a lot of frames from adapt.
Pricing i got in september (shipping to EU):
SC-R49D frame + fork + seatpost: US€609.76 ($640)/set
SC-RH02 handlebar / stem: US€142.91 ($150)/pcs
Thru axles: US€19.05 ($20)/set
NO.55R headset: US€28.58 ($30)/set
50mm rims + Powerway CT43 hubs + Pillar PSR AERO 1423 spokes: US€371.57 ($390)/set
SC-BC03 bottle cages: US€11.43 ($12)/pcs
Shipping cost for frameset: US€114.33 ($120) (tax-free)
Shipping cost for wheelset: US€85.75 ($90) (tax-free)

I also asked if they have any association to Tavelo or Adapt but he just ignored these questions and gave me these prices

(prices are USD but a chrome extension placed Euros next to it)
Tavelo and Adapt are the same company confirmed by Panda Podium on lastest NERO show

Was thinking about that, but tire is offset with regards to seatpost as well.
You really need to put it on a trueing stand and measure it. The bike is not a reliable measurement.

Thanks! I took your advice and ended up ordering a Shimano 105 11-speed groupset.

Now I’m a bit confused thought since there seem to be HG bodies and HG road bodies?
Is that so? Will the HG body from Peter work for 11-speed Shimano?

I feel I’ve biked long enough to know this stuff but oh well   :-[

Yes it will

« on: November 22, 2024, 06:15:48 AM »
Well yes, I hope it will land around 7.6-7.8 with pedals. I will for now use MTB xtr ones that are around 80g heavier than SPD SL counterpart. With my lighter rotors and cassette, and cranks (580g) group set will be lighter than stock Ultegra. But now I just want to build it, and waiting is one thing I hate really bad. And alloy nipples
Why the hate of aluminum nips?

Bro stop shilling your blog everywhere. Your tests sucks and you are basically only one on the whole internet who thinks edges are soft. Maybe get a better bike and some good tires for your tests

Easy now kubackje. Peters articles opened the idea of Chinese bikes to me, with his build reports I read years ago. Dont insult, but let Peter know who he could improve his test. I doubt you have read “the whole internet” to know that he is the only one with that opinion, so be more kind!
