Yishun R086-D Aero Road

Sweet! But...Tried to buy one yesterday. 48cm and 50cm both out of stock. MOQ is 30 sets, so they couldn't give me a timeline. They were also out of the handlebar I wanted for the build (380x90 but have 380x100 and 400x90). And now, because of your post, I'm even more depressed

Dude that sucks. Please keep us informed. I had plans to buy a backup.

I don't understand Yishun's logic here...

You probably gave them all the B2C they could handle LOL

Maybe consider their other frames? I wouldn't order this frame unless you're absolutely sure the long reach is what you need (meaning: get a bike fit first). I built one up for a friend, and while it's a great frame, there is no way it can fit my body. There is no such thing as a geometry that fits all riders, so measure twice, or you'll have to buy twice

Regarding the MOQ: I don't think there's a MOQ for this frame (I bought a single frameset), but they probably mean they can't spin up a production run just for a single frame, so you're waiting for one of their OEM clients to order a new batch of frames first.

By the way, @patliean1, it seems they've updated the geometry--stats on the website now are different from what you show in your video. I think (just eyeballing it) that maybe they've adjusted the water bottle cage bolts too.

I'm considering their R1058, but I can't find any reviews of the ride. Also, it's the same price as the R086 (750 USD), and I can get a painted frame with decent reviews from another supplier in the 500 dollar range...

A few of their geometries have been updated recently.

Been using the R086-D as my official wheel testing frame. Didn't expect to enjoy those Elite Velo Six wheels as much as I do.

Anyone else having issues with slipping seatpost? I already torqued them to 10NM with carbon paste and it's still slipping mid ride.

I had the same issue. 9Nm didn't work, 11Nm did the trick (I'm 70kg)

I feel 11Nm is too tight already but I'll try.

[chughes]

would suggest you try thread locker on the bolts 'and see if 10 nm works

I just tried this. Applied threadlocker on the expander bolts on seat post, torqued to 10nm, did a 60km ride and no slipping issues so far for the whole ride. I tried 11nm (with no threadlocker) but issue returned after an hour of riding.

So therefore, slipping seatpost was caused by the bolt loosening maybe due to vibration. I checked them after every ride (before I applied threadlocker) and it was really loose (Had to torque them back to 10nm each ride).

BTW I used loctite 243 medium strength.

I have the same problem on multiple bikes with a custom clamp system. Seat post bolt gets loose. So now I always apply some threadlocker.

Any word on tire clearance? Officially 30c, looks like there's not much extra space there with Pat's 30ish mil 28s.

[patliean1]

32c GP5000 on 23mm internal wheels fit. But only on dry roads I would say.

Much appreciated
