Workswell WCB-M-062

[erwanaac]

Hi
I'm planning to change my Flyxii FR-216 frame for the WCB-M-062. I have some questions as I'm searching for a bike who could have a geometry near the BH ultimate 2016. Except the front angle the 062 is pretty similar, so If I build it with a 120 mm fork and a -17° stem, front angle would be about 69,5° but what about other values : reach, stack, seat angle, bbheight ?
Thanks and wish you an happy new year !!

PS : sorry if my english is not really clear.

Anyone tried to fit anything wider than 2.3" on the back?

Nice color! Was it painted in China or locally?
If the later, where did you go to paint it?

Painted in Italy, here: http://www.verniciaturabici.it

Can anyone suggest a good place to buy a 062 frame. Most places I have looked say the frame is not available at this time. Also has Anyone built one up with the bb92 bracket?

Hi Dhallmark, WorksWell were great to deal with. There was going to be an initial delay in dispatching as they were awaiting stock and holiday looming but within a week or so it was sent to EMS on a Sunday. and arrived in UK Tuesday

[Dhallmark]

So you went straight through workswell? I emailed and haven't gotten a response and didn't see pricing or a way to order on their site. Maybe I missed something?

Its Chinese New Year. They'll respond when they get back from holiday.

I recently noticed some play in my headset
I took the forks off and the bearings don't look good so i'd like to replace the whole headset.

Anyone got any tips on what to buy?
I dont mind paying a bit extra for more quality (I was using the ones that came with the bike).

I do not buy expensive headsets anymore, it is waste of money, they all rust in the end( I tried Cane creek for instance ).

Instead I buy cheap ones on aliexpress for about $12-15, which are the same more or less we get with our new frames.
Such as this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-Bike-headset-1-1-8-head-top-and-down-1-1-2-ball-bearing/32615817055.html?spm=2114.01010208.8.20.6CXk8H
And change them when they do not work well anymore( often the bottom bearing fails first ).

You can as well buy on aliexpress stainless steel bearings( especially the bottom one ), they seem to last longer.
Check if you need a 52x7mm or 52x8mm ( it is the 7mm if I remember well on the 062 ).

Exactly what I do. The expensive one maybe last a little bit longer, but not that much to justify the price difference.

Recently I bought a couple of these ones for $10/each: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Road-Bike-Headset-1-1-8-1-1-2-Top-Cap-MTB-Tapered-Headset-Spacer-Integrated/32758312564.html
I recommend this shop, very good communications with Tang Zhilin.

Thanks MTB2223 !!

I was hoping one might do a slightly better job of keeping water from getting to the bearings but $10 is too cheap to pass up

Maybe I could use a better grease?

I have had a quick google and found
Morris K99 Waterproof Stern Tube & Bearing Grease

Our weather has been extremely humid over the last few months when its normally dry

These are the ones i use as well. They fit just about every tapered head tube. I have this same headset on my road and mountain bike only they are stamped Neco. Just an unbranded Neco headset. I also prefer the swedge fit on the top bolt instead of the pressed in retaining nut. It's reusable and doesn't chew up the inside of the carbon fork (if so equipped).
