Re: SEKA Bikes? Out of contact?
Did you build up the frame yet? How is it? Yep, received the frame last week and built it up waiting to put more miles on it before creating a separate post reviewing the bike. So far so good though. Built it up with the new Di2 R8170, Elite Drive 50s w/ Schwalbe one pro tubeless in frame size large the total weight(not including pedals, computer, or rear light was just under 7.1kilos or around 15.8 pounds. My only complaint has been the lack of communication from Cycling 100, however having already built a few Chinese bikes I had more patience than most on the weightweenies forum. Ended up taking 6.5 months from order to delivery, party due to covid lockdown, and partly due to lack of Large frame availability. I would be a bit hesitant to order now with the current political unrest especially in shanghai where they're made. The build process itself had only one issue which was mostly error on my part. When running the hydraulic hoses it helps to fasten the hose to the brake and tighten the brake down. I thought I was having a strange issue with my handlebars turning themselves however this weas resolved when I connected both ends of the hydraulic hose. I did learn if connecting and securing everything doesn't solve the issue then either the cables are cut too short or the line is twisted causing tension. The new wireless Di2 was incredibly easy to setup and SEKA provides plenty of parts to accommodate Di2 or cable run builds. How does it ride you may be wondering? Well I'm wondering the same haha. With only 1 ride so far I'm waiting on better weather and my weekends have also been occupied by skiing. Having said that the bike "feels" much stiffer than my vbr177 or Sworks SL5 Disc. This could be due to a multitude of things like wheels, handlebar, tire pressure, or that its a new thing and I want it to be good. Time will tell and I'll follow up with another review after some more miles. December 01, 2022, 10:05:37 AM |
