Re: Yishun R1088-D Aero Road
I just got the frame delivered. Here are few pictures. I wonder if the cable hole in the fork(last picture) is normal this way or if I should contact Yishun about it. It isn’t smooth at all but I’m unsure if that’s expected with Chinese brands.

Re: Yishun R1088-D Aero Road
Oh, alright thanks! Another question - is it good to grease the bearing in the picture above also from the bottom/inner side? I went down that rabbit hole yesterday. Having looked at a lot of videos, pretty much ALL modern builds I saw put bike grease on headset bearing seats (I think mostly for waterproofing?). Given how annoying it is to disassemble headsets these days, and how quickly you can get creaks if you ride in the rain (even once), i would say, cake that b1tch. It's more contentious for PF BBs, but it seems that Wakos brake protector is the ultimate product to use, as per "ride of Japan" on YT, and apparently Cannondale in mechanics workshops (I think Australia), and cannondale basically invented creaking BBs with the PF BB30. And for us in Europe, Liqui Moly 3312 (made in Germany, cheap) seems to be a legit alternative. I haven't seen anyone saying it doesnt work. Both products apparently are a silicone based grease. But people do fight over whether loctite is good or not (& if so, which, and which cure time, and how...), and if you believe Shimano you shouldn't use anything at all, and then there are those who put regular bike grease, or lithium grease, or copper grease. Long story short: put grease on your headset bearings, and wakos / liqui moly 3312 on your PF BB. Liqui molly costs 10 eur: if it reduces the chances of a creak, it is money worth spending. I bought that Moly thing yesterday, i plan to try it. I did an extended 600+W effort a few days ago and i (think i) heard a noise for the 1st time on my LT268, which sent me down that rabbit hole in the 1st place. April 10, 2024, 02:22:52 AM |

Re: Speeder Cycling SC-R55D
Received my SC-R55D a few days ago. Almost 2 months from the order to receiving it at my door. Shipping was only a few days (Fedex International Priority). Size 535 (more like a 56-58cm). This is my first carbon bike, I'm not sure what's normal and what isn't. NOTE I specifically requested it to be unpainted. So, naturally it looks rougher than one you might receive with the standard matte clear coat. Don't judge it too much based on the unfinished appearance. I'll disassemble and paint it in the spring. Photos (82) https://imgur.com/a/tJCYRZ4 BB Shell I measured the BB with a bore gauge, 6 measurements per side and averaged. DS: 40.97mm NDS: 41.02mm Could be better, could be (far) worse, I think the ideal is like 40.98mm-41.00mm. DS should be fine, NDS I might use a bit of Loctite 641 for good measure, but will see how it feels first. Weights
Frame + essential small parts (hanger, FD tab, seatpost clamp, rubber cover): 905.7g I didn't purchase the offered thru-axles, getting some blue ones from elsewhere. Notes/Issues
Aero Random dimensions for unscientific aero weenie comparisons:
As I might've mentioned earlier, I'm doing a weird setup with a +17 deg stem to approximate the simplon/cervelo/bianchi/colnago thing and to get enough stack for my tall self. Then I'll design a fairing that encloses the stem/spacers/cables to make it sleeker and more aero. Hoping to finish it up by mid-January and have it ready for spring racing.

Welcome to the New Server...
If you're seeing this, you are on the new host/server. Unfortunately, approximately the last 48 hours worth of posts were lost. Sorry about that.. it was planned to be like 12 hours tops and then little unexpected things kept popping up delaying going live with the new server. Definitely a learning experience. The positive side is that Chinertown is now on a (hopefully!) faster, more reliable, modern server. The SMF version has also been updated to 2.0.19 so we will see if the broken pages, slow downs, and error messages are fixed or not. Hope this all goes well! June 17, 2025, 02:27:00 PM |

Forum Slowdown - Spam Bots
Just wanted to keep you all updated... I am aware of the site slowdowns happening over the last few days and am working on implementing a fix. We upgraded the forum software, got the new super fast server... then bam.. hammered by relentless spam bots and the site slows to a crawl. Frustrating. Hopefully it will be taken care of by end of day tomorrow, just wanted to keep you all in the loop. Really trying to avoid having to use those annoying "choose which squares contain a motorcycle" things but we may have to go that route.. not sure yet. I'll try everything I can to avoid doing that so if you see those start popping up... I had no choice. Sorry for the inconvenience, -SN July 22, 2025, 07:51:41 AM |

Re: Spcycle R065 700C Full Carbon AERO Road Disc Brake Frameset
Pupilorutero, Apone - Thanks for suggestions, sanding the contact surfaces did the trick. Im now done with the build, went super smooth and easy (minus the saddle clamp issue) and i like how the bike feels and looks full spec here: https://www.bikecheck.cc/bikes/e7974b49-c10c-4a90-a251-306a2983bf87/?config=170 April 10, 2026, 08:31:58 AM |
