I upgraded my front hub on one of peters T800 D50-33 wheelsets to a dynamo hub for ultras.
Complete weight of the wheel set is now 1627 g for 50 mm deep rims including dynamo, can’t complain about that :D

Otherwise, my T1100 D50-33 20H carbon spoke wheelset has now seen 4000 km without any issues, still stiff and true.

After the R088, I pulled the trigger on this one as well.

If you have any questions, just let me know. The build will take some time, I am not in a rush.

turn the Garmin Mount 180deg. "direction to seatpost"

Is the "TT clip-on" stable enough?

I would not put my full body weight on the clip-on, but so far I have zero issues and it is stiff enough.

The handlebars + TT survived Race around Rwanda.

I’ve got a few questions, maybe you can help me out:
Has it been comfortable until now?
How high is the stack of the armrests?
This version can not be angled, right?

I am looking at this or the HB-069 and can not decide on what would be more suitable for ultra long distances. I am going to take part in NC4K next year, so I need a good fitting and reliable solution. They are also going to be my first aerobars, want to attach them to my Dengfu R12.
Thanks!

You can adjust the height of the arm rest with different spacers, but you have to use all spacers due to the bolt length. I am currently running ~ 35 mm height arm rest to handle bar top. Highest position is ~ 45 mm and lowest is ~ 10 mm. The grips can be angleded from flat full on aero to 90 degrees or whatever you need in between. I cannot really tell how good or comfortable the bars yet, my longest ride this winter was just 70 km. I have to get used to it, I will also take part in some ultras next year.

I'm wondering if the Canyon Aero Groove Bar is compatibel with this handelbar (I already have it the Canyon solution). Would it be possible the you measure the distance of the two bolts and the area of the adapter?

My caliper is currently broken, but the distance between the bolts seems to be 35 mm.


Edit: Any idea how the mount the Garmin? I don’t really like the current position, too far forward and really tight between the grips…

Small update on the weight, without the handlebar itself though.

Total weight of the Aero Bar is 628.6 g, the complete indicated weight from SP incl. the Bar is 950 g.
Therefore, I assume the handlebar is ~ 350 g as mentioned above.

Unfortunately, I forgot to weigh the handlebar before installing it  ::)

The SP cycle website says 325 g for the bar only.
I will give an update when I get the chance, I will switch the frame beginning of next year.

I ordered the handlebar, following my positive experience with the R088 frame.
Did my first short ride today, but it is my first aero bar so I lack any experience.

If you have any questions, just reach out.

On a ride, I lost the bolt and semicircular adapter on the seat post. The bolt that secures the saddle. Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable replacement part. Can I ask you more specifically which manufacturer I can get the part from? Ideally, it's from Germany.

Can you show a picture of your bike? The colour looks awesome.

Struggling to solve my headset play issue, tried tightening the preload way too much and no luck, anyone find a solution?

I also had headset play, the root causes for me were:

1. wrong compression ring, there are two different heights when you order the frame with handlebar
2. steering tube was cut ~ 500 microns to long, avoiding proper clamping just slightly. Solved this with a flat headset cap

10
It is a racetrack for cars, so basically no braking for the curves and no switchbacks during decent. However, the bike was super stable during full speed turns. I hope I can make it to some bigger mountains later this year, the area where I live is dead flat.

I am also using an Ultegra BB for peace of mind.

Did the 24h Nürburgring cycle race this weekend in a team of four.
I managed 6 laps, which is approx. 156 km and 3400 m elevation and the R088 performed outstanding during the climbs and fast descents.
My top speed was 86 km/h which felt kind of sketchy the first round, but once I got used to it it was no issue.

Overall, I am still very happy with the Bike!

No part on the clamp was missing on my seat post. I replaced all the bolts with Titanium bolts, just for fun. Is there also a Titanium version of part C?

I just passed the 600 km mark on my R088 and I am very satisfied so far. Did a 110 km „sportive“ ride on Sunday and hit PRs all the way. This weekend I will take the R088 to the 24h Nürburgring.

Does anybody have issues with the headset play?

I have the frame with integrated SPcycle handlebars.
There is enough clearance for the top cap to not touch the expander, the bearings are mounted in the correct direction, the expander is torqued to ~ 5.5 Nm, gaps between frame and fork/cone spacer look good, spacers are „squeezed“ together nicely, …

However, there is still some play in the headset and I have already torqued down the bolt more than I would like/I am used to.

Just to follow up on this…the top cap DID touch the expander :-[ I switched to a flat top cap instead of the conical and the play could be adjusted properly. My first road bike… ::)

I attached some photos of my build.

Have you tried adding the thin metal shims to lock it down tightly? I think that's why some of us R088 owners prefer the non-integrated bar route to avoid headset play.

Like a spacer between the compression ring and headset cover / cone? I think this will not solve the problem, I can still fit a piece of paper easily between frame and cover. So there are definitely a couple of microns left between both parts before touching. But the spacers can also be turned by hand, which indicates insufficient clamping I guess.
