Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Winspace M6
« on: May 11, 2026, 09:52:12 PM »
A buddy of mine here told me yesterday he finally received his M6 frameset earlier in the week.

Dude is a total stud as well. 6'3" 210lbs. Can confirm his low Z2 is my Z3 lol. He ordered a size XXL. He's coming from a Canyon Endurance CF and said that price w/ handlebars for the M6 was too good of a deal to pass up. He's stoked.

I bring this up because as I've always said, 6 years of reviewing Chinese bikes and I can still really only convince Chicago folks to invest in Winspace. The only exception very recently now is Tavelo and QuickPro. You will now find all 3 brands at every local crit race here.

Truthfully though having both YouTuber influencers and organizing race club validate these brands puts a lot of confidence in the average buyer. Buyers who aren't on the forums.
I know a few people here in Milwaukee who are curious, but the process of ordering the cheaper frames from like Lightcarbon is too daunting so they end up bailing. And when it comes to more expensive frames from Winspace and QuickPro, they'd rather just buy a Trek (even if it still costs way way more).

Just an update, was able to get my bike faced which resolved the brake rubbing issue. Can't complain too much for how nice the bike is!

I've had zero issues with building the bike beside this rear caliper issue. I probably could do it myself, but I've been spending money on replacement adapters in case they were the issues so I'll just take it to the shop to settle it once and for all.

The screws have also been pretty consistent, no concerns from me.

Pulling up to both my local crit races and national level events while seeing several riders with Tavelo Arows has been awesome to see this season. Folks who paid for them  8)

Tavelo is continuing the legacy that many feel Winspace once had back in 2020/21. Which makes sense IYKYK.

So how many frames do you have lined up to review over the new few months heh

Ah okay, I am actually relieved to hear it is not too uncommon of an issue. Certainly would appreciate if it were faced properly from the factory but I was more worried about having to get a new frame entirely! What grit sandpaper do you guys use for this?

Finished building mine, but I absolutely cannot get the rear caliper aligned at all. Have tried another wheel that works in another bike without any issues so I don't think it's a rotor issue. I am worried it's a brake facing issue since I can see the caliper start to tilt as I tighten the bolts down... Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks for the list - I will cover as much as I can. I'm doing two full days, but should be a fun time!
Would love to see some reviews on Magicshine stuff!

Just finished building an LCR-018 so this would be perfect for it!

This comes up every few weeks, just search the thread as it’s been covered to death.

Well yes, I have seen people mention it, but I haven't seen an exact answer for where it actually goes.

So do I place the upper headset bearing, then the spacer? Or does it go after the spacer that routes the brake hoses?

10
First time assembling an internally routed bike from scratch, what is this and how does it interface with the headset stack?

Which Zwift Cog do I order to fit the Cycplus? Or does it really matter?

14
Is the OEM T47 BB 12 or 16 notch? Need to buy a tool.

Just got photos of the bike frame, will finalize painting this week I believe so hopefully get the frame by the end of the month!
