Did anyone finally figure out if the bearings are 40x52x7 36º/45º or 45º/45º?

Hi, thanks everyone for replying. I'm using 28mm Tufo Comtura 4 TR tires. Your frame seems to have a slightly smaller rim width, but it also passes closer to the left chainstay. The problem is, if I want to fit 30mm tires, they'd be a very tight fit over the left chainstay. Cheers.

Well, I'm having trouble with the frame. I've half sorted out the steering issue, but now I've noticed the rear wheel is much closer to the left chainstay than the right (the one on the drive side). It doesn't seem right to me. Does yours stay centered at the same distance? I checked with other wheels and it's the same, so it's not the wheels.

Ah, ok, now I understand....I confirm that the aluminum crown on the fork head should not be used.

I haven't checked whether the measurement/angle is printed on the bearings (I don't think so), but Spcycle told me the following bearing sizes: 52x39.8x7 45°
If what you wrote is correct but an external degree measurement is missing, I understand that they are 36º/45 bearings and not 45º/45º

Hi, I was referring to the aluminum crown of the fork head. On the R088, the lower bearing is mounted directly to the fork. I checked everything again, and the bearings I received are identical: 40x52x7 mm, 36°/45°, both the upper and lower ones. Are yours the same? I'm trying to rule things out because I don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance.

First of all, thanks for replying. I already tried that. I cut the fork more and left a wider gap so it would compress properly, and I tightened it all the way, but it still didn't work. The spacers are tight, but it's like the C-shaped piece isn't fitting properly. I'm fed up with assembling and disassembling it and nothing works...

Hi, I assembled my Spycycle frame, size 58, everything seemed perfect, but when I went out to test it, there's play in the headset. I've tried everything, even removing it completely. When I hold the handlebars at the bottom, they move from side to side. No matter how much I tighten them, nothing works. I even tried using spacers at the top. I bought a Spycycle frame and integrated handlebar, so it should work perfectly. I'm desperate. I have it assembled without the metal race on the headset crown, as I understand it's not necessary. I measured the bearings, and they were exactly the same, so it doesn't matter which one I use at the top or bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good morning, I ordered the R088 frame option with the handlebars. Does it include the GPS mount or do I have to buy it separately? Thank you.

Hello,

My first post about first build. Order and delivery went smooth and took about 1 month. Weights are in par with another buyers experience.  It's another one with raw carbon glossy finish. I planed to swap everything from my old bike (cracked frame). But in last minute i decided to go with  KOCEVLO TB340 (360-110mm) wich is most interesting part of my build because it was a bit of gamble with no reviews or even mention. Handelbar look cool but quality is average. I only did few very short test rides. My initial feelings are that rxl sl carbon bar with light uno stem in same dimensions is stiffer. Removable cover make internal routing really easy, without it i would stay with old setup. Overall ride feels more comfortable as my previous bike (2019 Radon Spire). I need to fine tune shifting and breaks (some disc rub with power down) and ride more to have valuable opinion.


Hi, sorry to bother you, mate. I love the finish of your frame. How did you get that finish? It's exactly what I want, but I only see the matte and gloss black UD finishes on Spycycle. Best regards and thanks in advance.
