Man I wish I had known this. I've been running one of these ULT cassettes with SRAM Force AXS and the shifting has always been a little finicky and noisy. I had always assumed that if the cassette was XDR it would have SRAM's pitch, and that my problems were a "skill issue". I also had assumed that incompatibility between Shimano and SRAM 12s was overblown since GCN swapped wheels on 2 Canyon models equipped with Shimano and SRAM 12s, and evidently it shifted fine.

What type of chain are you using with the above setup?

Shimano and Sram 12s can be mixed to an extent.

Currently running AXS with a 12s Shimano cassette and chain + an 11s ultegra crankset and it works well considering the mix but is it as clean as a full sram setup not really.

Buzzer sound!  Incorrect answer!   Below is a link to what you need.  A Shimano spaced cassette that fits XDR!

That's not shimano spacing but I'm sure you're already aware of that :)

What I usually do with integrated cables handlebars is unwrap the bar tape and loosen up the shifters off and it gives enough "play" to remove the handlebar and pack everything in my Evoc travel bike pro bag which is the version where you have to remove the bars.

So far so good but it cost me a bar tape everytime.

Can anyone help me !!! I would need

a cassette for Shimano 12 speed Di2 but with XDR Freehub.

Original Sram Cassettes are not working really good.
Thanks

Can't swap the freehub body? What your after doesn't exist unless you have it made by a machinist.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: TPU vs Latex innertube

From Bicycle Rolling Resistance:

"Using latex inner tubes in tubeless tires is nearly as fast as setting them up tubeless. The most significant performance penalties are the higher weight of the inner tube and the loss of the re-sealing in case of a puncture that tubeless sealant in tubeless tires offers."

Sidenote: I ordered an electronic pump from Cycplus' latest update of pumps: E-Pump AS2 Pro. Offers up to 5 inflations at 80 PSI, and weighs less than two Co2 cartridges and inflator combined. To me this is the final nail in the coffin to running tubeless for road.

Interesting but it's huge will see if they are able to slim it down in future iterations.

Have you actually tested it?
It looks very fragile and I can’t imagine it would offer a lot of protection

Similar to a bike box which is tried and true.

I personally use an Evoc bag but you do need to travel more then a few times with it to have a good return on investment.

Thank you for sharing your build!

It looks really nice I like the paintjob.

Let us know how you find 12 spd mechanical!

Great post Pat!

I think the rougher economic times on top of the world situation have led to a lot of people putting cycling aside.

I would be interested in your personal top 10 of frames if you wouldn't mind sharing something like that and include your mainstream brand frames too!

That is a different frame isnt it?

But the Winspace story does give some credibility to the notion that racing does raise the profile of these frames.

It is a different frame.

Also, I don't think the Winspace is the first UCI open mold frame either.

But great to see these getting more exposure.

They have good customer service from personal experience it's not perfect but they should work with you.

Glad you didn't take a tumble.

If you are getting a Kalloy Uno stem, you specifically want the Uno 7 or Uno Ultralight models made of 7050al. This is a seller I have bought from, though there are cheaper ones currently:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799842115476.html

If you are willing to buy from Taobao, another seller I have been happy with:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.48832e8dttqFo7&id=610916266157&_u=n20gcba5ceca9e

And if you are looking for a stem computer mount, these are really high quality. They are bolt spacing specific so you want the Type A (24mm) version:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.48832e8dttqFo7&id=610261725473&_u=n20gcba5cec352

Nearly all the Uno Ultralight stem are 7 and 17 degrees. A 10 degree version exists, but is much harder to find for sale on Aliexpress.

Did you buy the taobao mount via Superbuy or some shopping service I wonder how much they would charge for the delivery.

Highly suggest you to stop riding carbon-made frames and forks then.

Here is the thread for the frame - https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3597.135.html

TLDR it's a light/stiff/ racing frame and to me it's fairly good downhill/cornering.

I'm guessing you're feeling a lack of compliance leading to a lack of confidence going downhill.

This is mostly down to tires and rims--excessively high tire pressure is the single largest factor in poor rear-end compliance.

You can reduce tire pressure while keeping rolling-resistance low by adopting wider tires, wider rims, higher-quality tires, and replacing butyl tubes with TPU, latex, or tubeless tires. The frame is mostly secondary to tire-setup, after all, the pros are riding Roubaix on aero-bikes these days.

What rear tire are you using? What width? What rim width are you using?

For example, I weigh 80kg, I am using 28mm Continental GP5000 with Ridenow TPU tubes inside, mounted to ICAN Aero 35 wheels, which have a 19mm internal rim-width. I run about 80-85PSI for races with high demands on cornering.

If you are really committed to buying another frame, I believe ICAN has the most solid reputation for quality, but their frames are somewhat heavy. And there's no guarantee it will be more compliant than your Winspace.

I can pretty much guarantee it won't.

I ride a Speeder RC-48D and it's just as stiff as my Allez Sprint 2019 Disc IE almost zero compliance.

It's a fast bike but not one I would chalk up as comfortable by any means.

With all the issues the eRX groupset is having, if you’re in the market for a cheap electronic group, The Pro’s Closet is selling Shimano Di2 at ridiculous prices. You can use their $40 off coupon for every $200 and build a full 105 Di2 for like $500 right now. Shifters are $100 each, brakes for $28, RD is $100, FD is $55, battery for $66.

Thanks Eddy! I also pulled the trigger no batteries left but will source that locally.
