Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Chinese Long-ish saddle
« on: August 14, 2025, 05:21:21 AM »
Hi, I am looking for long-ish not wide saddle.
Right now I have Oxygen Triton with 275mm x 130mm size, 7x7 steel rails and 215 gramm which is a decent weight.
What I am looking for?
1. Lighter saddle, with some cushioning. (so, not raw carbon, might be minimal, but should be there)
2. If lighter, then I shall likely looking for carbon ones, so I am ready to go for oval rails for that.
3. Sizing is very important. I am not feeling comfortable with anything short like Specialized Power-alike saddles.
So Ryet 3d models are out of question for me, tried already.
What models shall I look for?

And, do they provide a discount either from you or via forum?

Thanks for your answer. Instagram for a contact also works for them?

I am very thrilled about these wheels. Please advice which configuration would better suit me.
1. I am lightweight rider 56-57kg with 280w on FTP. My sprint values however are just average and I can do about 1000w in the sprint.
Climbing - 50% in the saddle, and 50% out of the saddle.
2. I am riding 60% indoors, 40% outdoors and my descending skills are mediocre. No criteriums, only may be a few alpine marathons a year.
3. Current wheels choice: Hunt 44 Aerodynamicist, with steel spokes about 1460gramm a set. Even with this set descends can be very "windy" for me.
4. What I am looking for: May be a same stability or better in the crosswind, depth 40 or 44mm ( not ready to go 35mm just yet) and shave some weight.
I do not like when the wheel does feel not solid and occasionally I ride through the potholes ( if it is safer due to the riders, cars etc..)

Which rim / hub / depth configuration will you advise? How does these wheels compare to CRW and does it worth to overpay for them ?
How long are shipping times to Germany and the duties?
Looking at the official website I have not found anything similar discussed in this thread. How do you do the order and your payment method?
Thanks!

Do you have the link to the manufacturer website and possibly more pictures?
Geo looks very nice.

I see a lot of complaints about the Winspace Agile geo, can someone explain why it's geo is 'weird?' 

It seems like the idea behind it was to make a hyper aggressive body position with a high BB, basically a purpose built crit bike.

Most brands I have M frame, with 174 height I went with L and the frame (i do have T1500, all in all almost same) is perfect for me.
Very snappy feeling, responsive but still very confident on alpine descents.
Geometry is agressive and it is one of the most agressive on the market, but still manageable if you are racing.

Got the same answer about the bracket and position. My frame was not even drilled for the battery mount though. Very poor quality control. Will take some pictures and post when I get home.
I have wrapped up the battery in a sponge for another bike. It expands and holds battery well enough. Hope it solves your problem

Make sure you torque enough & use carbon paste.
If it's a tolerance thing, then consider using a soda can shim, or some fiberglass cloth.
Also consider greasing the thread of the plug, especially if you've sweated on it. The torque shouldn't go into turning the screw, the torque should go into pushing the expander into the seat post.
Afaik, save for crazy exceptions, "all" seatpost slipping is fixable.

Got the replacement seatpost from Yishun. Same story here, 70km ride, it is slipping.
Small piece of sandpaper did not helped. Carbon paste is still there and it is torqued enough.
This issue drives me nuts, otherwise frame is ok ...

Germany, Lake Constance area, so quite far away from Frankfurt.
Interested in the other frame, which could be a real contender to my Winspace T1500

Thanks. I use carbon paste. I have used sandpaper, but not yet tried outside. Bought a threadlocker as the very last option if nothing works. Yishun confirmed the post I have measured is underspec and offered a replacement one. We will see if it works.

Received reply from yishun,frame available in August,900€ with shipping from Germany.
I think that I finally found my next frame

I ordered recently R-086 (aero one from them). Got 820 EUR quoted.
In general, I like geometry and ride feel.
However, the very very big negative for me is the seatpost slipping down. I am pretty much freaked out at any decsent.
Support from Yishun exists, but I am not really sure they can solve an issue.
I will keep you posted if I have luck.

Finished Yishun R086-D build yesterday. First impression from riding indoors is very very good.
Bought 52cm frame directly in Germany for 800 EUR, one of their last 2 (as they said) they sell as single pieces. Afterwards, they go to minium 10 frames order.
I will update the post with pics when I get a chance of better weather to ride outside.

T1500/T1550 I can recommend, very happy after 10k km in a year with it. The build however, comes closer to the original Merida Reacto.
I would go the same route, if you like to choose your own components or have fun building bikes.

Avoid Ican.
I had a problem with it, see the thread:
