Component Deals & Selection / Re: chinese carbon saddles
« on: March 10, 2026, 01:14:38 PM »
Hey guys, is there anyone who have experience with both of these Ryet saddles? https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvgtnCg

I’ve been using the one in the first attached image for about two years and it’s fine (my fist road bike so I never used different saddle to compare it with), but after 1-2h it’s not super comfortable. I wonder if the one in the second attached image is better when it comes to comfort and if it’s worth the replacement.

Weirdest thing - I took out the original Maxell battery from CAD70 and put it inside of SPD70 and it works! Also the GP battery works in CAD70. So Maxell works in both but GP works only in CAD70 for some reason..

I set the circumference to 2136mm (700 x 28C) but it didn’t help. What do you mean by change mode to cadence? Cadence sensor works fine and shows proper data on computer. Maybe I’ll try the original battery from CAD sensor and move it to SPD sensor. After that I’m out of ideas.

I’ve been using iGPSPORT iGS630 computer with cadence (CAD70) and speed (SPD70) sensors second season now. Everything worked fine until original battery died in speed sensor. I exchanged the battery and I can connect to the computer but the speed just remains 0 all the time. Anyone who had similar issue in the past or have some ideas on how to fix this?

Do you guys have any suggestions, tips and tricks on what to do with a bike before leaving it hanging for few months during winter?

Hey, any suggestions for autumn/winter gloves?

I’m 180cm tall and got size 56.

How many dollars did you get the frame set? Are you satisfied with its performance? Is the frame rigid?

Thank you
I ordered it with HB088 integrated handlebar. No painting. I ordered delivery from China and paid 888$(817€ after currency exchange on Revolut) for everything.
Frame(w/ small discount of 20$) - 729$
Shipping to Slovakia & taxes - 127$
Bank fee - 32$
Interestingly, the full price would be 954€(w/o small discount) if ordered delivery from Germany.

So far, I’m very happy with the purchase and the whole build. It was my first time building a bike and it was a bit more complicated than I initially thought. In the end very satisfying tho. The bike is fun to ride, very fast and stiff in my opinion. However, keep in mind that this is my first road bike, so I don’t really have another one to compare it with.

You definitely don't want a floor pump or a mini overpriced cube. An electric tire pump like the xiaomi mijia 2S is excellent, it's about the size of a powerbank but thicker, has a better gage and the battery lasts forever. There are countless options on ali it's getting hard to choose. I have a xiaomi 2S which is amazing, I don't really use my floor pump at home anymore. Supposedly the xiaomi is not the best anymore but you can't go wrong with it

I’m currently considering this Xiaomi Air Compressor 2 - https://a.aliexpress.com/_EysRcLp. If you guys know of a better alternative, please let me know.

And what about the seatpost clamp? I asked also Yishun directly but so far no answer.

EDIT: Yishun's response:
  • Seatpost clamp - 6-7Nm
  • Saddle rail clamp - 9-10Nm

Hey, I finally got all the components and found enough time to finish the build. What torque did you guys use for the saddle rail clamp(for this or similar Yishun bike)? I have Ryet carbon saddle and about 85kg(if that's important).

  • Those are trim positions to prevent chain rub on the front derailleur when in crosschained gear combos. See https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=CR8jyNgoS0U for a good little visualization (remove the space in the URL - youtube links are really weird on this forum.)
  • The chain getting stuck between the front derailleur and the chainring is how shifts happen - the chain is forced into the big chainring which picks it up and deposits it onto the teeth. Of course, this only happens when pedaling - nothing will happen if the crank isn't rotating.
The thing is that when I try to shift up(while pedaling) the chain gets pinched and it blocks the movement of the pedals.
