Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Speeder Cycling SC-R55D

The bike looks quite good and with potential.
The spacers however don't seem to fit perfectly, but maybe it's the picture. looks like the bottom one is too long and is not the shape of the fork. Is that the pic or a feature?

I ordered the spacers aftermarket. So they weren't intended to fit perfectly. Especially the wide ones.

With a BB I may have measured it incorrectly. Because the press fit bottom bracket fit really well. No excessive noise during the install. It seems to fit like a glove.

I don't pretend to be an engineer. I measured it because I've seen engineers on YouTube measure it.

Sorry for the delay.

I will get to the details.

Firstly, with the same wheels the bike has gained weight, it is 7.125 kg now.  Made some quality of life adds - adding 70g of weight was shockingly easy to do.

The frame weighed 900 grams with paint, the UDH, and the FD hanger.  The finish is very nice but there were oddities, such as the BB was 40.5mm, and compared to a Light Carbon frame I have the disk brake fittings weren't faced as well.

Components: Dura-ace, with a Riro carbon crankset, 50/34 chain rings, Favero assiomo uno power meter pedals, Selle Italia SLR saddle, Onirii 160mm Rotors front and back, Avian Canary 34 width handlebars, Light Carbon Wheels (68mm depth), YBN Chain, Conti GP 5000 TLR, and TPU tubes.

Wheels are here, they are excellent: https://www.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-super-light-c67db-undulating-rim-depth-carbon-spoke-road-wheels_p232.html

The build went really smooth other than mistakes I made, I am new to modern bikes and so I had to redo a lot of things.

Note - it comes with a 7 by 7 seat post clamp.  Ask for the 7 by 9 if you need it.

Justin from Speeder was excellent, straight forward and accurate, maybe too direct for Canadian living in Wisconsin.

Another post will come in a few minutes with more pics.

I built my SC-R55D last week.  In this configuration it comes in 7.05kg.  I could easily shave more grams off, but I am happy with the weight for now.  This morning was my first work out and the bike felt good under me.

Has anyone had trouble with the brakes.

I have had troubles with brake failure but it could be my mechanical skills.

Re: Lameda.  They are the best AliExpress bibs I have worn.

I ordered one the other day. They only have one size in stock (51), and the lead time for the black matte finish is 40-50 days.
