Speeder SC-R48

500 will be too small for sure.  You'd need a crazy long seatpost.

Looks like their size 500 is equivalent to a size 54/55 frame:

Reach is 397
Stack is 544
TT: 553
HT: 145

Shame there isn't a more standardized way of measuring frames. It seems to vary from brand to brand.

Also...Winspace Hyper wheels can be had for $1200. Several 10% off codes exists which basically covers fast priority shipping. So $1100 USD shipped for DT Swiss 240 laced wheels in a very modern width isn't terrible. Having an easily serviceable hubs is good thing too. The main hurdle is brand awareness.

i do love how serviceable dt swiss hubs are. pull the freehub (and cassette) off at the same time, remove/add grease, put back on. basic maintenance done and can be done every 2500 miles. even fully replacing the bearings isnt that challenging.

…pull the freehub (and cassette) off at the same time, remove/add grease, put back on…

Lol.  You know its so blindingly obvious, but I never really thought about that until you just wrote it.

Would you say you prefer DT Swiss hubs over others?

Strange that there is a cable route through the top tube, not sure what is going on there.

The cable on the top tube is for V brake . Because the 2 versions share the same mold on this part , if you use disc brake version , this cable is no useful .

I heard back from Justin:

We currently don’t have SC-R48D in stock, so can’t sell one set to public. I can combine your order with others if you can wait 2~3 months for the new production which inquires MOQ 10 sets.
SC-R48D: US$698/set
The shipping cost to Canada is US$145.

I heard back from Justin:

So with just a couple of us emailing him, the quote has jumped from 660 to 698...I guess that's the answer to patliean1's question!

Looking back i dont know, i love the serviceability but im a tiny bit of a weight weenie and theyre heavier and more expensive. 350 is heavier than bitex and significantly more.

I heard back from Justin:

I wonder what shipping is if MOQ is met.  I am assuming that is shipping by EMS.  I wonder what the cost is by Ocean freight....

Im not a stickler for things but them charging different prices is a bit of a red flag to me. Why would they change the price depending on person?

Similar to my Skywing Carbon thread...there seems to be an apparent "cash grab" among these factories and agents.

Now that you mention Skywing, I see what you are referring to.

Longteng, the brand behind the ltk036 is the manufacturer of the ribble ultimate sl a few years ago.

I also asked about the direct mount version (SC-R48V) and it is also out of stock.

Would anyone be interested in organizing a group buy?
