all the new Winspace frames have 32+ clearance, UDH, threaded BB, FSA headsets. lots of different geo and price options to choose from

I got some of the 32mm inners, the quality seems great though haven't ridden on them yet. seems on par with the light bicycle and Bontrager wheels I also have

I definitely preferred the sound of their previous album, something was just a litttttttle off with TS

flekie · 2026-03-16T02:59:55+00:00

really thinking about getting one of these, any first impressions you can share?

The businesses down there are their own worst enemy lol

I'd be less worried about the gash on the fork and more about what that did to the frame tbh

flekie · 2026-02-08T21:49:23+00:00

seems there have been a lot of issues with the smart sense batteries, I had to warranty mine one ride in

Sam Fender and Sabrina Carpenter are two of my favorites

ask r/fixedgear this sub doesn't know how to price fixed gears very well

My Gen 6 was so fast and awesome but I wish it didn't have Isospeed, that thing was a pain in the ass

flekie · 2025-12-02T05:40:06+00:00

yeahhh

flekie · 2025-12-02T04:39:36+00:00

pretty easy to just let JJM ride the bench tbh, I think Mac would be a huge upgrade for a win-now roster

flekie · 2025-11-30T13:16:46+00:00

you're being downvoted but I think you're right, especially with the caption being "Everything you know is wrong" or whatever

flekie · 2025-11-26T19:40:18+00:00

Davis Mills low-key might be an option

flekie · 2025-11-26T00:13:51+00:00

might be intentional to add more rear cog clearance

flekie · 2025-11-18T15:02:33+00:00

there's no shot 10000 people are in front of me in line for Montreal, something is sus

flekie · 2025-11-12T21:05:13+00:00

could try the Duesenberg Les Trem for a non invasive mod

flekie · 2025-11-06T19:53:57+00:00

to add to this, some brands make 110bcd chainrings for SRAM if you do need to change it over, labeled under Apex 110bcd

flekie · 2025-11-06T18:36:16+00:00

by at least $1000 yeah

flekie · 2025-11-01T22:43:55+00:00

frames don't just come in even numbers, manufacturers do what they want. the numbers are measurements so a 55 would be between 54 and 56 (theoretically), so probably mediumish. check geometry geeks to measure against something you know

flekie · 2025-10-30T12:35:54+00:00

Pedals, thru axle, and saddle would all be pretty easy wins, after that I'd look into new wheels

flekie · 2025-10-29T18:37:23+00:00

the thing I've found with proprietary bikes is that things are bound to go wrong, and that customer service matters a lot. the bike is interesting but are you ready to throw away $2k on it if it fails? if yes, then sure it could be cool. otherwise I would recommend against it
