Actually, they did but they are only offered by Winspace Canada.

It would be interesting to see the balancing process!

Hi Barry, thank you. :-) It really depends on what feature you prefer (comfort, stiffness, durability, etc.). I recommend checking out my roundup article, where you can learn more: www.cyclistshub.com/best-chinese-carbon-wheels/ Feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions.

I don't think so, as they advise taking the imprint in underwear. Yeah, I also prefer shorter saddles. :)

@@cyclistshub but that is maybe the issue ;) you are not riding your bike in underwear, but in cycling shorts and another thing is, that it must be very inaccurate to make real saddle only from pictures :) in my opinion that process has to be similar to bike fitting...you just have to be right there at place

@@Milan_Nemec I see, well, it's hard to say. 🤷‍♂Determining sit bones width is probably better from imprint with underwear than with shorts. Furthermore, shorts have different chamois so it can skew the imprint as well.

Yeah, cooling is so underrated, right? :-D

Welcome 👍

Yeah, can be more depending on the country. 😊😅

Yes, I mentioned this in the video. 😊

Thank you, Neil.

Me neither. 🤷‍♂️ I may try. Thanks for the tip.

I use the nose, almost exclusively. I had a crash in a race a few weeks ago and my saddle was drastically bent at the back, but I didn't even notice till I got home because I don't use the back. It was a fabric scoop flat, nice comfortable nose.

😮

Short nose saddles also have smaller rails, less adjustment, less positions to sit, longer saddles are objectively better. Its one of the worst fads going on right now, it also has nothing to do with the nose width.

​@@BostilCensurado each person have different perveance for me saddle nose not useable and it become a restriction. for me the source for comfort is the frame choice. frame construction and how they made top tube and the seat post play the main role as a factor determine result for the comfort, saddle rail almost have no significant impact compare to the frame quality.

I am not sure tbh. But I don't think so.

What about the bearings? 😊

@@cyclistshub My very first wheelset was 38 deep rim brake and I had some issues with freehub, but they sent me a replacement straight away and never had an issue again. My other wheels were and one set still is, build on DT Swiss 240 and after almost 20k, they're still true but bearings needs replacement

Cool, thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

Do you have a source or more information on the SEKA being kicked by the factory?

@@cyclistshub Common knowledge in the carbon manufacturing industry.

Of course. 😊 Thanks.

Yes, the issues were sorted a few weeks/months after my review already. They honestly felt awesome, both lightweight and responsive but still comfortable, and were rolling well. Great balance of most of these features. Of course, everything is based on comparison with other wheelsets I've ridden and feelings. 😊

@@cyclistshub thanks for your response. I'm glad you felt they were awesome. From this information, it sounds these wheels are a great all rounder that are not heavy, which is what I'm looking for (aero and climbing)! On my shortlist for sure. I have an older 2013 TCR SL that may only fit 25mm wheels.

Time for a bike upgrade, maybe? 😊

What is your limit?

Material, weight, maybe (?) riding characteristics?

@@cyclistshub okay going for the non s works version then.

Coming soon!

Hi Stephen, of course, they will be! Let us know how you like them once you try them out. 😊

Yeah, I would consider it as well if I am about to build a new bike. 😅

Yeah, I think it's a wise choice to wait a few months to see how they handle the dealerships in Europe/US. The beginnings are tough.

Remember a warranty isn't the same as a guarantee.

To be fair to other Chinese brands, they also usually offer customizable cockpit dimensions.

Pricing for Europe is published on Florian Bikes, and for ROW on Ccache.cc. Regarding review, trust me that I would like to test it out 😊 but we don't have any arrangement with SEKA.

Where are you from? Have you thought about using a package forwarding service?

@@cyclistshub SEAsia. I can definitely look into those services if needed. Still suck though, the official Garmin shop (and other resellers) USED to have 315 and 515...but it's all gone now.

I can still see them on their website. Maybe try using a VPN? Anyway, there is an ongoing discount on RTL515, so it's possible Garmin will release a new model soon.

@@cyclistshub It's not that I can't see the page, it's that the stock is completely and utterly out in the country (for both 315 and 515). Even other local resellers in my country (on non-Amazon online shopping) don't have it anymore either. Only 715 is in stock But yeah, really hope for a new model. A new one with reasonable price and USB-C would be great

😮 supply chain issues I guess.

I am glad you like it. :-) Hard to say, I found Body Rocket interesting. How much does it cost to have a session in the wind tunel?

@@cyclistshub I found an American company which offers wind tunnel tests for around 600$ per hour. While this is certainly expensive a wind tunnel test is only necessary if you optimised anything else and you're very competitive (and successful with it). But then I really don't see how the body rocket will be accurate enough. I mean, we're talking about small body changes with little differences...

@@Xarx42 Yeah, as you said, 99.9 % of us won't use it. 😅 Good point about the accuracy; I forgot to ask. But given the scale and the granularity of the charts, I believe it will be pretty accurate.

@@cyclistshub Ah well, you can take any kind of data, polish over it just hard enough and make some graphs out of it... :D My fluid mechanics lessons are quite some years in the past now, but what I do remember: turbulent air (or any fluid) is an absolute pain in the a**se to calculate with. Thats one of the reasons wind tunnel systems are so big: to absolutely assure all the air coming to the test object is laminar and you can actually measure anything meaningful. I promise you with such a small setup everything will be turbulent. Is it complete BS? Who knows, but I am relatively confident it has not the accuracy thats needed for the athletes who would need such a device.

I understand. Well, I don't know all the technical details and principles, but from what I understand, they measure the change in force at all contact points. So if the ride position improves (CdA decreases), the force on those sensors will also decrease. 🤷‍♂️

Good question. If you send me $5000, I can buy them and find out. 🤣

I honestly can't tell. As I said in the video, I am a pretty lightweight rider, so can't spot a difference when spriting. Both bikes feel stiff to me. 🤷‍♂️

Finally someone reacted to the joke! 😅

@@cyclistshub 😁was a nice one

Would you ever consider a Chinese bike?

@@cyclistshub I believe they will take over the cycling industry in the next 5-10 years but for now Ill stick with western brand unless a brand made it to the pro-peleton.

Hm... Time will tell! If I play a devils advocate, women's team Winspace made it to pro peloton at this year's Vuelta Femenina. 😅

Thank you for sharing your experience! :-)

Well, there are many pros and cons of using a smartphone instead of a bike computer. I have a fully dedicated article on my website: www.cyclistshub.com/bike-computer-vs-smartphone/.

Make sure to watch the long-form one as well! :)

Thank you!

I have 185cm and my inseam is 86cm. 😊

@@cyclistshub You were feeling pain with the 175mm crank? I have the same measurements than you both in height and inseam. That's why I find the topic even more interesting.

Sometimes my knees hurt in the winter or I was troubled by the IT band. But I mainly wanted to try shorter cranks. :-)

Hi Dan, yeah, I thought so. Thanks for your explanation. 😊

Yes, I do. Thanks!

Yeah, but I am sure it will have some limitations like the TT bike it's compatible with, etc.

Hi Neil, yes, I am. Thank you!

@@cyclistshub great video!

Thanks a lot! I shot it when I had shivers. 😀

@@cyclistshub you did a great job. I know how hard Eurobike can be; I was always drained for days after.

Exactly. For an introvert like me, it's very draining.

Hi Paul, yes, I am finally feeling better now. 😊🙏

Thank you!

Thank you. 🙏
