Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer assembles the YOELEO R11 DB Disc Brake Frameset, focusing on integrated cabling and providing tips. The frame features a proprietary seatpost clamp and non-round seatpost. The reviewer recommends using thin anti-vibration foam from a hardware store instead of expensive bike-specific foam. They note that the frame's integrated headset and cable routing can make steering stiff if thick foam is used. The reviewer is waiting for YOELEO wheels to complete the build.
AI Summary
Pros
- Frame allows for integrated cabling with careful assembly.
- Thin foam from hardware store works well for anti-vibration and keeps steering loose.
- Seatpost clamp design is functional with proper use of grease and carbon paste.
Cons
- Integrated cabling is difficult, especially with mechanical groupset (easier with Di2).
- Steering can be stiff if thick anti-vibration foam is used.
- Proprietary seatpost clamp requires careful assembly to avoid slipping.
