I Transformed my GIRLFRIEND'S BIKE! New Parts for her WINSPACE T1500D and LUN Wheels

[@santiagobenites]

What a good boyfriend! Setting up your sweetheart's bike like that. You guys make such a nice couple 😁

[@CharlesOuimet]

Hehe thank youuuuu

[@manueldeubler1127]

Short reach handlebars are awesome. The reach of handlebars is definitely the most overlooked number when purchasing a handlebar. It's so easy to wonder why your position feels weird after fitting a new bar.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Agreed!, they are so nice

Thank you man 😁

[@blutch222]

Where did you get the stem? I'd like to get a short one like that for my girlfriend too!

[@MauricioPaiz]

Once you know what size you need type that on Google search and good to go, millions of options.

[@blutch222]

@@MauricioPaiz I live in the same city as Charles, so a place that readily have them in stock and isn't backordered like half of components this year would be nice. I could definitly just order online but I may as well support a LBS at the same time. My LBS 5 min walk from my place is missing a lot of components these days.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Vélo iBike has all the stem sizes!

[@DaveCM]

Good job! The position looks about perfect!

[@CharlesOuimet]

A lot better now indeed!!

[@domestique3954]

MUCH better position now! 👌 🤙. Now the fun starts.....

Yes!!

You guys are so lucky in Montreal that you can just go out and ride on an F1 track! I wish we had something like that in Toronto

Do you recommend to buy it winspace?

Absolutely!! Check out my reviews!

What length was the stem on your girlfriend’s winspace handlebar 🙏🙏

[@CharlesOuimet]

She had a 85mm, now a 40mm with short reach handlebar :)

[@iAlphaUbeta]

Where are Gab’s sun glasses from? Really cool - and glad the bike is much more comfortable now!

[@CharlesOuimet]

They are Oakley Sutro Lite

[@JoseSanchez-sh2xe]

Charles i have a question I am interested in buying a win space brake rim frame i am 6'4 tall what do you suggest for the frame size ,in the moment i ride a 62cm Raleigh militias road bike frame. Also which is the safest and reliable seller to purchase a win space bike i currently live in the United states in Massachusetts.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Hey man!! Damn you're tall ahah. The XL with a long stem would maybe do the trick, check out your current seat tube length to compare with the Winspace size charts!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Only and best place to buy is directly winspace website!

Hey Charles, would you mind sharing your camera and lens specs with us? The lens you are using produces a lot of bokeh, it's really nice!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Hey! I use sony A7RIII with 24-70 2.8 and gopro9

[@vanschependom]

@@CharlesOuimet Oh I also have the 24-70 GM, it's a great lens!! Thanks for your response, great video bro

[@kamerafi]

Charles, use something like Silca Hirobel. It looks pretty painful to me mounting the bike on a top tube.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks for sharing! Not clamping the frame, simply mounted without any pressure from the top clamp. I'll eventually upgrade my stand when I have more space in my work room!

[@MauricioPaiz]

My bike fit info prior to ordering: 5”11, 150lbs. Size M, 70mm stem. The sizing for M and L are not proportional, specs change drastically. The M has better reach but worse stack than the L for me. Had to go with M in case my flexibility changes, the L would be unforgiving for reach. Getting the M allows for fit changes in the future. For me as well, Winspace did not make a shorter stem Aero Handlebar, or any other company so far, FSA ACR system uses 1.5 inch headset making It incompatible with the T1500 because Winspace chose to use 1-1/8th inch upper bearing 🤦🏻‍♂️. The FSA ACR is a beauty, unfortunately returning it all. Only a very heavy Deda Vinci stem stem has a compatible upper bearing system.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Good idea!! Thanks for sharing

[@MauricioPaiz]

@@CharlesOuimet update, FSA ACR incompatible as it is 1.5in upper bearing. Not 1-1/8in used by the T1500 and my steerer tube is D shaped! Yours isn’t ?

[@paolocastellano2771]

Those handle bars still look huge... They make smaller bars for sure. You can also get 150 mm cranks... also if the gears are too tall, you can get her a 32-11 cassette...

[@CharlesOuimet]

Couldn't find any shimano 150mm, I've look for them!! Stocks are hard to find these days ahah. Handlebar is a 34cm already, it doesn't get smaller than this... Already have an 11-32 casette, it was a big to hard to climb on the 53-39 crank, but not will be easier on the 52-36!

[@paolocastellano2771]

@@CharlesOuimet Nice! The bars looked bigger than that... Where did you get the 34 cm handle bars?

Very detail video i enjoy a lot

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks Jose!

[@TedTheAccountant65]

Just one note if you went from a 170mm crank to a 165mm crank she should have the saddle raised by 5mm to open up her hip angle! This will help her produce more power! And leas stress on her knees!!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Oh that's a great idea, thanks! I'll definitely raise the saddle a little!

[@daeko69]

Very nice! How tall is she?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks! 5'0

Is the race track free entrance, everyday possible for cyclist?

[@codexTu]

Very nice differences. You don't feel this model of helmet too uncomfortable? I have the same model and not great... Very few padding.🤨little disappointed for the price and no MIPS.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks!! My favorite helmet to date. Also sad there isn't mips, but still super comfortable, light and breathable

[@alexeysoroka8349]

Hello Charles. Can you please review your girlfriend’s bike and compare it you yours (disk brakes vs rim brake). My main question is how does the chai stay rear brake perform. Does it get dirty very easily, what is the stopping power etc. Thank you.

[@CharlesOuimet]

That's a good idea! I've actually done a video using my girlfriend bike but it was more of a fun ride. In terms of braking power, it felt just like any other rim brake bikes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJKtd42ebcx5ppo&t

[@alexeysoroka8349]

@@CharlesOuimet that would be awesome. I have a 105 rim brake group set and not sure if going to a brand new disk system would be financially justifiable. Thinking to throw luns and 105 on rim brake and get the rim brake frame set but just can’t find any reviews on with this setup of even similar (performance, pros, cons, total weight etc). Would love to hear from you.

A 170cm crank is probably too long for her :O 0:38 I hate to see the person that that length crank suits. I actually remember watching that knuckle skinning video.

Professional bike fit might be cheaper in the long run and removes the guessing 🤔😊😊

[@CharlesOuimet]

That is for sure!

[@austinsympson2635]

Looks like her stack height is still to high. Use 60mm -8 degree stem, no stack spacers, test it before cutting the steer tube.

[@CharlesOuimet]

i could indeed swap the stem from positive to negative! Well see in the future

It is very easy. Especially if you already have cables on the bike. Just use them as a reference to cut the new cables. I have good experience with jagwire kits (they include all the little parts, though on the pricey side)

Girls bike your living in the past!!! Specialized did away with the Almira the Tarmac is now one bike for all. Bikes that go down as small as 44cm = unisex bikes. Her winspace in that size is a girls bike SMH
