Winspace LUN Wheels Review by my GIRLFRIEND after 1000 km!

[@ericburgess4995]

I think having Gabrielle on is good for your channel, the average cyclist may relate to her more and she has great personality. Too often cycling turns into competition and this alienates some casual riders.

[@markcavandish1295]

Truth!!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks for sharing eric!!! Will keep that in mind

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks for all the comments to help Gabrielle's position! I just ordered a short-reach 36mm handlebar and 60mm stem. This should now fit her perfectly :) Her currently integrated handlebar/stem from winspace was the shortest option (38cmx85mm) but this is indeed to big for her!

[@d.pelletier5686]

Can you sell me the Winspace handlebar? I need something for my frame that's on the way until Winspace gets their next batch ready in August! ;-)

[@simonpeneau7802]

I knwo this video is "old" but i came in the comment to see if you make one about the size. I don't know if it is the gopro but her bike looks to big for her. For sure a shorter stem would be great. How is it now ? And maybe level up the hood a little, sometime level up them improve comfort and put less stress on the wrist. I found this video because i search for review of the Lun wheels, there are multiple Hyper reviews but not so much on Lun. So after one year, how is the feedback ?

[@MrTuxy]

@@simonpeneau7802 I also was looking for a review on the wheelset. Her bike is too big, look how low the saddle is. A 60mm stem will make the steering very twitchy. You can make a bike that is a bit too small fit but trying to get one that's too big to fit is usually a bad idea.

[@Slickvic968]

Thank you both! Been waiting for this review. Oh by the way, for those who may order these wheels, my advice is choose the express shipping option. I ordered my gf’s Lún’s 4/21/21, free shipping…they are hung up in U.S Customs. I ordered a second set of wheels 2 weeks later, 5/2/21 using the Fedx shipping option, I received that order in 3 weeks, 5/20/21.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Great tip! Free shipping can indeed be taking a longer time

[@BigFudge87]

Hey. Thanks for your review. The moment I saw Gab on the bike I immedeatly thought: "The handlebars look WAY too wide. I wonder if she has any neck or hand issues." I would consider a narrower bar. And by the looks of it MUCH narrower. If you get the arms parallel probably the reach issue gets resolved by just doing that. Maybe have a look at short reach handlebars instead of shortening the stem length. (Looks better imho). Greetings from Germany ;)

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks for sharing man!! Indeed we will look at getting a smaller handlebar. It's already small (38mm which was the shortest option from winspace) but she'd need a 34!

[@godbrother22]

Girlfriend’s a keeper !

[@CharlesOuimet]

HELL YES SHE IS

[@paulstorm86]

You are truly a nice couple! Very decent people

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks a lot man!

WE WILL!

[@brettmuller8128]

Love the review and the vlogs as always, definetly more videos with Gab, may even inspire my wife to start riding again

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks Brett!!

[@guillaumelongchamps7355]

What about the sidewinds ?

[@CharlesOuimet]

45mm works great for her. Wouldn't go deeper because of her weight!

[@sherwin3williams]

Looking to buy the Giant TCR advanced 2 , then after a few months . Probably buy the 45/ 55cm wheelset .

[@CharlesOuimet]

good idea!!

[@MauricioPaiz]

Did the wheels come with the lever thru axles? If not, which ones are you using? To buy the correct ones thanks.

[@CharlesOuimet]

The wheels comes with the right Axle. So quick release if rim brake wheels or thrue Axle if disc

[@lordkambing810]

Hello, nice review. Does the wheels scream/squeal when braking? Thanks

[@CharlesOuimet]

Nope!

[@Notorious_MIG]

Did you get these with the Sapim or Pillar spokes? What's the difference? is it worth it?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Sapim! I can't tell the difference between the spokes. I think the sapim comes with ceramic bearings? not too sure

[@emmanuelacard1195]

Hello, thanks for video. I'd like to know if the wheels are good for the montain? To go up... and down too? Are the rim brakes safety? Thank you.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Yes very good after a full year! Highly recommended

[@CharlesOuimet]

@@persians3650 nah dude, not to worry. Winspace makes very very good wheels. PS : most known brand from the US manufacture in China..

[@Big_M_T]

What size frame is she riding? Does she like the fit and way it feels?

[@CharlesOuimet]

She have the smallest 43cm frame from winspace. With her 85mm integrated stem, it's a bit too long. We'd need a shorter stem, but that would require a new cockpit and re-wire everything!

[@stephenbrowning8664]

Dont skimp on Gabs comfort she deserves a proper fitting bike 😁 she will only develop injuries

[@tonygenovese6239]

Yes she very good for the channel and we need more women to do get into the sport and have there take on stuff I find women need to know how to fix there own bikes so maybe 10:43 she can have a channel just on reviews and repairs 👍👍

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks Tony!!

[@Quivivravelo]

got them will review them asap and they are great.

[@CharlesOuimet]

Nice man!!

[@veloconfort]

Hey Charles, great video again. It great to have both of you in the videos. Please make more, my partner and I like it. Keep going both of you. Funny about the stem, I was thinking “Gab looks a bit stretch out”. Did the saddle incline fixed the hand issue? Quick question about your sunglasses, do they have correction inserts? It looks like there is a lens in the lens (if that makes sense 🤣). Looking forward to the next videos 😉

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks man :) No it didn't fix the issue, the reach is just too long, I ordered a shorter bar and stem for her! Yes I have prescription in my oakley glasses!

[@veloconfort]

@@CharlesOuimet thanks mate. I’ll need to have at Oakley’s glasses for my partner then 😉 See you guys on the next video

[@arnaudseynaeve9266]

For me, the hub ( Hyper ) is really noisy, especially when I compare it to the DTSwiss 240. The advantage is that: when I cross a village, a city, I do not have dreamy walkers crossing the road

[@CharlesOuimet]

yes!! that's a big perks hehe

[@ScuuBdoo]

Charles you are right about Gabs stem length. Her arms are locked out with no bend in them. She must be so uncomfortable. Hey Winspace Bikes hook Gab up with a new cockpit!.

[@CharlesOuimet]

That's the smallest cockpit from winspace already!! 85mm x 38cm. I'll look at a regular bar and stem combo! maybe 34cm

[@lastfm4477]

​@@CharlesOuimet That's the stupidity of all these integrated bars-stems. They look so futuristic - but at the expense of actual bike fit and comfort. You can either look at the bike or ride the bike.

[@stasbrce2497]

Hello, I recently got Lun 45mm and continental GP5000 TL tires. It was imposible to mount the tire by myself. Even with budy it was very hard to mount it. Was it like this with your wheels to?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Hey, yeah GP5000TL are IMPOSSIBLE to mount to be honnest. I hate that tire. I switch to Pirelli Pzero tubeless and I can easily mount them by myself

[@HardiKhu]

Both of my hyper have gp5000 on it, you need technic on mounting those tires

[@adriankok3095]

Cute couple! Hey man! I was wondering I’m 57kg. Is it better to go 45mm instead of 60mm. I am afraid of the crosswind issue. And btw how’s the lun wheel so far? Do they stay true up to this date? Hoping you’ll reply and keep up the good work!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks man!! For your size, I'd definitely go for the 45mm with your weight. Yes they are still very good a year later

Really interesting, just shows you that in an ideal world every bike would be tailor made. What crank size does she use? I heard some bike fitter say that most woman use too big cranks.

yeah we have the shortest handlebar from winspace :( we'll look into going to regular bar & stem combo

[@stephenbrowning8664]

Surely that bike is to large for Gabs and the handlebars too wide as she appears to be over stretching ? Just concerned she could develop strains or injuries. Upgrade !!! Change those handlebars 🤔👍

[@lucthomassen1405]

@@CharlesOuimet I think a narrower handlebar and shorter stem would definitely help with her hand issues, but I would also suggest trying a shorter crank. I have a good friend that switched to a 160mm crank this year. This opened up her hip angle at the top of the stroke, allowing her to reach forward more easily. Maybe this would negate the need for a shorter stem.

Handlebars are so wide 😬

[@astrayagrarian]

If you felt faster simply because of a wheel change, I hate to inform you but you should really focus on your fitness/conditioning instead of worrying on getting some carbon wheels that may be a couple hundred grams lighter, lol.

[@CharlesOuimet]

about 500g lighter for easier climbing and more deeper rim, so at 40kmh the aero gains are quite a lot compared to shallow aluminum wheels. Maybe 1.5-3km/h faster for her same power output

well if you're not interested in wheels from china you can always spend 5G on a pair of lightweights

[@CharlesOuimet]

John, basically most of the wheels and frame are made in china these days. When you buy a mainstream brand you pay for the marketing expenses. Winspace have their own factory and produce for some north american brands. When you buy direct from them, there is no middle man so you save money for same-like performance

[@LR6092]

It's easy to say that when you don't have the money for them. I just got the lun 45s and they're legit.
