WinspaceT1550 2nd Generation Frameset
A race-focused carbon frameset with a documented T47 shell, 12 mm front/rear axle spacing, 32c stated tire limit, and routing support for several mechanical and electronic systems.
+
- Official identity
- Winspace T1550 2nd Generation frameset.
- Company context
- Winspace's terms page lists Gotobike Carbon Composite Technology Co., Ltd. at an address in Xiamen, Fujian, China.
- Frame sizes mm
- XS: 440; S: 470; M: 490; L: 520; XL: 550
- Bottom bracket
- T47, internal symmetric width 85.5 mm.
- Brake mount
- Flat-mount disc.
- Groupset routing
- mechanical; Shimano Di2; Campagnolo EPS; SRAM eTap
- Maximum tire claim
- 700C x 32C.
- Axle spacing
- front: 12 x 100 mm; rear: 12 x 142 mm
- Frame weight claim
- 828 g +/- 35 g for an unpainted size M frame.
- Certification claim
- The product page says UCI approved; this is recorded as the manufacturer's statement.
Consider the tradeoffs
- Compatibility implication: the T47 shell and listed axle spacing make this model useful for a standards-first comparison; this does not establish fit with a particular crank, wheel, or headset.
- The 32C figure is a stated maximum, so a buyer still needs to check the actual tire and rim combination against the frame and tire makers' guidance.
Questions worth testing
- Does the intended crank spindle and selected T47 bottom bracket match the exact frame shell?
- Does the intended front and rear wheel use the listed 12 x 100 / 12 x 142 spacing?
- Will the chosen tire measure within the stated clearance on the selected rim?
- Is the proprietary aero seatpost available in the required size and setback?
Scope & unknowns
- No physical frame, geometry, crash-damage, fatigue, or structural inspection was performed.
- Weight, clearance, material, routing, and UCI approval are manufacturer-page claims, not independent measurements or a guarantee about a particular frame.
- Fit, component compatibility, and the condition of any individual item remain unverified.

ELVESEglath ARX Carbon Road Frameset
An all-road carbon frameset listing with a 32C stated tire limit and T47 in its technical table, but a separate accessory paragraph on the same page says BB386. The bottom-bracket discrepancy should be resolved before using this item in a build.
+
- Official identity
- ELVES Eglath ARX frameset.
- Company context
- ELVES describes its own carbon-frame business and brand history; its official contact page lists a Shenzhen, China support address.
- Material claim
- Full carbon, Toray T800 plus T1000.
- Frame sizes cm
- 46; 49; 52; 55; 58
- Bottom bracket as listed
- technical_frame_section: T47 threaded bottom bracket.; introductory_accessory_paragraph: BB386 24R Shimano-compatible or BB386 29R SRAM DUB options.; technical_accessories_section: T47-24R Shimano, T47-29R SRAM DUB, and T47-30R Rotor options.; status: The page contains conflicting BB386 and T47 references; do not treat the supplied BB standard as resolved.
- Brake and axle claims
- brake: Flat mount disc.; rear_thru_axle: M12 x 1.0 x 170 mm, described as 142 mm spacing.; fork_thru_axle: M12 x 1.5 x 126 mm; spacing is not stated in the captured specification.
- Maximum tire claim
- 700C x 32C.
- Maximum rotor claim
- Up to 160 mm.
- Groupset claim
- Di2 and eTap compatible.
- Certification claim
- The page lists EN 14766 and ISO 4210-6:2023; this is the manufacturer's statement.
Consider the tradeoffs
- The page's internal BB386/T47 conflict is a concrete purchasing risk because the bottom bracket must match the frame shell and crank.
- The product is potentially useful for a compatibility checker because it demonstrates why a single-page spec should be checked for internal consistency.
Questions worth testing
- Can ELVES confirm in writing whether the exact Eglath ARX size uses a T47 or BB386 shell and which BB is included?
- Does the selected crank match the confirmed shell, spindle, and BB option?
- What is the fork's front-hub spacing and axle standard for the exact frameset?
- Will the intended tire measure within the 700C x 32C stated maximum?
Scope & unknowns
- No assembly or bottom-bracket fit test was performed; the conflicting manufacturer text remains unresolved.
- No physical, fatigue, crash-damage, or structural safety inspection was performed.
- Certification and material statements are manufacturer claims and do not establish the condition or safety of an individual frame.

ELVESVanyar Pro UCI Disc Frameset
A full-carbon disc road frame listing with a BB386 press-fit shell, 142 mm rear spacing, and 30C stated tire maximum. The page identifies electronic drivetrain compatibility and two BB choices.
+
- Official identity
- ELVES Vanyar Pro UCI Disc 2024 frameset.
- Company context
- ELVES describes its carbon-frame business and lists a Shenzhen, China support address.
- Material claim
- Full carbon, Toray T800 plus T1000.
- Frame sizes cm
- 47; 50; 53; 56; 59; 62
- Bottom bracket
- Press-fit BB386; stated shell ID 46 mm and width 86.5 mm.
- Bottom bracket options
- BB386-24R for Shimano 24 mm; BB386-29R for SRAM DUB
- Groupset claim
- Di2 and eTap compatible; the description also refers to modern electronic 12-speed groupsets.
- Brake and axle claims
- brake: Flat mount disc.; rear_thru_axle: M12 x 1.5 x 163 mm, described as 142 mm spacing.; maximum_rotor: Up to 160 mm.
- Maximum tire claim
- 700C x 30C.
- Frame weight claim
- 870 g for size 47, unpainted and without metal parts.
- Certification claim
- The page says UCI code 44895, EN 14766, and ISO 4210-6:2023 approved; these are manufacturer-page claims.
Consider the tradeoffs
- The BB386 shell and named BB choices give a more specific compatibility starting point than a frame page that only says 'press fit'.
- The 30C stated tire maximum is narrower than the 32C limits listed for the other frame candidates; compare the rider's actual tire and use case before shortlisting.
Questions worth testing
- Does the selected crank use the Shimano 24 mm or SRAM DUB BB option listed by the manufacturer?
- Does the rear hub match 12 x 142 mm spacing and the required rotor interface?
- Does the tire maker permit the chosen tire/rim combination and does it fit within the frame's stated 30C limit?
- Is the correct proprietary seatpost length and 12 mm or 25 mm offset available?
Scope & unknowns
- No physical frame, geometry, crash-damage, fatigue, or structural inspection was performed.
- UCI/ISO and weight statements are manufacturer claims; they do not verify an individual frame or substitute for damage inspection.
- The page gives a 30C stated maximum, not a measured clearance for every tire/rim combination.

A disc wheelset with 46/54 mm front/rear profiles and three named freehub choices. The product page reports a 21 mm internal width and a 25–47 mm tire-size range, while calling 25–28 mm the optimized range.
+
- Official identity
- Lún HYPER D45 Disc Brake Wheelset.
- Company context
- Winspace's terms page lists its operator at an address in Xiamen, Fujian, China.
- Rim profile
- front_depth_mm: 46; rear_depth_mm: 54; front_external_width_mm: 27.6; rear_external_width_mm: 27.8; internal_width_mm: 21
- Tire claims
- manufacturer_optimized_range_mm: 25-28; listed_minimum_mm: 25; listed_maximum_mm: 47; bead_and_setup: Tubeless-ready; clincher compatible
- Brake type
- Disc.
- Freehub options
- Shimano 11/12-speed and SRAM 11-speed; SRAM XDR 12-speed; Campagnolo 10/11/12-speed
- Spokes
- 21 front and 21 rear; carbon spokes.
- Wheelset weight claim
- 1427 g +/- 25 g.
- Pressure note
- The page lists 120 psi max and says not to exceed the maximum pressure printed on the tire.
Consider the tradeoffs
- The separate optimized and maximum tire ranges are useful for a comparison tool, but they are not equivalent claims: the buyer should use the chosen tire maker's compatibility and pressure instructions.
- The listing exposes freehub choices but the captured specification does not state hub spacing; confirm the exact axle fit with the frame and order configuration.
Questions worth testing
- Does the intended cassette match the selected Shimano, XDR, or Campagnolo freehub?
- What front and rear axle spacing does the exact wheel configuration use, and does it match the frame?
- Is the actual tire/rim combination approved by both tire and wheel makers?
- What is the tire's own pressure limit, even if the rim page lists 120 psi?
Scope & unknowns
- No wheel was mounted, measured, ridden, or independently impact-tested.
- Weight, tire range, pressure, and component descriptions are manufacturer claims.
- The product page does not provide a captured hub-spacing specification; compatibility remains incomplete until that is confirmed.

- Certification claim
- Product page says UCI approved and CE certified; this is recorded as the manufacturer's statement.
- Spokes
- 4.5 mm carbon spokes; 21 front and 24 rear.
Consider the tradeoffs
- The page gives enough interface details for a first-pass fit matrix, but the selected freehub, rotor, tire, and frame spacing still need to be checked together.
- The maximum compatible tire and recommended tire range differ; do not reduce the recommended range to the listed maximum.
Questions worth testing
- Does the exact cassette fit the selected Shimano or XDR freehub?
- Does the frame use 12 x 100 mm front and 12 x 142 mm rear spacing and Center Lock rotors?
- Is the selected tire within the maker's recommended range and the frame's own clearance?
- Does the combined rider, clothing, and carried load stay within the maker's stated rider limit?
Scope & unknowns
- No wheel was mounted, measured, ridden, or independently impact-tested.
- Weight, compatibility, rider limit, and certification are manufacturer claims.
- The rider limit is not a full system-weight figure; the page does not establish a complete bike-plus-gear limit.

FARSPORTS / 方远FARSPORTS 2026 C5 Wheelset (C Series)
The 2026 C Series configurator offers a C5 all-rounder wheelset with a hooked tubeless-ready rim, disc/Center Lock interface, and several freehub choices. The rendered official listing omits several C5-specific dimensions, so it is a candidate for a spec-completeness check rather than a fit recommendation.
+
- Official identity
- The FARSPORTS 2026 C Series page offers a selectable C5 (All-Rounder) Wheelset Set.
- Company context
- FARSPORTS' official Chinese site identifies its C Series and lists an Xiamen, Fujian contact address; its company page describes carbon-wheel design and manufacture.
- Spokes and bearings
- The listing describes the C Series as steel-spoke wheels with standard steel bearings and Alpina Ultralite aero spokes.
- Brake and rim claims
- Disc brake, Center Lock, tubeless-ready hooked rim.
- Spoke count claim
- 21 front / 24 rear with 2:1 lacing stated on the listing.
- Freehub options
- Shimano 11/12-speed HG; Micro Spline 12-speed; SRAM XDR 12-speed; Campagnolo 11/12-speed; Campagnolo N3W 13-speed
- Variant options
- C4 climbing-focused; C5 all-rounder; C6 aero-focused; mixed front/rear combinations
- Unreported in captured listing
- C5 rim depth; inner and outer rim width; tire-size range; front/rear axle spacing; wheelset weight; rider/system weight limit
Consider the tradeoffs
- A configurable range can support riding-style comparison, but a model label alone is insufficient for a safe frame/tire/cassette match when core dimensions are not visible.
- The listing's freehub selector and C5 label are useful prompts; missing dimensions should remain unknown until the exact configuration is confirmed.
Questions worth testing
- What are the exact C5 front/rear rim depths, widths, and tire-size limits for the selected configuration?
- What are the exact front/rear axle spacings and which rotor interface is supplied?
- What wheelset weight and rider or system limit apply to the exact C5 build?
- Does the chosen freehub option match the cassette and drivetrain?
Scope & unknowns
- The page's rendered specification area did not expose the C5 rim dimensions, tire range, axle spacing, weight, or load limit during this check.
- No wheel was purchased, assembled, ridden, or independently safety-tested.
- Company and product performance statements are manufacturer claims; no comparison testing was conducted.
