Velo Build R-099 Build

[coffeebreak]

He's dremeling the part on the frame, not FD so the whole cable housing can pass thru and then use built-in cable stopper of the FD. On my VB frame though the hole is large enough as it is to pass housing till the FD, no need to dremel. May be 099 is different.

Here’s a build I did for a friend.

Just curious, what are the little things attached to the spokes?

Those are just stickers from the spoke manufacturer Pillar.
He will probably remove them soon.

Yup. The bike had not yet been ridden when I took the pics.

I didnt want to dremel my FD so dremeled some Jagwire cable ends instead, they fitted quite securely and saves 'ruining' your FD.

I mean this part to dremel. At least on my frame it's just compression fit with a little bolt. Unscrew it and it pops out.

I just drilled mine out so I can now pass the outer through it. I initially drilled it with a 4mm bit, then a 5. I found upon installing that there is small lip on the inside of the frame that was fouling the cable. To remedy this I used a small file to add a little chamfer to the inside of the cable guide. It's a tight but perfect fit.

I’m trying to install my new Shimano 105 12 spd crankset. I’m using the ztto thread-together bottom bracket. It seems like it’s making the bb too wide for the cranks. Have anyone successfully installed Shimano cranks with this bb?

[zaphodbeeblebrox]

I used this ztto bb: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33023047002.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.81.25791802wy98FE

Worked with R7000 105 cranks so it should work with the new ones too? Did take quite a bit of force to get it completely seated.

[Bikeoiv]

Yeah, that’s the same I have. I’m missing 0,5-10mm for the safety pin to drop..

Hard to tell from the pictures. Did you try taking the crank arm bolts out completely and the little lock clip off and then pressing on the crank arm? Maybe it's a little tight or something.

Yes, it works when the crank is off!

[Bikeoiv]

So after a lot of trial and error I ended up switching to a Shimano bb and it worked

[coffeebreak]

Dang, so the ZTTO bb is actually wider than Shimano BB?

[St0mpB0x]

It wasn't because some seals were left stuck on the base of the crank arms? Sometimes there is a really low profile seal from a shimano BB install which gets stuck with grease to the crankarm/spindle. On the photo of the non-driveside crankarm it looks like it is sitting quite far out from the face of the bottom bracket.

[Bikeoiv]

No, I had it in and out multiple times. Made sure the bb was fully screwed in and drive side all the way through. With my last crank I lost the lock nut multiple times. So I installed the old one to see how far through the spindle went, and the case was the same. I just didn’t know before the Shimano security pin on the new crankset
