Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame

[Eddy_Twerckx]

How recessed is the top recessed bearing? Can anybody measure? I attached a picture of what I mean. Basically, how far below the edge of the frame does the bearing rest?

I’d say mine looks about the same as that. I don’t have a vernier caliper but to my eye mine looks about .5mm.

AFAIK, these bearings can be found on AliX in 2 heights. P16 & P16-8. From memory, 1 is 1mm taller than the other. TBH, having built quite a few of these now, i think either works, the slack can be adjusted with the headset cap, spacers, removing materials and so on. shims are easier to add than it is to remove material, obviously.
