VeloBuild VB-TT-023

[mattgolt]

That would be awesome, i am searching for it.

I just measured with a caliper. The outer diameter of the basebar is 23,8mm.

Inner diameter of the leap grips is 24,1mm. I used one layer of electrical tape to adjust and make them hold correctly

All parts have finally arrived and got the rig set up. This is what it looks like pretty much in race set up (1st race is IM Lanza so front mech needed, but will be removed for flatter races).

Made a DIY BTA bottle cage plate from an AliEx carbon plate and a 3 slot bottle age adaptor common in MTBing.

The Trek Speedconcept Gen 3 (disc brake) specific downtube bottle doesnt work on this frame as it comes, however I'll find a way to mod the that bottle cage to fit. That or use the Orbea Ordu OMX or Cervelo downtube bottle.

Hello!

Beautiful build! I have the same frame as you in size S. Can you please tell me if you have more reach with the winosports extensions? I'm hesitating on buying it  also the 37cm basebar...

Do you know if there are any alternatives for a integrated base bar (stem and base base in one piece)?

Thanks,

José.

I've received a PM about the toolbox I have designed 3d printed for the VB-TT-023. If anyone wants the .stl file to print it yourself, feel free to download in on thingiverse:

I suggest using PETG for this box, as it offers flexibility aswell as heat stability and UV resistance. Both pieces can be printed without support if you flip them to the flat side in your slicer. You'll need two M5 screws to attach it to the frame. Sadly using this toolbox, you will not be able to mount bottlecages in the frame correctly any more. I haven't found a way yet to circumvent this, but if I do I'll post a new revision.

Thanks a lot for this service!

If you have the time and inclination, could you make a second version, extending up to the second threaded hole, so the box has more volume?

Awesome!
Cautionary tale. 3d printed stuff tends to fail catastrophically in ways injected molded plastic doesnt. I had a 3d printed box behind my seat post on my propel, it worked until it just exploded. So, people, when you use 3d printed parts, be mindful of print orientation / layer lines, material fatigue, stress points, how to reinforce a print with non 3d printed parts like inserts, mesh and so on. Don't be like me, basically. Especially those who just DL free STLs from Thingiverse and send them to print without giving it much thought.

Hi Riders!
I bought and assembled VB-023-TT with standard cockpit. And I have a problem: the stem don't fixed cockpit properly.
Have anybody same problem? What torque you applied to stem bolts?

Princeton wheels with mechanical shifting and mechanical disc brakes? Dude...

Can anyone measure the horizontal and vertical diameter of the handlebars against the stem?
I suspect that my handlebars are too small - 31.6mm vertical and 31.3mm horizontal. That's why the stem doesn't grip them properly.

Just for information, I ordered my TT-023 on the 27th of March and it arrived yesterday (31st).  That's just FOUR days, to the UK (with no additional taxes/duty to pay)

Now I just have to decide whether re-use the 11 speed Di2 parts that can be swapped over from my old rim brake bike, or whether to get a new groupset.  I see from the Taipei show that L-TWOO have released a new fully wireless TT brake/shifter!  But so far no sign of any of their TT components shipping to UK.

This can't ship to you? or yoeleo not canada somehow?

Did you check panda podium? (I didnt).

Thank you Serge,

Not on Panda Podium, yet.  I saw the Canadian advert, but was particularly interested in the new brake/shifter, hoping that it will combine with the tt-bar shifter to give dual position shifting.  I cannot see anything TT related on the L-TWOO website (yet).

I had another look at transferring my Shimano set up and it looks like it will be a pain (as it is now!) Especially keeping the junction box internal.  So I will probably go down the SRAM two pairs of blips route with the RideRever (Triva hydraulic TT) brakes. Anyone any feedback on those?

How many kmh add hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting?

[Hmpf]

Doneeee. Took longer than expected as I fiddled a lot with the cockpit. Very happy overall but the list of wanted/unnecessary updates is long

@mattgold: It looks like you have 150mm spacers under the trailers. Is this still stable or does it wobble a lot under load?

I think you mean the stack towers for the cockpit, and not the bottle stack?
No issues with this setup at all. But I wouldn't ride it without the bridge between the stack towers.

I’m running the RideRever Trivia’s and 2 pairs of blips. Works a-ok for me, no complaints really. Don’t have a huge amount of time outdoors logged on them but they seem to do their job.
Will be doing Lanzarote IM on it in 6 weeks time so they will really get put through their paces their.
