Re: Velobuild GF-002
Hi y'all, I was wondering whether there are already some reports on the robustness or longevity of the GF 002 frame? Currently I am undecided whether to go with the "classic" carbonda 696 or the somewhat more modern GF 002. looking at the connection of seat stays to seat tube on the 002, it looks kind of flimsy. Any opintions on how this might hold up? Cheers! August 16, 2022, 05:32:18 AM |

Re: Race oriented gravel frame?
VeloBuild just announced a new CX frame. Tempted to switch over from my newly built GF-002 to the new CX-002 for the more race oriented geometry. http://www.velobuild.com/products/cx-002-carbon-fiber-disc-brake-cyclocross-frame-1 September 22, 2022, 10:58:41 AM |

Re: Pulled the trigger on the Elite Wheel DRIVE wheelset
What about braking performance of 50V? Have you ever tested Fulcrum/Campagnolo AC3 brake track to have a comparison? Hi there, I personally haven't tried it, as I ride disc but customer feedback has been positive. The rim version of the wheelset is a bit heavier than rhe disc version, as it it built-up more to accommodate a robust brake track. It has a siped surface, which is designed to improve braking in wet conditions. Hambini has also commented on its effectiveness. Stating: "The rims feature a grooved brake track. This has a dramatic effect on braking efficiency and it is very noticeable, especially in the wet. The initial bite with the Elite wheels is extremely good. The system is similar to the brake track found on the Farsports wheels." I hope this helps December 12, 2022, 10:19:34 AM |

Re: Velobuild GF-002
Depends a lot on the frame, especially on the rear triangle. GF002 doesn't have extreme angle towards the brake caliper once cable exits the port. There's a slight curve but that's it. I'd argue the many tight bends and potential forcing of the brake housings through the handlebars and then the headtube has a much more adverse effect on braking performance than the brake cable exit for a fully internal frame April 13, 2023, 08:45:39 PM |
