Not much to see to be honest.Looks great! Thanks for sharing
I took inspirations from Wilier because they look elegant.Sounds great, you'll have to post a picture! I'll have a look at Willier to get some inspiration.
Here's what I've done with my matte black VB R-168, all with white vinyl cuts:
- headtube. I put a logo of a certain band there.
- downtube, upper-side, near the BB. Info about the model of the frame (VB-R-168)
- toptube, near the seatpost. My personal branding.
I am still thinking to put extra details for the fork and seatstays, like Wilier's, to add visibility when riding very early in the morning.
I am also thinking of going down the same route (single base colour + stickers). I have recently found https://www.dyedbro.com/. They sell custom printed frame protectors and have a couple of designs I like. But they can also print something personalised too.Thanks for the recommendation! I'll take a look
These are not particularly small so I am not sure if you had something like this in mind. But I thought I will share it in case someone does look for something similar.
I've installed them on two bikes recently.Yes! Seems like a bit of a design flaw although managed it with a long Alan key.
Didn't you find the top screw of the 160mm front mount being quite hard to tighten without touching the caliper with the key?
With the Jagwire compressionless hose, it is not as easy as hydro, but the braking is surprisingly good.
Cool let us know how well it works. What cable housing are you going to run with it.All good to begin with, had my first ride last weekend and they’re on a similar level to my TRP Spyres on my gravel bike. Won’t win any awards but bring me to a stop swiftly. Feel nice once pads/rotors are bedded in. Ztto sold them with 2x 140mm rotors but I’ve just changed to front to a 160mm so will need to bed in again. All good so far though, seems well built! Built in other Jagwire compressionless

Maybe a bit unrelated, but does anyone know what happened to http://www.xmxdb.com/en/track.asp?How long did it take for you item to arrive? My XDB parcel has been stuck on ‘In Transit to Destination’ for over a week. Thanks in advance
The website stopped responding about a week ago, I received this url with the order of my frame to track the shipping status. All the way from China to Poland the updates came regularly-ish, but since about a week the website is not loading at all anymore. I cannot find any information about a move, but for a technical issue it's taking way too long.
