The wear is also visible on other bib pants but not as bad as on the 7mesh.

Got a replacement one from them, and changed the saddle to another ryet with a lot more smooth surface structure.
Should do the job

Its the first time happening to me.
The bib is quite expensive, as its a 7mesh. They are aware of the problem and suggest a short on top. Luckily they replace it, at least once.

Tomorrow I go for another spin and try some different position on the bike.

I‘ve got a ryet: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvGWV3X

Going to sell it again as it‘s killing my bib shorts :(
Its super comfy but I need something narrow or closed cells on the edges.

Damage was done after 1 ride, 100km on my gravel bike.

Whats the price for a paintjob like this?

How much weight do these electric paints add?

How durable is that finish against scratches and paint chips?

Also interested here. I'd guess it's not much cheaper than the ice crack painting. There I got a price of $300 (not from haideli)

Well... after some days on the 168 I was at a bike fitting.
And guess what, my seatpost/seattube also is out of spec and as soon as tightened it points to the right (standing behind the saddle).
As I did not have an aluminum can available I took some stronger plastic (SD card packaging) in there, 2 to be exact. That should equals almost 0,3 mm.
Lessons learned for me: no more aero posts from velobuild ;)

Well, shimano 10-45 is with smaller gaps, as well as sram 10-44 rival xplr.
If it’s not enough, you have to go 2x in the front.

Some of those welds don't look great. Store is less than a year old.

From the little I know, Ti is not an easy material to work with. Not sure if I'd risk that much money on an unknown vendor for unknown frames.
Any suggestion but walty? And also some cracked frames within this forum.

I like the look of it. Emailed Adapt directly and they said they won’t sell direct to consumer any more. Tavelo sells for $1500. Nich quoted me $2400 for the frameset, with a little more color options than Tavelo but still more than I’d want to pay. If I’m going open mold, I’d like to pick my own color scheme. I wonder if Tavelo would allow one off paint jobs.
Sad one, same here.

Even the FM08-DB looks nice.
Unluckily not a lot of pictures available :/

Anyone got some experience with them?
Found a frame on https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006285866992.html, which offers UDH. Probably you also could ask them to weld it into their frame with 54mm tire clearance.

Ok, I wasn't precise enough.
You are right, the posted frame has 45 mm. They offer a frame with 54 mm: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005479664240.html.

Thanks for your explanation. For me UDH is probably also coming into gravel (sooner or later). And I want to cut down my spares.
I don't care about external routing on the chain stays. I'd like to have internal on the down tube, sufficient for me.

currently on talk with the same seller regarding a frame... about to pull the trigger after correcting everything
Which one are you in? What do you want to change?

Mine are also rubbing, even with bike ahead biturbo.
Got the same on specialized venge before.

Hi Guys, just finished my SRAM Force AXS Etap build. Unfortunately, my right crankarm is hitting the front derailleur slightly. Did anyone else have that problem before? If so, how do I fix it? I'm using the SRAM Dub Pressfit BB. Thanks for any help!
Mine is also super close with a rotor crank.

Ok, my claim was blocked by velobuild.
On the one hand i should try whether the point feels soft, on the other side the engineer said its full carbon. So it's probably only the paint.
Without grinding down, I wont be sure.
