Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame As an existing (and happy) VB-R-168 owner it's seems that the 268 will be a lighter, stiffer version of the 168 with a zero set-back post. I would also imagine the inside of the frame is 'cleaner' than the 168 given it's produced with a latex bladder.

Seems like this would build in to a really nice bike given how comfortable the 168 is to ride.

I've got no experience with the axle system (and have never actually heard of it until now), so am interested to hear if others see this as a positive.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame If it's any help I'm 5'7" (170cm) and ride a 52 with 400x90 one piece bars and 170mm cranks. Never had an issue with the fit of the bike and have always found it comfortable, with the longest ride I done being around 135km.

I've never had a bike fit so got no idea if what I ride is the most optimal position but it does feel okay.

Hope this helps,

Olie

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame @TCal

I've just sent you a PM on my instal method :)

For the filing, you need to file the inside of the cable stop where the outer enters the stop, I needed to 'open' the hole up on the cable stop so the angle to cable entered wasn't so tight.

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame
Just wheels to figure out 50 to 60mm with internet 21+ and under 700 dollars and under 1600g would be good suggestions welcome.... must have shiny finish preferably no decals as going no logos with the design.


I've got the FarSports Gravel wheels that seem to fit your requirements, 24mm internal width, 30mm external width, 50mm deep, built with Sapim CX-Ray spokes on Bitex hubs, final weight around 1450g and cost around 700 USD. I got them without any internal holes so no need to rim tape to run them tubeless with UD matte, stickerless finish, however you can also get them in gloss and other fininshes. 7,000 km's put on them so far and they've been great!
