Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame

From last year, i dont think I posted these.
Very nice frame, wants to go fast, and compliant / elegant. Wheels that deep in a cross wind in the mountains though... meh.

Wrong thread... -> 168

You have to wait a really good offer from elite wheels and also coupon from Aliexpress. During 11.11 there were 100 USD coupons.

Yes, thats exactly how it went. 11.11 coupons + coins + the usual tax adjustment (-19% at Checkout)

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! Has anyone tried the Darevie Aero baselayer (Rule 28 inspired)?

Looks quite interesting, but the sleeves seem a bit too long to be worn under a short sleeved jersey.

Re: Build (problems?): Steerer tupe cutting

Thanks to all of you!
For any future projects: is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I already used a guide (from AliExpress  ;D ) . The cut itself was very good and offcourse i already was quite careful.
Now i sure will do some cutting tests with the left over piece of the steerer tupe.

you can prevent these tearings on the outside by cutting a millimeter deep circle around the whole steerer.
And simply cut without much force and make sure when you almost finish the cut that the two parts don't "break" apart

Hi!
Fairly close to pulling the trigger on the 268. Does anyone know if the expander plug and compression ring design is identical to the recalled one on the SL7?

No, its velobuilds own design. (if that's a good or a bad thing, that's up for you to judge. I used a Deda 70mm Expander and a modified compression ring from the SL8 on my VB)

Thanks, so the new plastic/injection moulded compression ring for the SL8 fits in the 268?
no, does not fit.
you either gotta buy a new top headset bearing (with the same ID as the SL8) or you gotta lathe or sand down the SL8 compression ring to make it fit.
and you might also need quite a few microspacers as well.

But you can also stick with the setup that VB supplies, people don't seem to have these issues anymore.

Thank you RoadieMKD for reply.

I've contacted Elitewheels via Aliexpress app and they said if i use "Sellers Shiping method" (pay more 75,98€) then i will not pay VAT and also the delivery is faster. Yes, i have a discount code that will save 120$ on orders over 599$, so in total i'll pay 505,3$ for this 65mm wheelset (aniversary discont sale included).

About tires.. Rear i use 28mm tire, in front i have 25mm, continental gp5000 (not tubeless, i'll use RideNow TPU superlight innertubes). This Elite Edge rim width is 28mm, can i use my 25mm tire on this rim with no problems?

25mm GP5000 non TL works perfect on the edge rims. It measures 27.4mm on that rim (which would be perfered aero-wise compared to the 28mm, which might measure closer to 30 and bulge out on the rim)

mounting the GP5000 25mm is also no problem. No need for tire lever when mounting and removing (I also use TPU tubes)
