Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Quote from: cscottride on September 21, 2021, 10:57:25 AM
I recently purchased a VB-R-168 frame, VB 60mm wheels, and 105 disc groupset. It has been coming together nicely, however, I installed the press fit BB and went to install the cranks but noticed a slight rubbing on the chainstay from one of the chainring bolts on the drive side of the crank. I purchased a kit of (10) 1mm spacer rings to hold the crank away from the frame (I hope to only need 2-3 of the spacers). Has anyone else had this issue? Is the method I am using the best option to remedy the situation?

Is it a Shimano BB?

Mine is not using Shimano's BB and I didn't install it by myself, but I remember that the BB came with spacers, and after first ride, I requested the mechanic to move one of the spacers to the other side. What I am trying to say is that BBs with spacers are normal.

Sounds great, you'll have to post a picture!

Not much to see to be honest.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Checking in after 1917km logged on Strava. Everything is still solid. There's no issue whatsoever.

seat post slipped towards the end of a ride, now it seems like its stuck real good in there, didnt hear a crack or anything, any ideas on how to get it out?

Happened few times to me.

Find an eye-height tree branch, or a metal bar. Wrap it with some thick clothes or foams. Hang your bike by the saddle nose. Ensure the wedge is already loosened. Pull your bike down hard or some good yanks.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame My 168 raked more than 9000km outdoor and indoor now. No issues other than creaking headset.

And recently, I've tried to change its attitude. And it worked! Here it is.

Conti Terra Speed 650x35B on Hunt Adventure Sport wheels.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame I'd reply for both @Pigdog and @hazzer19

Thanks!

Based on my direct observation, this frame could actually accept 700x35c, but I could be wrong. Someone mentioned in this thread that they successfully fitted 700x34c Schwalbe slick with some space still.

I decided to get a set of 650b wheels in attempt to clear the toe overlap. On gravel, toe overlap is something I don't want to experience. With 650x35b, it successfully cleared the toe overlap; 700x35c will definitely make it worse.

Is there any space left with 650x35b? Yes. Around 1.5mm to the drive-side chain stay. So, in theory, you could jam in a set of 37mm, if you can find any. But better not. 35mm is the widest you can fit safely. 40mm is definitely a big no.

How it rides on gravel? I haven't actually test it on real gravel yet. Also, they are tubed for now due to Hunt's rim tapes came in a such poor condition. That means that I won't be able to enjoy the full experience even if I ride it on real gravel.

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry It's like joegal said. Use BikeInsights to compare bikes https://bikeinsights.com/compare

If you already have a bike, find the bike model in BikeInsights and compare it to other frames that interest you.

If you don't have any, I suggest for you go to a local bike dealer and let them help you find your size. Remember the model and the size and find it in BikeInsights.
