Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Hey guys.. how are going your builds? I got one as well and they fit great. Most economical original SL7 part one will ever find? lol October 28, 2021, 11:30:27 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Inspired by your post. Bike check after 2,449.7 Km. So far so good. A couple part changes after the initial build: - Changed saddle from Specialized Power to a lightweight carbon EC90 model with cut out ~90g (thanks for the review @Carbonazza). Surprisingly comfortable although it has no padding. Not sure if it fits my sit bones like it should but enjoying the weight savings. As a 90Kg rider I feel well supporter on it. Considering putting it on my VB GF01 gravel bike as well https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32921891894.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4ddf4c4dsNjPl5 - Installed a LTWOO UT OSPW. Was concerned about the unsealed ceramic bearings and planned on changing them to regular sealed bearings as soon as I could but they seem to be sealed a bit better than I thought. Haven't spun them after my first somewhat wet road ride yesterday so we'll see how much grime got into them. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003009824917.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4ddf4c4dsNjPl5 On my last ride I noticed quite a bit of flex on my HB01 bars. I think this was in part due to the bar wedge tightening piece becoming a bit loose but also may need to bring down the bars a bit more so they grip more of the fork steerer, or the bars just have too much flex period.

Re: Electronic devices
Is the sensor loss universal, or just some units, or some sensors? I notice that the when on my road bike with a Stages gen 3 PM the connectivity stays strong with the K2. On my gravel bike that has a Stages gen 2 PM though the connection gets interrupted very frequently when pausing and sometimes mid spin. Connectivity with a di2 Ant+ only dongle seems good. I notice that notifications from my phone also aren't consistent and the device often needs to be connected again. Battery life isn't great. Putting into battery saving mode helps but still behind the Wahoo devices. Aside from this happy with the nav and UI and functionality. November 01, 2021, 10:28:59 AM |

Re: 11-11 is coming to AliX!
Yes! But I am reconsidering, as the stock axles are only 80g in total anyways. 80g for both?! That would only be a 7g savings which is more questionable IMO. Also I don't have any experience with carbon TA's. I wonder if there are any issues with bonding of parts coming apart. November 04, 2021, 11:49:34 AM |

Re: 11-11 is coming to AliX!
Yea, I would be better served replacing calipers and rotors (the Juin Tech GT with finned rotors are great, but overkill) haha the upgraded wheels needed to be positioned as a safety precaution. November 04, 2021, 04:14:33 PM |

Re: Electronic devices
carbonazza I'm happy to hear this seems to be resolved for you! but it doesn't appear to be for me I updated to 1.248.1114 the day it came out and then on my ride on Saturday my 2nd gen Stages PM is still seeing drops in connection. I also moved the order of sensor priority for this PM up the list per Support's suggestion. The other gen 3 stages PM on my road bike which is at the top of the priority list doesn't have connection drops. Although connectivity on the different gen PMs is likely different, I didn't have drop in connection when using both with my Wahoo Roam. November 08, 2021, 10:14:56 AM |

Re: Longteng LTK 268-D Frame / velobuild 099/168
Geometry is almost the same, you have some differences like 10-20mm in some part. I ordered the Specialized one from my LBS and it was under $10 (part # SL7 SEATPOST WEDGE COVER - S204900003) December 09, 2021, 10:29:12 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
I think someone on this thread tested the original SL7 seat post on their 168 and it doesn't fit. The rubber seat bolt cover does though
