Nice! Have you built it with 160mm or 170mm fork? Have you been riding it? And if you have how does it feel with a coil?

My frame is on its way home.

Update on my 268

Highs
-I love the Mavic thru-axle system. It's quite convenient actually. Being able to keep the axles in place when both transporting the bike and working on it on a mechanic stand is great.

-The bike is both stiff and nimble enough. I can't say there really is any discernible difference in stiffness compared to other bikes. Unless you are truly sprinting or climbing, there will be plenty of other variables in regards to maintaining any set speed.

-Visually I appreciate the frame design. Obviously because it looks like an SL7/Venge. Well rounded proportions. The sloping top tube gives the visual impression of an extreme saddle-to-handlebar drop versus a more horizontal top tube. More exposed seatpost (should?) also means more comfort as the seatpost has the ability to flex. 32c GP5000 tubeless fits no problem.

Lows
-Zero setback seatpost. It's not fully problematic for me, but I had to move my saddle back far more than I'm accustomed to. If this was my only road bike it would most likely be a deal breaker. A non-issue for most folks however.

-7x9 saddle clamp for carbon rails. On my particular clamp when using my AliExpress carbon saddle (7x9 rails), visually it does not appear as if the clamps are fully engaging with the rails. Other 268 owners with carbon saddles have not experienced this, and so far the saddle has stayed put. However, the saddle clamp bolt is now slightly bent from trying secure to the rails. Also a non-issue if you're using 7x7 rails as VB also supplies clamps for that too. Just something to be aware of.

-While the bike as a whole rides better than my previous VeloBuild frames, it does still suffer some from road chatter at the rear triangle. Rough pavement can upset the back end. Thankfully though still far better than my Dengfu R12 and TanTan x38 in this regard. This is completely subjective and anecdotal of course. Over the past few weeks I've made an effort to rotate riding each of my bikes everyday day to get a good feel on the differences and overall riding dynamics.

Closing
It's a great DIY bike at the price point so far. As always, wheel selection and bike fit/position will do most of the heavy lifting. If I could change anything it would be adding more reach to cockpit to offset the zero setback seatpost. Dear VeloBuild: Please make one for me thanks!

What do you think of the speeder SC-48D?
Same frame as the winspace SLC I think.

I'm running a 12 speed cassette with no issues. Check your lower limit screw and also try fine tuning in the app. I have my ER9 tuned using gear protection and optimal shifting for climbing in my small chainring. Though I can shift big/big and small/small no issue.

Also check that your derailleur hanger is aligned properly and that your cassette is seated properly in the freehub. I've noticed 12 speed is a bit more finicky so any little thing out of adjustment can affect shifting.

Worst case scenario is reset all settings using the app and start fresh. Make sure to double check if your RD is properly screwed into the derailleur hanger. Good luck!

It's not a limit issue that I can tell but I will double check. When I back out the screw it will over shift outboard. I can adjust the trim on the 12 cog to go over to the 11 and it will stay there, but it will not shift to the 11 and stay,  I do not have gear protection turned on and it is doing the same in both chainrings up front.  Next stop is the factory reset and redoing the 6th gear calibration.  Or swap back to the 11 speed cassette.  Yes, I use 12 speed chains on all my bikes.

Just to verify, you're on a 12 speed chain right?  ;D

Issues with 12 speed cassettes.  I am having a problem getting it to shift into the last 11 tooth cog on two different wheelsets.  I have backed off the limit screw so much that it has over-shifted on the outboard side so I don't think the limit screw is the problem.  It will actually shift to the 11 and then about 2 seconds later it shifts back up to the 12.  if i hold the button down, it will stay in the 11 but as soon as I release the shift button, it shifts back to the 12.  I did replace the wonky looking narrow/wide type pulley with one from a 6800 ultegra derailleur I had laying around.  That helped shifting all over but the 11 cog is a mystery.  When I use an 11 speed wheel and change it to 11 speed in the settings, it has no issue shifting the entire range.

Those cruz cranks work. I used 142mm. They are extremely small Q, and especially non driver side is very close to the frame but it does fit.
