29er / Singlespeed options?
« on: December 01, 2022, 10:51:57 AM »
Are there any open mold manufacturers making a singlespeed hardtail 29er? Preferably with a sliding rear, but I would settle for an eccentric.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / VBR-177 Derailleur Hanger Q
« on: July 17, 2022, 10:45:23 AM »
Hello all -
I've built my VBR-177 and have put about 100km / 600 miles on it. Loving it so far, BUT I am having an issue with the rear hanger.
The 177 has a two-piece hanger / collar situation. It's two pieces, and is held together with a single stainless bolt. This bolt regularly loosens, leading to a creak and eventually the axle coming out of the frame. I've greased it an reseated, and it still came apart.
I've just now put some thread-locker on the screw.
I've included a crude diagram.
So, three questions:
1. Anyone else have and solve this?
2. I'm using the stock thru-axle. Is it threaded through as much as it should be?
3. Mechanically speaking, does this not happen?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Velobuild 177: Gap between fork and headtube?
« on: May 21, 2022, 02:05:34 PM »
Hello all - finally building my VeloBuild VB-R-177.
Dry-fitting the fork into the headtube, I'm seeing a 4-5mm gap between the fork and the head tube, which I am not seeing in other build photos.
I've installed and fully seated the lower compression ring and the lower bearing is fully seated. What am I doing wrong?
See pics, and thanks in advance!
