Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 Also going to use the FSA NCR stem to get the 140mm I need, so I’ll be waiting a little bit longer sadly!

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! It looks like you can just buy the top cap for $7, maybe it's worth it to have no headache...

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! from FSAProShop, Ordered it Friday morning, got it Monday morning.... Kind of shocking how fast!

From Washington to North Carolina. Hoping once I get this I can slap this front end together!

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! yes, that is what i have ordered and i think it would work. I can't imagine needing anything else. You pretty much won't use anything from your original headset (minus the bearings) and use all the items in that headset bearing kit.

The only variable is if the bearing is sitting too low in the frame, but I won't know until I get all the bits in place!

It will come with 3 spacers, but you can just throw them out :)

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! Perks of working from home; ripped open the package and put it all together:

If you use the bearing that comes with the bike, it sits a little higher. That is the photo I have. If you swap out the bearing for the one that comes with the headset, it sits lower, less than 2mm. It still does have a space, but isn't as much of an eyesore as this looks.

I don't think it's a perfect option, but for me, it is the only way I can run the stem length I want on this bike, so I'm going to roll with it. I'm sure I could figure out a different bearing solution, but I know that this will work and be 100% safe.

If I find time to head back into the garage I'll take a better photo farther away of the FSA bearing with the FSA C spacer and top cap.

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! Who am I kidding, I got time. i can't fit my 2mm allen key in between, maybe a credit card? First time using this type of stem setup/bearing cap, so not sure if this is normal or not.

Re: FSA/Vision ACR Stem Users UNITE! Got back from the local bike shop and he said the gap was pretty normal, so it “works”!

No rush to get it back but looking forward to when it does!

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 I can barely clear 32mm Maxxis Refuse on the front fork, the tire on the Fulcrum rims I had was a true 32mm on the calipers. It barely had 1mm of clearance on the height. Good enough for road use (for me anyway) but anymore than that may be sketch. The rear had enough clearance.

I don't know if I would try and put a knobby CX tire on here...

Re: Lexon GFX Carbon Gravel Bike Frame Build Yup, I just got an email this morning from AMEX that I was fully refunded, so this chapter can now be closed. Not sure what I will do with this frame now though, maybe just leave it as a reminder to always use AMEX for these types of purchases!
