Hey guys.. how are going your builds?
I put it the sl7 seatpost cover that I read in some posts. It fits perfect.

I got one as well and they fit great. Most economical original SL7 part one will ever find? lol

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.

Is the sensor loss universal, or just some units, or some sensors? 

I still feel like all of the options are crap.  Garmin 'just works' but maps, navigation and rerouting are all crap, and UX is prehistoric.  Wahoo Bolt V2 is laggy, they still haven't fixed their underreporting of power and work done (kJ) on anything other than Favero on any of their products & deny the issue exists, battery drain is insane when stopped or GPS is lost, no sleep mode or screen sleep mode, screen visibility worst in class. Karoo 2 - bad battery life and bugs galore - including by the sound of it a game breaking one with sensor loss.

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.

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.

Yea, I would be better served replacing calipers and rotors (the Juin Tech GT with finned rotors are great, but overkill)

Of course lighter wheels always help! Probably a 1/4 kg savings to be had there :)
Think my wife will concur?

haha the upgraded wheels needed to be positioned as a safety precaution.

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.

Geometry is almost the same, you have some differences like 10-20mm in some part.

How much did you pay for the seatpost cover? I see 40USD on alx, I find it quite expensive for a little plastic part.

I ordered the Specialized one from my LBS and it was under $10 (part # SL7 SEATPOST WEDGE COVER - S204900003)

And here is the final build.

The decals/logo are my own design and I painted the frame at home myself: 3 coats of Dupi-Color Special Effex metallic paint and 3 coats of Spray Max 2K clearcoat. Wanted a little sparkle and protection while maintaining the "raw carbon" showing through.

The Hyper 65 wheels are intended for my Winspace T1500, but these will do until my other wheels arrive.

7.8kg without the PowerTap P2 pedals

SOOO GOOD

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
