Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 Should be picking this up in the next 48 hours! I just need to put on a rear mount, I assumed I could bolt the sram one right to the frame like my old bike!

Tell me why it took you local bike shop over a month to complete ? LoL

part of it was my fault, I was hoping the hoses I had on my groupset were long enough, had to source them, then the owner got COVID (two man shop) and ended up shutting down for a week... Took twice as long as I expected but I had other bikes to ride :)

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 Seat may need to go up a tad, but otherwise it's super comfy. Going to head out for a lunch ride and throw some bar tape on it this afternoon if it feels good!

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 Kinda bummed that this Rubino pro 30mm measures 32mm on the calipers and pretty much rubs:

I do it all around the seatpost to ensure the gap is filled

Don’t think I could get it all the way around the seat post, I’ll give it a shot!

EDIT: this setup, going out for a 30 minute ride soon, hopefully it stays put. It's maybe 95%?

EDIT2: No slips, tried to hit all the potholes/manhole covers I could, so lets hope that this the fix...

I tried mounting tubeless 30/32c Specialized Roubaix slicks last night…absolutely no way there were fitting on the front.

EDIT: Probably because the wheels I was using has an inner width of 23 and outer of 31.

I got those too, but no way they would even be close to fitting, They are 35mm on a set of 21.6mm internal width...

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 @slosada I hope this gets resolved, but I think you'd be better off starting your own thread with your experiences.

How about the bb tolerances on this frame? Any creaking with bb86 installed?

My bb86 to GXP has not creaked at all. I only have 158 miles on mine, so take that with a grain of salt if you want, but I would say its A+.

Hi,
Just a question: which head set model did you use?

Thanks

Gigi

I used the FSA 55R 1.5 ACR headset: https://shop.fullspeedahead.com/en/prodotti_1/headset-spares/no-55r-1-5-acr

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Man; instant regret not getting this frame now! Looks great.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 I wish i was easy enough to sell the 177 frame! I too am a little chapped it doesnt fit a 32mm wide tire...

I also don't like the width of the handlebar (says 40cm but it feels more like a 42, reach is a little longer than i expected) and it may be easier for me to just sell the frameset/fork/stems/bar and get the frame that fits my needs instead of just swapping the bar and spending all that money/time in order to still not fit a 32mm tire.

I know it isn't a china frame and its double te price, but I've really been looking at the Black Heart Bike Company Aluminum frame, seems to tick all my boxes too...
