Re: Unreadable Topic: "VeloBuild Headset Play Issue" Hi everyone - We wanted to share a quick update and let you know we have been listening to your feedback and have designed a new c ring. The new design has a small cut out that allows for a better grip on the steerer to take place once the headset is compressed.

For those that are having issues, please get in touch at info@velobuild.com so we can sort you out with a newly designed c ring. For those that are still using the original or second design without issue, please know you can continue using them without concern!

Re: Workswell WCB-G 358 I have almost finished my build. just need to set up my handlebar and shifters to my exact position. (also need to set up tubeless, but needed to wait for other valves...)

I painted the frame myself and am quite happy with the outcome.
Ultegra 8170 di2, (Gearing: 44-11/34)

Re: Carbon Road Bike Wheelset 700C Princeton Disc Brake Clincher Wheels UD Glos I would not advise purchasing copies, the manufacturers are less concerned about creating a solid product that is enjoyable to ride and more about creating something that looks like what it is trying to copy.

Seraph Tan Tan FM639 - my build Hi there,

as you may have seen in my previous post, at the end of March I decided to order a Seraph FM639 in a custom color.

The decision was taken mainly for 3 reasons:
1) Geometry
2) I don't like aero nor dropped seatpost
3) and last but not least I have the Seraph GR029 since end of 2020 and I am very happy with it.

The communication with the seller was excellent and replies very prompt via Aliexpress messaging tool.
The color definition / translation is a bit different in chinese. I wanted a "Metallic" sparkling color finish, I realised they call it glossy finish. At the end the best is to go through their instagram or homepage pictures and send them a screenshoot of what you want.
The painting took a bit longer than expected but the seller was always quick in answering my questions about the status.

Finally last week the frame arrived and I started the buildup.
I ordered from them as well the integrated cockpit, seatpost with 0° setback that where included in the post, plus through axles, a garmin mount and a spare hanger.

I decided to go with a Shimano 105 di2 (12s - 50/34 - 11.34) groupset. The idea is to get a 11-36 when available, possibly a light version.

- Elite SLT Disc wheels 40mm deep and 29mm wide
- Schwalbe One tubeless tires 30mm wide
- Mixed 6D saddle (might be changed...)
- SPD mountain bike double sided pedals

The build went very smooth even for a "beginner" like me thanks to the help of my boyfriend. Only 1 point where I had to be a bit patient. First of all I ordered some Internal Housing Damper 6mm foam sleeve which I put on the rear hydraulic cable to avoid rattling at a later stage. The hydraulic cables are very sturdy and the most difficult part is the routing through the cockpit.
One point in favour is that the frame has some nice metal spacers where there is space at the front for the cables. The most important point is to pass the cable through the handlebar in the same end position. I did not in the first time and the cables tension would rotate the handlebar. Once rerouted the problem was gone.

The bike weighs 8.3kg with garmin mount, pedals and bottle cages in a size 56 frame. As from specification the frame has space for a 28mm tyre. As you can see from one of the pictures 30mm fit as well in this case, but not much space left.
It really rides well and feels quick  8) . The only things I will have to change are the saddle (the position is different compared to the old bike and does not work).

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets Got quoted $559 for the eR9 group shipped to the US. Not terrible, but I’d probably wait still.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets If you buy a sample directly from Alibaba (not aliexpress) you can get the ERX carbon set for ~610 USD shipped.

Re: Yoeleo R12 & SAT C50 PRO Wheels - Revamped and Refreshed Just to add one more data point to this conversation; I got my R12 at the end of last year and it's been a flurry of issues with it since then:
  • They didn't include a cable stop for mechanical front derailleurs, which they later shipped and delayed my build
  • The handlebar/stem was failing to secure properly to the steerer tube which caused it to loosen up while riding (Scary sh*t!). I've built quite a few bikes and I was pretty confident that this wasn't human error, I later took it to a shop and they confirmed it. It was a long back and forth with Yoeleo's customer support that took months! They kept sending small parts for me to try out like the compression plug, steerer tube adapter, and stem bolts which didn't fully fixed the issue, the handlebar still loosened up but not as frequently.
  • Since they were dragging their feet and refusing to replace the handlebar I had to take the loss and bought a handlebar from a different brand. I still had to buy an ST1 stem from them (which they offered at a slight discount   ::)) because the integrated cabling system doesn't play nicely with anything else
  • The bike works fine now which proves my point that there was an issue with that particular handlebar/stem. They still refuse to accept that.
  • I also discovered that the clamp that holds the saddle together was wearing out internally; The notches that help keep the saddle from rotating had all but disappeared. I asked them to send a replacement along with the other small parts they they were sending and they told me they would but they never did. When I confronted them about it, they blatantly lied and told me that they did ship it. At this point, I just gave up...

What a massive waste of time and money! I'm so profoundly disappointed because I had previously bought a couple of wheelsets from them and they are really good.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets According to ltwoo store on AliExpress, it's 2x14500 batteries (similar size to AA but different voltage).

I bit the bullet and ordered the groupset off AliExpress, including shipping it :) was $611.50USD after a coupon (JUNE24OT for $24 off) and the sitewide sale on AliExpress
