Velobuild GF-002 Does anybody have the Velobuild GF-002 and can comment on build quality, tire clearance, and actual frame weight?

…The same frame (open mold) is sold elsewhere as an Airwolf or Yao Flying YFR045, although different weights and tire clearances are claimed.

Interestingly, although it’s obviously a totally different frame, the geometry appears to be identical to the Carbonda CFR-696!

Re: Chasing wind-GT20 OR Airwolf YFR045 carbon Gravel frames , any experience ? I asked the same question earlier, got a tip that they are Velobuild GTF-02 frames, there is a thread on that framset in this forum.

Hi All,

I finally finished the build of the my bike.

I'm not totally happy with the feeling of the cable actuated hydraulics brakes because I had to swap the outer cables from the jagwire compression less for a cheap Clarks that were quite more flexible and allow me to fit them through the headset without kinking.

I will give a bit if time testing the bike and if the biting don't improve I will take it to the bike shop to have some advice.

A part from that during the short ride that I did to try all was working fine the bike rides very comfortable.

Hello there, I can fully understand your point.
Using the compressionless Jagwire cable makes a huge difference.
Last year I built a bike for my GF and was not aware of this fact and used cheap outer cables with the steel coil.
Result was an unsatisfying feeling when breaking that needed way too much force. Additionally the ZTTO brake callipers where not working well.
As a result she got an upgrade to Shimano full Hydraulic.

For my new build I went with Jagwire compressionless and made sure there were no tight curves in the routing, which may be challenging for all internal cabling trough the hanbdlebars...
In my case the routing through the Ti frame allowed for smooth bends and the resulting break feeling is very good and quite close to hydraulic disc.
How good the break power is, needs to be confirmed during longer rides.



But don't write off the cable actuated brakes without trying compressionless...

Titanium Gravel bike: PYTitans Sorry for the cross posting...

Since the frame is metal I put the complete build thread under MTB metal frames.   ;)

Here a picture of the finished project.



If you are interested you can find all details in the build thread:

Whats the rear tyre clearance like ?

cheers

Officially 42mm with a 700c wheel, this seems about correct.
My Panaracer Gravelking 38mm measures 40mm wide with my wheels and there is still plenty of space.

Re: Chinese hydraulic brake hose I've never tried these 3rd party hoses before but make sure you use BH90 even in applications that call for BH59. I used BH90 hoses on an old RS505 build and braking power was massively improved compared to the stock BH59 hoses it came with.

Re: Chinese hydraulic brake hose Good to know. I'm mostly worried about how it will handle full internal routing, I don't want to have to redo it for as long as possible.

Re: Velobuild GF-002 Frameset should be arriving Monday!

I’ll make sure to take some photos for all who are interested.

The build is setup around Sram axs xplr 1x etap setup.
