Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
the inside looks pretty decently done! is that 3k twill or 12k? that doesnt look like uni at the head tube.

Velobuild is great (or so i read) but how do they send the wrong bearing size?

website says both top and bottom are 1 1/2.

hope they cover the cost to ship those bearings and such. id be unhappy but not pissed.
it also does look very nice. looks pretty shiny too! i notice with a lot of open molds sometimes you dont get a shiny finish that youd see on expensive frames, this looks like a 7/10 while my dengfu was like a 4/10 for shininess. yoeleo would be like a 8-9/10 and a 10/10 would be like a factor one for example.

when you can, can you send a flex test of the handlebar, oz cycles did one with his yoeleo bars where he put his legs on the sides of the front wheel and rocked/flexed the handlebar in the drops.

kinda wish i was in the market for a new frame because the 168 and 177 i cant take my eyes off.

these look like the bearings, just google tarmac sl7 headset size and do a bit of digging.

Thanks a lot! Not sure about the 3k or 12k, not really my field of expertise :).

Managed to find the correct bearing based on measurements of the one that was supplied, seems to be a standard 1,5" bearing.

OD: 52mm
ID: 40mm
Thickness: 7mm
Angle: 45/45

Furthermore I quickly test fitted the SL7 seatpost cover, fits perfectly:

Yes show me a picture - this is the only thing I seem to be missing.

Sorry mine is still in the bike, which is currently hanging in the stand. Closest I could find is this:



Mine was in the bag with headset parts.

Where did you buy your SL7 seatpost cover? Thanks in advance

Ordered mine here: https://www.stouwdam.nl/en/specialized-stp-my21-tarmac-sl7-seatpost-wedge-513
