Re: Velobuild VB-R-066 Rim brake (not dead yet?)

Cool. Well I went out for a proper ride yesterday and very happy with the 066. The only issue was seat post moving a bit (I’ve used carbon paste and torqued correctly, so not sure what more I can do at the mo).

Had the same problem with my OG-Evkin CF-025 which appears to be the same mold.  Used a small piece of this type of fiberglass mesh tape between the wedge and the seatpost combined with carbon paste and no more problems.

Re: Stem for vb-r-066 Unfortunately I can not comment for the VB-R-066.
But I have fitted a Deda Superbox DCR system to my VB-R-099 and I believe others here have fitted FSA ACR type headsets and stems (No. 69 or No. 55) to other Velobuild frames.

Re: Stem for vb-r-066 I bought this for friends recently. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007557399904.html
It's cheap, it works.
you can probably ask VB to ship bars with exit points left and right of the stem area, instead of in the middle of the stem area, that way you route through the bar, under the stem, and into the frame. If not, worst case, you just route the hose externally, then under the stem, and into the frame.

Re: Stem for vb-r-066 I have a VB-R-066. I first built it up using this upper headset assembly from Ritchey. It enables the hydraulic hoses to enter the frame via the headset dust cover, so you can use a separate handlebar and stem. Great if you want to reuse existing parts you have, or if you want to easily swap handlebar and stem for fit reasons without cutting any hoses. It comes with the upper bearing, compression ring, and dust cover only (no lower bearing or spacers): https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/ritchey-upper-logic-e-comp-cartridge-drop-in-1.5-is52-28.6-steering-system/137710158/p

Later I swapped to this Kocevlo integrated handlebar, trading function for form: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006561735597.html

Both fit the frame. I had to sand the Kocevlo dust cover a little to prevent rubbing on the frame after tightening everything down, but that was straightforward.
