Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild VB-R-066 Rim brake (not dead yet?)
« on: March 08, 2023, 10:42:32 PM »
Looks like my rim is 25mm wide so not sure if 28mm will fit since the pads are somewhat close.  I'm using ultegra 6800 which apparently shimano says should use 25mm or less tire but can use 24-28mm carbon rim.

I don't have a caliper tool so not that accurate, but looks to be about 26mm wide.

On my 066, the front brakes easily fit GP5000 28mm and the rear brake looked fine too though I haven't ridden it outside and only on the trainer.  I'm on some 7-8 year old farsport rims.

For my 066 frame I wanted a midnight blue color but they told me they don't have one and referred me to the brighter metallic blue which I was okay with.

Chris told me 56cm previously so maybe that 1 inch changes the sizing enough.  Should be okay.

Had a bike fit on my 56cm Canyon Ultimate CF SL disc and was told I round my lower back a little but the sizing was correct for me (~5'11 179cm) and with slightly longer torso I would be good with a longer stem or else I'd be too scrunched up so 54cm 168 likely not an option and I'll choose the 56cm 168 in the future.

I'm still trying to figure out 54 or 56 as well (~5'11).  Gonna get a bike fit to help.

Matt Stephens from GCN is ~6ft tall and looks ok on a 54 SL7.
