Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: VeloBuild VB-R-068 Build thread

Thanks. I have bought one and I have just finished building it up. I will post my build up soon.
Yes for the headset I ran into the same issue, needed to build 3 shims, Chris claims it doesn’t need but it was binding very badly if you want to tighten it.
I do not have issues with the seatpost but I have questions about the seat clamp. I am running 7mm seat rails and it does like to clamp it tight. I am trying to figure out if this is for 9mm or 10mm oval rails? Right now I have wrapped my 7mm rails with one layer of electrical tape and it seems to holding tight.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Ztto Mechanical Hydraulic disc caliper

It looks like Ztto has a new mechanical hydraulic disc. Looks different from the old ones and not the same as the ZRace ones.

Looks like a new design and new pads.
Anyone have tried these or feedback on them?

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Xoss/iGPSport, other computer companies?
« on: September 06, 2021, 02:41:26 PM »I had igpsport i618, it works fine but i changed it because i needed a navigation.
In the last software upgrade there are add maps. But it have low space memory and they have introduce the new i620.
Now I use X-Plova X5evo
https://www.xplova.com
After 1 year to use, its a good compromise to quality price.
Navigation is very good, Free maps and is simple to create route to follow on the website and download to device by phone hotspot
Is it me or does some of the X-Plova looks like rebadge iGPSport?

Nice build. I was thinking of picking up this frame. Does the cable housing also run internally or does it stop at the entry point?
For the plastic wrap on the seatpost is it just one layer of plastic? Does the seatpost come textured already?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Velobuild Handlebar
« on: August 26, 2021, 01:43:54 PM »
I was wondering if anyone have experience with Velobuild handlebars? I was looking at potentially at HB-009 or one of their integrated ones (HB-05 or HB-06) but not sure about quality and flex. Any feedback or other recommendation?
