Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Aeroframe for 1,96cm tall rider (6fot 5inch)
« on: April 16, 2021, 05:34:59 AM »
I would say I know my preferenced geometry. I'm 1,88m tall and I would take the velobuild vbr 099 in size 56. So I think 58 would be right for you. Take a long stem and put some spacers under the stem.
It's possible to make a small bike bigger but it's not possible to make a big bike smaller

How did you try to adjust the headset play ?
I put 0.5 mm of round shims cutted..

I put some Carbon paste on the expander. It looks like that the Expander gets pushed up if you ride on cobblestone for example.
For now it works... but I just ride nice Tarmac so..   Another Option I read about is to put an old cutted Tube over the expander

What do you mean with "0.5 mm of round shims cutted" ?

Finally my first Testride. It took a time because I have to wait for the Wheels..
In addition I have a little Problem with the Headset. I thought i fixed it but after the Testride I got bearing clearance again..

If anybody wants to know..
I took the size 56 and I am 188cm tall, I take the 110mm Stem and the bike fits like a condom. Dont take the 58 and go for the Sizing Chart on their website.

The weight of the Bike is exact 8kg and includes everything you see on the picture. including the fitlock bottle holder on the downtube (small black thing)

I thought it was a good Idea to let the FD cable go through the "Downtubehole" (a bit of engineering skills was necessary) because i can place a barrel adjuster on the Front and in addition I got more room in the Handlebar and Headtube for the rest of the cabling - the Result is that I nearly dont need the Barreladjuster to bring enough tension to the FD  ::) 

The Groupset is a Mixture of SRAM Force/Rival, Zrace and Sensah - works very well and crispy

Can any one explain me why an Ican aero A9 frame is a beter quality than For instance  https://www.championcyclingsell.com/2020-style-carbon-sl7-tarmac-s-work-road-bike-carbon-frame-supper-light-weight-sl7-cycling-bike-frameset-made-in-china-p2972875.html

I think you can get Problems if you import this. Looks like plagiarism to me.
I don't know whether it's be better quality then for example velobuild frames, which are much cheaper, but for me was also a good communication is important.

Look better for a manufacturer that label his own name an his products. Gives me a better feeling.

Please send on some pictures!

Yes the holes for mounting brake calipers shouldnt be threaded. a bolt screws directly into the caliper from below so threads are not needed. look at the pictures in another A9 thread: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3123.0.html

Thanks! Then I am completly fine with my frameset  ;D

Hey my Frame just arrvived very quick. It was send on Tuesday and arrived 2 days later in Germany :o
For the painting I had to wait 4 weeks! So all in all I am super happy.


But just one thing makes me suspicious..


I didn`t see any threads in this holes to attach the rear brake.. is this normal?

I can confirm that the fork that was delivered with the HB017 handlebar has a hole in the upper tube.
I received the frame in size 58 last week but I was wondering that all the spacers and the upper cap of the headset are out of metal and not as usual out of plastic.
Are the spacers with the newer handlebar out of plastic?

And I have another issue, I can’t get the handlebar low enough compared to my other bike because of the height of the headset cap and the necessary spacer for the handlebar.
Is the newerhandlebar lower ?

which Handlebar Stem config you choose?

I've struggled to get a confirmation from him regarding if there's an extra hole in the steerer tube and if the frameset has been sent. He said the frame would be sent out yesterday, but I haven't received any tracking number or confirmation. Maybe he's grown tired of all my questions and e-mails. :D

Hey you have good news?
