Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Winowsports NEW Carbon TT Rest Extension Handlebar ARB02 and TT handlebar HB052
« on: March 15, 2025, 09:43:08 PM »
I've been keeping an eye on buying just the base bars in 37cm since I already have the rest of the setup but unfortunately, you are only selling the complete aerobars?

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Something like the Velobuild CX-002 but with wider tire clearance?
« on: December 19, 2024, 11:35:29 AM »
A year ago I put together a bike with a Velobuild CX-002 frame in size 54 and I love it, the geometry works really well for me and I love how good it feels for dirt riding and most light gravel but now I need something that allows for wider tires like 45-47mm. What would be the closest to this frame?

My only other experience with a gravel frameset is the Ican Xgravel (early model with external cables) which feels too stiff, bouncy and heavy in comparison so I'm trying to steer clear from something like that.

Thanks for the help!

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Best source for spare rims?
« on: October 22, 2024, 03:59:04 PM »
I need to buy around 4/5  road and gravel rims to swap some existing wheelsets to wider rims but most sellers I am aware of will only sell complete wheelsets. Who is a good provider than has reliable shipping times?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Swapping cranks in a Magene Power Meter crankset
« on: August 27, 2024, 12:41:28 PM »
Hi,

I've got the Magene PES P505 Base Power Meter  with 24mm spindle and I want to swap just the cranks for a shorter set but I just can't seem to find them standalone for sale anywhere. Which third party cranks would be compatible with Magene's spider?

Thanks for your help

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Are Rotor cranks interchangeable with Zrace cranks?
« on: June 12, 2024, 01:03:41 PM »
I have a Power2Max NG Eco power meter with a Rotor ALDHU crankset and 24mm spindle. I want to change the cranks from 170mm to 165 and keep everything else and I'm curious to know if the Zrace cranksets that are sold on AliExpress are interchangeable because it seems that they are almost a carbon copy of the Rotor ones. Any idea? Has anyone tried it before?
Thanks for your help

Any update on the paint issues or did you just leave it?

I just kind of left it. I'm worn out about the whole situation and just took the loss.

VB seems to use the same RD hanger and mount for all of their frames. A 168 owner bought a direct RD hanger from this link which includes the external mount as well https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3147.msg53129.html#msg53129
Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Lost rear axle cap from Velobuild CX-002
« on: December 20, 2023, 05:46:57 PM »
I did my first ride on my Velobuild CX-002 last weekend and halfway through it, i started noticing that my rear wheel was feeling loose and moving sideways. It turns out that the plastic cap that holds together the rear derailleur hanger and the axle with a tiny bolt fell off at some point. It could have been a catastrophic failure but luckily, i caught it just in time.

I already asked Chris at Velobuild for a replacement but since it's being shipped from China, it's going to be a while before I receive it. Is there anything I can do as a temporary fix? Or maybe get a similar part from a different frame manufacturer somewhere in the U.S.?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spacers on top of the Velobuild stem?
« on: December 08, 2023, 01:12:05 PM »
To be honest, i haven't experienced any headset play and I'm cognizant that this is something that happened to many people here. Yes, it's an impractical design but i guess if you have the correct fit since the beginning it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Spacers on top of the Velobuild stem?
« on: December 02, 2023, 12:39:14 PM »
I have a feeling this is not going to be possible but for anyone that has ordered a Velobuild frame with separate stem: Is there a way to put spacers on top of it? I don't want to commit to cutting the fork entirely but I guess this is a design flaw or they seriously expect you to get your stack height 100% correct at first or with all the spacers under the stem. Picture for reference:

Just a quick update on this: I did eventually receive the stem even though it took a really long time. The tracking they provided started providing information around 15 days after they told me they had shipped it but had to wait a really long time before receiving it. My shipping address is in California, US but I guess they labeled it wrong because it got shipped to Canada before it got shipped back to California  ::)

Thanks, it's good to have that datapoint so i guess I'll wait. It's been almost two months since i initially paid for the frame so i sure does feel like a long time...
