Clean build! what made you go with this RD hanger instead of the stock one?

Hello,
On pages 100-102 of this forum they discuss the problems they have had with the small screw it has. It's always good to have a spare.

Nice bike,  no ffedback on the rubbing disc, but can suggest to make sure the spokes are tight to the correct tension. some wheel flex is expected when you sprint, but should not be too much to cause rubbing. 
By the way, can you share the specs on your wheels? they look grand!

Thank you so much.
The wheels are from a company called Carbonal. They have many mounting options and they roll very well, they are good wheels.
Specs are 45mm depth, 18mm internal width, DT240 hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes. The rims are tubeless, have no spoke holes, MoMag mount

Hi,

I ordered my VBR 168 two days ago. It will be my second build, the first with disc brakes.

I am collecting everything I need, actually. I got a good black friday offer for a Sram Force eTap and now I am looking for the bottom bracket.

On the Velobuild homepage they write BB86. Is that Pressfit? Which bottom bracket did you use when doing a build with a Sram DUB crankset?

Tina

Hello.
The frame is for BB86 PressFit. You have to use one of this type:
https://www.bike-components.de/en/SRAM/DUB-Pressfit-Road-86-5-mm-Bottom-Bracket-p68729/
Or one of this type with a thread in the center.

Hey, great build, looks very clean!  8)

Regarding brake rub: try to align the calipers as centered as possible. Its not that uncommon to get brake rub when out  of the saddle.


Which Seatpost hardware did you use? I see you have carbon seat mounting parts, but i cant seem to find fitting ones.

And what searpost gasket are you using? Looks neater than the original Velobuild gasket. Its the original from the SL7?

Thank you so much.
The calipers are well centered. It only sounds when I get up and move my bike from side to side. She asked in case it was something general and the fork has a little bit of flex.
The rubber is not the original. I put the rubber links and the supports for the carbon seat.

Hello everyone, I finished my VB-R-168 a few days ago. I've been testing it and I have a little problem with the disc brakes, which are Force AXS. When pedaling standing up and tilting the bicycle, the pads rub slightly. I would like to know if they have happened to them.
I have also changed the derailleur hanger and put this one on it:  https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001741343749.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.35.7768194dtsW8Rn&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp.
