Does anybody use standard thru axle instead of speed release? Looking for additional axle for trainer.

I would highly recommend to get a box of M6 screws with different lengths and just try which ones fit. Depending on frame, brake type and adapters used you will need different lengths and having these available is great. You can get them on Aliexpress for example.

M6 are for MTB M5 for Road, i made this mistake before i received my frame 

Hello everyone, it's the first time I've written on this forum but I've been reading you for a long time.

A few months ago I bought my VB 268 and so far I have been very happy, but after hearing some strange noises coming from the bottom bracket I have found this in it. 

I have tried to contact customer service to find out if it is safe to ride it, but they are on their holiday and there is no response.

Here are some pictures to see the possible carbon breakdown.

You can also try to write to them Via instsgram

Would you mind posting some photos showing this? Thanks

It's hard to post as I already use housing. Grommet is made from aluminium which is blocked by little metal inside the frame with this little screw H2. The grommet hole is too little to pass the housing so I detached from frame and drilled. After that i realize that I used a little to much torque So keep in mind that this screw is really really soft

Same as me. In the weekend i will plan to assembly frame with r7020 groupset 

Is the seatpost between the 268 and Sl7 interchangeable?

Is it easy enough to get a replacement seatpost for the 268?

Wondering wether to order an extra one now with my order.

Someone wrote here that he contacted with Chris and ordered the seatpost on their site for 25$.

Nice build. I ordered the same paint but in your pics looks like orange ice brake paint. I suppose that it's your phone camera effect.
