Velobuild VB-R-177

[Zoc]

Hi, I have been lurking in this thread for a while, but now finally the time has come to assemble my own VB-R-177. I received the frame few days ago, but I am largely still waiting for other parts. One of the things that arrived in my mail today was the bottom bracket. It came with a ~2mm spacer, that I am unsure whether it is needed, or which side of the bottom bracket I should put it on. I am attaching an image to make sure you understand what I mean.

I have a Shimano 105 R7100 crankset, and I will be running the L-TWOO eR9 groupset. How would I determine whether I need to put on this spacer? Did you put one on when you were assembling this frame?

please look in the manual of the bracket, the frame is BB86 in the manual you will find how many spacers on which side you need, for example if it is a sram Dub bracket it woult be one spacer on the right side (which i assume should also be fine for you)

Hey, thanks, I actually figured it out soon after asking the question but didn't post anything about my solution. As you mention, the specs are crank dependent, so the information was (in my case) available in the Shimano's 105 crankset documentation.

Rebuilt my VB-177 frameset, as it's off to a new home. My buddy opted for 105 Di2 12-Speed and a set of 1st-gen Hyper 65s. Shifting with 105 feels identical to Ultegra Di2 12sp and the wheels make for a speedy ride dynamically. FSA no69 headset system is the way to go.

After building this bike up and riding it, I'm now quite curious to check out the VB-268. I hoping the 268 takes all the good from the 177 and pairs it with the aesthetics and geometry of the 168. Yes I said I was finished with reviewing $500 frames but...

The first step is to admit you have a problem! Joking, love watching your videos , keep it up .

I see this thread hasn't been used for a while but has anyone successfully fitted the Ritchey Switch upper headset and stem combo to the 177? I see the FSA SMR to ACR headset works as does the Deda Superbox. Just wondering if there are bearing seat or height issues with Ritchey. Thx!

177 riders, how are you finding the bike, especially those who use non VB / legit bars?
Any points of comparison with known bikes?
