VeloBuild VB-TT-023

[mattgolt]

Finally finished my VB-TT build. Only ridden on Turbo so far so no idea on road feel / secureness of contact points (particularly concerned about Bars / Seatpost slipping on bumpy terrain)

Components:

SRAM Force Rear Mech
2 pairs of SRAM AXS Wireles Blips
76 Projects Blip Holders
RideRever Trivia TT Brakes
Stock Basebar and Vision TFE Clone Bars
Pass Quest 56t Single Chainring
Dura Ace R9200 167.5 mm Crankset
KMC 12 Speed Chain
Praxis T47 Integrated Bottom Bracket (Shimano)
Shimano 105 R7100 11-34t Cassette
ISM PN3.1 Saddle
*I do have a SRAM Red eTap AXS Front Mech and Pass Quest 56/42t Double Chainring for a 2x setup
Tri Spoke and Disc to be obtained in due course.

Cost: £1,921.54 (not including labor to build or 2x Chainset setup)

Love it! Didn't know you could mix and match Shimano and sram like that, but apparently you never stop learning!

I'm due to receive my frame soon aswell and plan to go for a 1x setup as well (living in pancake flat northern Germany..). So I'm wondering what offset did you chose on there passquest chainring? Did you spend lots of time to optimize the chain line?

Honestly, I wasn't too sure how mix and matching would work either but seems to be ok so far. Also, for chain ring offset I am not too sure about it, its just a standard DA 9200 compatible 12s chainring (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006163501452.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.54.727b1802JhYbj7).

I asked Velobuild what max Chainring size (60t IIRC) and chose accordingly for the racing I will be doing next season. I've raced on 56t and 58t 1x and also 56/44t 2x on my last bike so knew both worked well for me. I also just bought what was cheap and 11-34t was the cheapest cassette I found. I will swap this out down the line for an AliExpress Ultralight cassette for my A race where Weight will be a factor.
