VeloBuild VB-TT-023

[jjd]

I just went to a bike shop near me today. The mechanic managed to fit the SRAM DUB T47 road bb.

Can someone please messure me the outer diameter of the handlebar end? 24 or 25mm?

Doneeee. Took longer than expected as I fiddled a lot with the cockpit. Very happy overall but the list of wanted/unnecessary updates is long

nice!

Which Leap S900 Grip Shifter is it, 24 or 25?

Nice tool Box, where did you get it from?

Thanks! I wasn't aware there were different sizes. I can measure it for you, but will take until the weekend is over.

Self designed and 3d printed. it's still undergoing a revision since I cannot mount a bottle in the frame any more. But afterwards I'm happy to share the .stl file if you want

Love the paintjob and the cockpit looks super slick. Have you done something to increase the reach? Those bars look alot further forward than they did with the standard VB plate that the extension towers bolt in to.

I tried making my own extension plates with 5mm thick Alu bar and drilling holes in them for where I want but they came out hella flimsy and would definitely snap under real world conditions. I'm trying everything but spending £90 on the FastTT reach extender brackets looks like its going to be required.

Yest, reach extension has probably been the topic that held me up the most while finalising the build.

Hate to be that guy, but please spend 90$ for your safety  . I had a mock up setup made with aluminium extrusion for bike fitting purposes during winter on my hometrainer. Once I found my position I spent 90€ on these extensions, as they increase wingspan and reach at the same time:

That would be awesome, i am searching for it.

A question about the seat post.
There are new regulations from the DTU and the “sword” as it is now on the seatpost and as it is also on Canyon will probably be prohibited.
Is there another way to attach water bottles to the seat post? Is there perhaps a cavity like on the Avenger frame here?

If, and it is a big if, that DTU sanctioned races don’t let you use the saddle mounted bottle cage, just get a saddle mounted system instead.

I just measured with a caliper. The outer diameter of the basebar is 23,8mm.

Inner diameter of the leap grips is 24,1mm. I used one layer of electrical tape to adjust and make them hold correctly

All parts have finally arrived and got the rig set up. This is what it looks like pretty much in race set up (1st race is IM Lanza so front mech needed, but will be removed for flatter races).

Made a DIY BTA bottle cage plate from an AliEx carbon plate and a 3 slot bottle age adaptor common in MTBing.

The Trek Speedconcept Gen 3 (disc brake) specific downtube bottle doesnt work on this frame as it comes, however I'll find a way to mod the that bottle cage to fit. That or use the Orbea Ordu OMX or Cervelo downtube bottle.

Hello!

Beautiful build! I have the same frame as you in size S. Can you please tell me if you have more reach with the winosports extensions? I'm hesitating on buying it  also the 37cm basebar...

Do you know if there are any alternatives for a integrated base bar (stem and base base in one piece)?

Thanks,

José.

I've received a PM about the toolbox I have designed 3d printed for the VB-TT-023. If anyone wants the .stl file to print it yourself, feel free to download in on thingiverse:

I suggest using PETG for this box, as it offers flexibility aswell as heat stability and UV resistance. Both pieces can be printed without support if you flip them to the flat side in your slicer. You'll need two M5 screws to attach it to the frame. Sadly using this toolbox, you will not be able to mount bottlecages in the frame correctly any more. I haven't found a way yet to circumvent this, but if I do I'll post a new revision.

Thanks a lot for this service!

If you have the time and inclination, could you make a second version, extending up to the second threaded hole, so the box has more volume?
