VeloBuild VB-TT-023

Hi Riders!
I bought and assembled VB-023-TT with standard cockpit. And I have a problem: the stem don't fixed cockpit properly.
Have anybody same problem? What torque you applied to stem bolts?

Can anyone measure the horizontal and vertical diameter of the handlebars against the stem?
I suspect that my handlebars are too small - 31.6mm vertical and 31.3mm horizontal. That's why the stem doesn't grip them properly.

Just for information, I ordered my TT-023 on the 27th of March and it arrived yesterday (31st).  That's just FOUR days, to the UK (with no additional taxes/duty to pay)

Now I just have to decide whether re-use the 11 speed Di2 parts that can be swapped over from my old rim brake bike, or whether to get a new groupset.  I see from the Taipei show that L-TWOO have released a new fully wireless TT brake/shifter!  But so far no sign of any of their TT components shipping to UK.

This can't ship to you? or yoeleo not canada somehow?

Did you check panda podium? (I didnt).

Thank you Serge,

Not on Panda Podium, yet.  I saw the Canadian advert, but was particularly interested in the new brake/shifter, hoping that it will combine with the tt-bar shifter to give dual position shifting.  I cannot see anything TT related on the L-TWOO website (yet).

I had another look at transferring my Shimano set up and it looks like it will be a pain (as it is now!) Especially keeping the junction box internal.  So I will probably go down the SRAM two pairs of blips route with the RideRever (Triva hydraulic TT) brakes. Anyone any feedback on those?

Princeton wheels with mechanical shifting and mechanical disc brakes? Dude...

How many kmh add hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting?

[Hmpf]

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

@mattgold: It looks like you have 150mm spacers under the trailers. Is this still stable or does it wobble a lot under load?

I think you mean the stack towers for the cockpit, and not the bottle stack?
No issues with this setup at all. But I wouldn't ride it without the bridge between the stack towers.

I’m running the RideRever Trivia’s and 2 pairs of blips. Works a-ok for me, no complaints really. Don’t have a huge amount of time outdoors logged on them but they seem to do their job.
Will be doing Lanzarote IM on it in 6 weeks time so they will really get put through their paces their.

Can you post photos of how you routed the hydraulic brake cables? My set of riderever triva brakes is still on its way from Japan and I am currently using cable-actuated brakes. And it is not a good experience so far. I have changed the cables twice and the braking power is still not satisfactory. I have routed the brake cables through the top holes of the stem and brought them inside the stock base bar holes on the lower side. It looks ugly and not so aerodynamic. These cable-actuated cables seem to be so hard to bend and go through the stem as hidden/internal routed cables. I am running 1x sram force with wireless blips so the only cables I have are the brake cables.

Sadly not, as you wouldn't see anything. Its entirely internally routed. Through the basebar and than through the back of the hole in the clamping area and through the stem

Thank you for the info. Since this will be my last resort (full hydraulic brakes) I don’t want to mess it up. You routed the cables from the calipers to the base bars, correct? Or is it the other way around? I am assuming that these hydraulic brake cables are far softer than the jagwire pro brake kit cables (cable actuated) that I initially used.

This is two brakes mecanical cables and one rear derauler mecanical cable.

How does mechanical shifting and mechanical disc brakes affect aerodynamics...

[Hmpf]

I pushed the brake lines through the center hole of the basebar. This hides them completely from the wind.

Routed from Caliper up through fork out stem and through basebar. Hmpf's picture above is how mine also looks at the stem-basebar junction box.
I've never used mechanical disc brakes but have heard they are notoriously stiff. I let my local bike shop set up the hydraulic brakes and BB while I did the rest.
