Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame

[geramonta]

This is mine almost finished.
With these tires (Panaracer Gravelking 38mm) on tarmac it is very fast while still allowing me to ride on dirt roads and fields that I couldn't do with real road tires.
I have a second wheelset with Thunder Burts.

I just need to get a crankset/power meter and put some stickers on it.
The options are Red, Big Rock, or Leese + Xcadey spider.

The Red is the lightest, but the others have a 24mm axle, so I can easily move them from one bike to another.

Or I'll keep the Force 22 and get the Favero MX.

It's a tough choice 

Is the cassette the 12-speed 10-51 Goldix? That's the one I bought, but I'm still waiting for the frame, and I want to know if it works well and how noisy it is. I'll also be installing the Wheeltop GEX.

It's the Goldix 11-51... It's actually a bit noisy in some gears, I'll have to try lube the chain a bit to see if that makes any difference.

Okay, you've chosen the HG hub one. Mine is the same but for an XDR hub, that's why the smallest one is 10t. Well, I'll try out how it performs, but I chose it to make it a mullet setup and I loved the style of the SRAM cassette. What chainring have you put on and what size? And the chain?
Thanks.

The chainring is a 40t evosid, but as I said, it's all temporary because I'm using the old crankset.
On these wheels, I'll use a Ztto 11-36, which is better spaced for road use..  I'll use this Goldix 11-51 with the Thunder Burt (I only needed it to cut the chain).

The chain is a Ztto 12s.

Just finished up an AeroGrav build. Only took it for a short 8Km shake out ride but it's feeling really good so far. Moved over most of the components from my VB GF-002 build:

- VB Wave wheels 45mm
- VB integrated bars
- GRX Di2 groupset
- Oval Woolftooth chainring
- Stages left crank PM
- Token T47 BB
- Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC 45 tires set up tubeless
- Shimano XT SPD pedals
- Fabric saddle
- Supacaz tape

I see they hired the painter from SPCycle mentoined in the other thread  https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6099.msg83635.html#msg83635

Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me anything about the integrated cockpit, such as flare, etc.? It seems to me to be a classic road bike cockpit and not specifically designed for gravel, right?

Best regards

I guess they only have one integrated cockpit (if somebody with more knowledge can confirm) and you may find details here: https://www.velobuild.com/products/carbon-fiber-road-bike-integrated-handlebar-with-spacers-for-hidden-cables-routing

If you email Chris, they can exchange it for an integrated handlebar with flare. I'm attaching the image they sent me so I could choose the size I wanted; I exchanged it at no additional cost. I chose a 90mm stem and 400mm top / 462mm bottom width.

This is awesome! Thanks!

I got my frame! XL frame in Pearl White.

I’m not a weight weenie, but a quick check of weight - the frame is around 1300 g.

The paint is a bit thin in some areas and I’m missing the through axle for the back wheel. But overall it looks good.

I also received mine, and everything looks good. Will say though that I hope I will be able to use the setback seatpost as I don't like the patent on the zero setback one. The head of the one with setback is very similar to a Hylix post I have (I ordered both seatposts and no bars, only the carbon stem - which is passable, I guess).

Wasn't able to find a way to balance the frame on my kitchen scale, so no precise measurement so far. I will weigh it with a fishing weight later. Size M matte finish, no paint is roughly 1140 g.

I will probably realistically only use the bottle cage bolts. Any ideas for black nylon bolts to plug the rest of the holes?

[Yoei802]

Anyone here know what length bolt they used for the front brake mounting? I am running SRAM Rival/Force flat mount brakes front and rear. I ordered 37mm for the rear but unsure on the fronts.

[Requiem84]

Can a 140mm rotor fit on the rear, or 160 only?

Only 160mm

My frame is finally arrived.
Im going to build it with with Wheeltop Gex groupset and SRAM 10 44 drivetrain.
