Thank you, what would you use instead and why not PETG CF? Is it PETG the pb or CF or even both?
I designed the mount so that the bracket under the Garmin holder compensates for the flexibility issue of the PETG CF — isn’t that enough?

If you don't mind, boulette, I will post my (ongoing) build in your thread... and make it the "French VB TT-023" thread  :D

I received my frameset last friday (about one month after ordering it). I allready had all the components ready. It will be a 1x wireless Rival AXS 12s build (no blip box)

Crankset Magene   PES 515 (powermeter) 165mm
with Pass Quest   SHIMANO X110BCD (4-bolt AERO) Narrow Wide 50t chainring
and Nova Ride   BB T47 85.5 for Shimano    BB

rear derailleur: SRAM   Rival eTap AXS 12s
1 pair of SRAM wireless blips with Leap Components Adapters
1 pair of SRAM wireless blips (for the basebar)
SRAM   XG-1250 cassette
Rival 12s flattop chain (waxed)

Brakes:   SRAM   S900
Pedals: Shimano   Dura-Ace PD-R9100 (second-hand)

Wheels: Yoleo 88m   
Tires: Continental   Grand Prix 5000 All Season 28mm
Tubes: Vittoria   Competition Latex
      
Saddle ISM   PN 1.1 (second hand)



I'll have the fork cut and the brakes installed by a LBS, but I'll have to wait until the end of the week for the mechanic to be available.

Can't wait, so I build a few components to see how it goes...

I asked Chris to add a few handlebar spacers. He gave me 2x20 cm...

Fell free, I'm glad you're enriching this thread.
Nice look so far.

2x20cm for spacers ? Sounds huge. Are you sure ?
I'm using m5x150mm screws and I'm hesitating to reduce because i extended already by more than 4cm.

Or you meant 2x20mm additional spacers maybe ?

I have a total amount of 2x200m spacers made of 5mm, 10mm, 20mm spacers. I can use as much as I want as long as I find the right screw. (I will order a few threaded rods and cut them to the right length.

by the way, I thought it was M4 screws, are you sure I need M5 screws ?

100% sûre. I asked Chris before ordering them.
Here are the specs of those i have ordered
TCHC M5X150 ACIER 12.9 NOIR PF DIN 912

2x20cm is huge in any case. If i need to elevate it by 5cm more, i'll do differently (thanks to my between the arms plate)

Back after a three month hiatus...

My LBS had some issues with the front calliper and asked Chris for a new fork. It took some time but finally I got my bike ready to go.

I rode cautiously from the LBS and put it on my hometrainer to fine tune the position and check if everything is OK.

On this picture, I have a total of 35mm spacers (which I guess is the default with the provided screw), I felt OK but maybe a bit too low to get started with a TT position so I added a few spacers for a total of 80mm. FWIW, i could spend 1h15 in the aero position watching Milano/San Remo on the turbo, so I guess it means I'm comfortable with this fit.

Waiting for a not too windy day to try it outdoor. Can't wait.

I've just ordered the same bike. How was it for your full Ironman? I'm doing IM Copenhagen in August.

Did you Garmin/bottle cage 3D print work? Can you fit two bottles on there?

Hey there,

It's over in the other VB TT-023 thread. Here you go.

Be mindful: Just yesterday it has surfaced that this toolbox only fits the L frame. I'm now looking for Guinea pigs that have the S and M frame and can send me detailed photos so I can adapt the toolbox for these frames (possible some failed prints involved).

I am starting to build up my VB TT-023 frame and was wondering if you had the .stl files for the toolbox in a size M frame @mattgolt. Hope to hear soon from you.  8)

I would also be interested in a medium toolbox too!
