VeloBuild VB-TT-023

[05jamie]

working on some interesting stuff, I've scanned the stock aerobars and designed a fairing-esque platform for hydration / nutrition / a computer tower in between. all of this will be configurable and open source as well when I finish the project.
will post more updates soon, hopefully with a functional BTA + computer tower, which will mount around the current screw positions. if anyone here has cool ideas to improve this or some criticism, I'd love to hear it!

I also finally managed to build my Velobuild TT-023. Attached a photo of the finished bike.

Here is my setup:

Frame: VB-TT-023,  1022 euro
Bottom bracket: Senicx ceramic t47 bb, 44 euro

Wheels: Elitewheels 80mm, 370 euro
Tires: Vittoria Corsa Pro G2 TLR with TPU Ridenow innertube, 101 euro
Rotors: RT-CL900 dura-ace, 45 euro

Groupset: shimano Ultegra/dura ace di2 12 speed for tt bike, 1004 euro

Hey there, currently in the weeds of building up a similar spec TT-023 with di2. How did you route the di2 wires through the extensions and spacers? Did you use the third hole or the top holes of the stem?

Here I am again.
In my previous post, I mentioned the creaking stem problem.
I got a new one from Chris back then, and I thought it was solved.
However, after several rides, it is creaking again.
I doubt it is my stem and not the handlebars themselves.
I tightened my stem to 9 Nm
expander to 12 Nm
I first tightened the rear handlebar bolts to 4 Nm; those are the bolts close to the headset
and then the front ones to 4 Nm.
Everything is mounted with carbon paste; am I doing something wrong?
My cover is also recessed a few millimeters relative to the top of the stem.

I emailed Chris about this problem again; as of today, no response yet. Do you guys possibly know the solution?

Is it creaking while riding all the time, or on the handlebars or on the aerobars?
At first it wasn´t creaking and it started after?
Do you feel it bending when hitting a bump or speed limiter on the road?
