Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Wheels are Hunt 4 Season All-Road. Very nice budget wheelset for this type of bike. 20mm wide internally.
https://eu.huntbikewheels.com/collections/road-cx-disc-brake-wheels/products/4season-gravel-disc-road-cx-wheelset-1589g-24deep-24wide

Tires are Vittoria Terreno Zero 32c setup tubeless.



This setup has seen shit.  ;D

Re: TopCarbon TCGF066 gravel frame It does indeed look like the same bike. Good find!

Re: Carbonda 515-D A wheel will deflect under acceleration and sharp cornering. Thats why the industry standard is 4mm. 6mm seems excessive. With stiff carbon wheels even 4mm is more than enough. 2-3 is ideal.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame I have a couple of road races coming up with significant amounts of gravel sections, so I have been trying to maximize the tire space in the frame. The split for one race is around 15% tame gravel/85% asphalt and 45% tame gravel / 55% asphalt for the other.
I have been looking for high volume road tyres with lower rolling resistance compared to gravel tires.

I currently have Vittoria Terreno Zero's in 32c and they are very puncture resistant but noticeably slower than a road tire (as it probably should be). Very good if there is a high risk of punctures or a need for more grip.

Schwalbe have a 34c model of their Pro One Evo TLE which I picked up. I mounted them on Light Bicycle WR45's which are 25mm internal (hooked). They measure 33,5mm.

Surprisingly there is still a bit of space. Obviously they are narrower than advertised but it probably also has to do with the lack of knobs and that the wide rim gives the tire a lower profile.
I would say if you have wide rims the bike could probably handle a 35mm WAM slick tire if you can live with minimal mud clearance. Anyone wanna sponser me some Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass  ;D ?

Hi guys,

Why in the Topic of the Chinese frame Velobuild VB-R-168, we talk, write about tires??
Write a new Topic, for gravel tires, so it is more visible and not hidden in that of the frame.

thanks in advance

Because people care about tire clearance obviously

My only complaint is that their packaging is too fancy. They send the bolts in a metal box which is padded with form fitted foam.

Wow... a travel case for your bolts.

I bought one of the new SL7 supper long expander plugs only to find out that it won't fit in my 168 steerer! I could barely get a few millimetres of the metal part on the bottom to go in. Anyone experience this if you're tried one of these?

For reference the middle one is the stock VB one and the one of the right is a lightweight option I was gonna try, chickened out, and now may try again.

Did you loosen the stem?

Also.... What do you want to achieve with this exchange? There will be no discernable benefit from doing this from my point of view.

Re: Workswell Frames I got some 2D drawings from Workswell on the 366. Very comparable tire clearance to the Carbonda 1056 if you are looking for second option. The fork looks to be the limiting factor.
