Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame After some luking and reading all the thread... Finally order a 168.

It will be dress with Rival/Force AXS bits and probably a Ryet 40mm wheelset.

I hope to be on the 8kg edge... Let's see!

Re: Shimano GRX brake adjustment You can try to open the pads with the deposit of purge installed.
If there are too much oil in the circuit, this, removes the excess.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Yesterday I picked up the frame.
I think, the frame was packed well, and the box has no damage.

First impresión are good, no cracks or dents on the paint, the matte pearl white looks fantastic, paint job is decent for the prices IMO.
Carbón inside the frame appers smooth with no delamination.
I'd other chinise frames some years ago (flyxxi), and this has better finish.

Wheights:

Frame size 54 1067g
Fork 413g
Seatpost 224g
Handlebar 400/90mm 384g

Handlebar it´s a bit heavy, but looks sooooo solid.
Chris told me it has -17ºC, but (fortuntanely) I think its about -6º or similar.

Now I´m collecting parts, and waiting for the wheels.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Finally... Done! (Sorry for the english, I´m not native).

The components are mainly:

-Velobuild framset, integrated handlebar and bits.
- Sram Rival axs with 48-35 cranks
- Cassete Wuzei 11-34
- CSC 45MM 28MM Widht (1525g)
- Tyres Schwalbe ONE (not de pro) TLR 28c
- Aliexpress Gineyea BB
- Favero Assioma Duo Pedals

Size 54, weight about 8.1/8.2kg with pedals, bottle cages and Garmin mount.
Very happy becouse tyres and cranks are a bit, bit heavy, so under 8, easy.
Price (excluding pedals and cages) under 2k.

I have been riding a rim  CAAD12 with 50mm tubular wheels and mechanic Ultegra for the last 4 years, comparing with that, the Velobuild is by far more comfortable, but far far far away.
It could the tubeless setup with 28c, the frame... But rides surprisingly smooth.
Handling is superb, fast and nimble, I´m not a profesional tester so... Not much to say... It´s a copy of an SL7, a great bike, so the behabiour is fantastic.
Rigidty... Well... I weight about 67kg, so not much peak power... I put some 800/900W peak sprints and all ok, no creaks, bikes acelerates fast.

In the end very happy, with the bike. I just hope it lasts!!!
