Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame

I'm in the process of building my bike, and the small cogs are making a lot of noise around the cassette, not the derailleur. I don't know if it's the cassette or the chain.

My setup consists of a Senicx PR3 crankset with a 42-tooth Goldix chainring with a 0 mm offset and a 49.7 mm chainline. The cassette is a Goldix MTB for a 12-speed 10-51-tooth XD freehub mounted on an XDR freehub with a 1.85 mm spacer behind the cassette. The chain is a stock SRAM GX 12-speed chainring and a GEX wheeltop derailleur.

Can you tell me what it could be? Is this normal, or do I need to change something?

I have the same cassette but for HG freehub (11-51).. it is quite a bit noisier (especially on the small sprockets) than the ztto 11-36.. it is not an alignment problem but I think it is a question of resonance of the monoblock structure.. consider that it is very light... the same thing happened on some old SRAM cassettes.

Did you have or do you have MTB tires, right? What sizes and what internal rim width are you running?

I’d like to mount a fast-rolling MTB tire, but I’m concerned about the rear wheel. I have rims with a 29 mm internal width, and the Hutchinson Tundra 45C measure 50 mm on them.

I suppose I won’t have as much of a problem at the front.

Rear - mezcal 2.1
Front -barzo 2.25

Rim internal is 17 or 19 mm. So tires blow up a bit undersized. Plus vittoria tends to blow up undersized from my reading. 50 rear you'd be fine.

Could someone who hasn't assembled the frame yet, or who knows, tell me the size and length of the seatpost wedge bolt? I think mine might be too long, and it's causing the wedge to lift slightly.

Hi I’m using a 30mm bolt on mine as the one that came with it was also too long.

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires Hello

I posted build specs awhile ago but finally snapped some pics. Thank you all on this thread for your contributions to making this a seamless build. I painted the frame myself in metallic purple - looks amazing in the sun but does not really come through in photos.

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires I have finished my build on the weekend and i am absolutely happy with the bike.
The paint is white chameleon gloss and carbon raw UD matte (i guess the darker tinted one).

Build went pretty smooth (for the first time) and i would like to thank you all for all the tips and tricks :)

My only Problem war the FSA Headset being slightly to low so that i had to buy microspacers to get clearance between the head tube and FSA plastic bottom cap. So i had to use 2x0.25mm microspacers. If anyone in Germany has the same problem i have 2 more Spacers left and i can send them somewhere :)

To mount the Di2 Battery i used Armaflex 6mm insulation that i had lying around and stuffed the Battery inside the seatpost, seams like a pretty tight fit and will always be easily removable.

Now i am still waiting on some 50mm carbon wheels from serenade but for the meantime i am using some spare DT Swiss wheels (heavy af).

I can also recommend the Bikone T47 bottom bracket that seems to be high quality and is the clostest thing to a one piece BB that i could find for way less money.

The handlebar is ofc a lightcarbon HBR17 in 380x120mm which is absolutely beautiful in my opinion (especially with the 3D printed titanium alloy garmin mount) but there might be lighter options out there. My Bars came in at around 330 gram + garmin mount + Spacers. I also bought the FSA Spacer Adapter to fit the headset which needed some minor adjustments (2 little holes drilled). I don´t know if they have ever used the adapter themselves but out of the box it doesn´t work :D

The Giant Seatpost cover is also a nice upgrade, thanks for the tip :)

Here is the whole Part List:

-LTK 266 Frame in Size XL
-Shimano 105 Di2
-Magene Teo P515 Carbon Crankset
-FSA ACR 55r
-Bikone T47 internal Dub BB
-GP 5000 28mm
-old style Dura Ace Brake Rotor 140/140
-Ryet Carbon saddle
-Look Keo Blade pedals

--> i think thats all :D
Total weight inc. Pedals, bottle cages, pump came in at 7.7 kg, with the serenade wheels (1350 gram vs 1800 DT Swiss) it should be at 7.25 kg

Thanks again to everyone for all the posts on this thread :)
