Thanks Nkearb.

I'm going to use 165mm  :)
I was confused by the "weird" 86.5mm size, so I thought it would be better to ask before ordering anything.
I have already found a Kactus BB T47-DUB (86.5mm).

If I decide to go for Wheeltop GeX, does it matter if I order a Shimano or XDR wheelset?

I will recive the 85.5 BB and crank in a few days and will try to figure out if a 1mm spacer may do the trick for the scenicx BB. The Kactus seems like a better option though.

I use both shimano and sram wheels on my MTB using the Wheeltop OX 2.0 and it works fine. I checked with wheeltop regarding the rotor size compability of the break calipers and they said that they only support 140/160mm rotors (even though some sources claimed that 180 is good). I changed my setup to 160 front and rear.

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame Got to say I'm more than frustrated with this situation.

There's no good and precise information from them, just a sequence of delays. First frames would be finished by end of may, then end june, now mid july. What next?

A very poor comunicating channel (I asked them last week when they would ship the frame and no answer so far). I'm relying on other people comments here right now.

The product page keep stacking the number of sold frames, and no frame actually exists that we know of.

I know what I choose, I know chinese sellers are difficult in certain aspects, but come on guys, this is getting ridiculous now.

I dont. VB is a broker so they are sourcing from whoever they want. Given they sell quite a few models, you can be sure they source from different factories. They may even source a given frame from different factories. Given the price point i also doubt the highest care goes into making the frames, so i dont expect factories to advertise they have VB as a client.
VB has been selling open moulds designs, but also models i havent seen anywhere else, so they might own some moulds.

Slight correction, we're a manufacturer and have our own factory. We also OEM for others brands as well and are focusing these days on unique moulds we own ourselves ;)

...and now get your things together and use realistic delivery dates on your frames. I'm still waiting for the shipment of my frame.

We completely hear you and you're right, delivery timelines need to be realistic. Sorry you're still waiting on your frame, that’s not the experience we want anyone to have.

Can you shoot us a DM at the WhatsApp number below with your order number? We’ll check on it right away and make sure you’re in the loop. Thanks for your patience and for keeping us accountable.

Hey Velobuild,
Since you've reportedly started shipping the first frames, can we expect some high-quality photos of the FINAL product, including the actual fork?

I should get mine tomorrow. If I do get it I'll post for the forum. I got the zero offset seatpost, gloss black, I opted for no handlebars but never got confirmation that they didn't or did take them out so...

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame So I had a chance to put some tires into the frame and see whatll fit. Sadly to say, my 2.2s cleared the chain stays and sesttube just fine, but it rubbed on both chain stays. That may be from the fact the rim isn't fully true but even without the minor variation in it, I wouldn't recommend to anyone. The 50 cleared the front with around 6mm on either side so 2.2 would be fine up front.

I will say that 2.2 race King looked damn good in the frame, if you shave the side knobs off it may work but kinda seems like a waste when you could get a proper 2.1, just watch the side knob height.

Here's an album of photos I've taken so far. No calipers still so no solid numbers but the Allen key in the photos are all 6mm wide. Rear tire is a 45 terra trail and a 50mm

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame I’m in the middle of the build, and so far I haven’t run into any problems.

Could you share a link to those black bolts?

If I plan to use the latest SRAM Rival 1x13 groupset, will I also need to change the axle? If so, which axle should I use?

Ask Velobuild for a rear axle with 1.0 pitch (thread).

If you look on their product page, the axles are threaded with a 1.5 pattern.

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame My build is finished. I’m very satisfied with the frame’s quality, even though I had some concerns before it arrived.
