Re: Good frame company bad experience with BXT
Not only do they ghost support inquiries, their rate of issues with their frames is quite high from everything I’ve seen. Some people have done okay with their hardtails but I definitely wouldn’t trust their full suspension frames.

Is BXT only a distributor or the OE manufacturer? If a distributor only, do you know whom they source their frames from?

Re: VB TT-023: Here comes a new build Hi,
I received the frame this week.
I need to deep inspect it, but it looks in a good shape.

I love the look and feel and raw carbon looks beautiful.
I cant wait to build and ride it

Re: Zen Carbon Wheels Xiamen
Do they have a website or a contact point? I am looking for 650c wheels.

Here’s their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zencarbonbike?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
Website: https://zencarbonbike.com/ — but honestly, it’s not great and definitely not up to date. They focus more on OEM, so a lot of the rims and options (like mine) aren’t even listed.

If you want to reach out, best way is to message directly or useinfo@zencarbonbike.com
WhatsApp: +86 15160726618

Re: VeloBuild VB-TT-023
I am curious about how you achieve such a low price as I calculated what I want to be >3000$. Do you mind sharing a part list?


I also tried a budget build. But I got it to 2.8k at the end. Almost everything secondhand.
You can see the full build spec a couple of pages back :)

Re: VeloBuild VB-TT-023
Where did you get that computer tower/ riser? And what aero bars are those, they look sharp?

Hi mattgolt,
Can you share some pictures of your copilot BTA setup?

It's a self-designed 3d printed prototype. Attached you can find some photos of the current state. It basicially is a never ending optimisation project. I'm currently quite happy with the BTA setup, but I keep redesigning the grip to find a perfect solution.

I'm sorry everyone, I'm not going to share the design of this one due to safety concerns :-X

Re: Indoor trainer mat and table Interestd to hear what people are using. I've been using a cheap exercise mat from Amazon but it's gotten pretty disgusting and wasn't easy to clean.

Re: VB TT-023: Here comes a new build
Nice build!

did you get the toolbox from @mattgolt ?

I wonder if buying the winow TT handlebar instead of the stock would be more confortable?

Yes, thats its toolbox indeed.
The handlebar itself is pretty comfy, my concern is about the bike fit
