Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Quote from: vasnd on May 06, 2021, 05:11:22 AM
I'm in the process of buying a frameset VB-R-168. Still some questions need to be answered before I can pull the trigger though.

Chris isn't very clear on the possibility of a different handlebar setup. My wife needs a 70mm stem so all Velobuild options are out. I've been eyeing the Canyon H31 ergocockpit (70mm/380mm). Difference in numbers which worries me are 1-1/2' headset spec on Velobuild site and 1-1/4' fork shaft diameter on the Canyon part.
If this won't be a match, does anyone know which integrated handlebar (or seperate stem/bar system) would actually fit properly?

Theoretically, you could take a FSA NS ACR stem and matching FSA ACR handlebars,
then you have a normal stem handlebar combo.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame I'm sure you thought about moving the saddle to the front with the 80mm?

i have an ergon saddle with approximately 3cm space, that would be enough to compensate, maybe not so good for her knees
in combination with moving the cleats on the shoes i'm sure you get 10mm out

Re: FSA ACR Headset - ACR Top Cover Required?

Can you update on this, I'm curious!

Yeah, it works, no problems! I fit the bearings and the lock ring, used the FSA compression plug, and tightened it all.down with the TanTan headset cover and handlebar spacers with no issues. I had to use some micro spacers with the lock ring, but that's not an FSA fitment issue.
