Re: TanTan TT-X38 Build

hi there,

does anyone know if the original foil seatpost or the hylix seatpost fits in the x38 frame? would be great weight saving (hylix)

thanks

I don't, as I only have the X38 and haven't really done the cross-referncing/am not a spec-head in the high-end big brand models - but I am curious if there are contemporaries to this seat post as well because I'd like to find a better interface cover - the little rubber flap that TanTan provides is.. meh. I'd love something a bit tighter and more secure.

Re: New VeloBuild gravel race frame in the works...

Looking good but judging by the pictures it's a one screw saddle clamp design like on the VB-R-268, correct? I think a two screw design is way better especially on rough terrain. On the 268 a lot of people have issues with tilting seats.

+1 for that. One bolt seat clamps is the worst thing on earth and just does not work for gravel. Few bumps here and there and the saddle tilts. Been in this situation on various saddles too many times.
That's the one thing holding me back from trying this frame.

Are there any plans to develop a two bolt saddle clamps @velobuild?

the 0mm offset seat post has a one bolt clamp, the 20mm offset seat post has a regular clamp design. I ordered both.

OK, that's great! Wasn't an option when I bought the 268

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame Here are some random pics I made: https://imgur.com/a/fLUfCTs

I had a hard time measuring the rear tire clearance because my caliper was acting up.
I got a reading of 57mm at the rear, but I wouldn't take that number as definitive.
It wasn't easy to tell which part would be most likely to make contact first since the tires mounted were tiny and only 32mm wide.
They told me it might fit a 2.1" tire.
The front fork has an inner width of 70mm.

The guy at the outdoor booth was very nice and I had a great time chatting with him. Thanks for the beer!

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

How much did you have to pay, tariff-wise?

52 total, I think it was like 38 to tariff and rest was shipper dues. I ordered it pretty much when they first announced, think I was at least in the first 13 or so.

Darn. I was actually really hoping it would fit my 2.2 race kings :/ They fit on my Salsa Journeyer until I moved them onto hookless rims with 25mm internal. They sort of fit at first but over a month or so the tires seemed to expanded slightly and started rubbing on the fork.

I was hoping the same but im willing to bet 50-52 is prob the max you will get in there. Just the chainstays are going to be your limiting factor.

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