Yeah

Yo yo yo, 3d printable rear bottle holder is finished! It replaces the one that comes with the frame, but elevates the bottle higher and mounts it horizontal. I suggest using a bottle mount adapter for fine tuning the fore/aft of the bottle, but it could be mounted directly. (Depending on the bottle cage, you might touch the bottle though)

It is compliant with the current ironman/world triathlon rules about the mount for the rear hydration having to fit in a 30x30cm box.

The 3D printable rear bottle holder is amazing, but unfortunately I’m a bit short (5ft6), so I can’t leave enough space for two bolt holes on the seatpost.

Does anyone have a solution for a BTA setup with a Garmin mount on the stock Velobuild handlebars?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering upgrading my TT bike wheelset for Triathlon (mainly Ironman 70.3). The setup I have in mind is:
   •   Front: 3-spoke carbon
   •   Rear: Full disc wheel

I’m aiming for better aerodynamics, but I’m unsure about real-world performance.

Looking for advice on:
   1.   How does this combo perform in crosswinds and technical courses?
   2.   Is a 3-spoke front a good idea, or would a deep-section rim be safer/more practical?
   3.   Any recommendations for AliExpress brands/shops if I go this route?

Thanks in advance for any input or personal experiences!

Careful with the passquest chainrings. They make specific ones for the SRAM flattop chains. I found out the hard way and had to buy a new one It's absolutely gorgeous though and works flawlessly.

I see on website "Chain compatibility: AXS12 speed  chain"

Does anyone on here know what the downtube storage pictured on the velobuild website would be? I asked on whatsapp and they could only say that the customer installed it. I'm hoping to do something similar and would like to know if I need bottle cage rivets installed before ordering.

The ICan frame won't be out till Feb next year. You can pre-order, I was looking at it in October/November.
I ordered the VB-TT-023 frame (as I couldn't wait that long), still putting it together. But I must say I am impressed with the build quality so far.

The inside of the carbon is very clean. No tell tail signs of bad carbon layup. The brakes threaded through nicely. A little bit of pain with the front one, but I didn't use the tools to do it, just wiggled the cables through. The install of the T47 BB was nice an crisp, I haven't put the crank on yet. The alignment seems spot on, based on the resistance I was felling putting things in place. The threading on the front and rear wheels aligns nicely.

Mine is a matt black frame and the paint seems nice, the over spray is a non-issue on this frame.

Only issue so far is the cockpit would be difficult to get 4 cables though, not impossible just careful routing. I can post video's and pictures in the next few weeks. Other thing is lack of torque setting instructions is a concern for me but that is just me being a little OCD.

This is also my first Chinner Carbon frame so take all of above with a grain of salt.

I am also considering buying this frame and hope you will upload pictures of your bike soon.
I’m torn between the matte black and glossy black options.
