Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame
« on: September 08, 2026, 02:59:13 AM »
So now that it's been a bit of time and Ridley have just come out with the Kanzo Fast 2.0... would love to see Velobuild (Chris if you're listening please!!!) update their aero gravel frame to take it to the next level.
I would simply copy that Ridley geometry the same as done with the ASTR RS, up the BB drop to 80mm, head angle the same, seat angle a degree steeper, 425mm chainstays and 57-58mm tire clearance. No storage compartment. Keep it simple.

The head tube can be deepened a little, use the shapes at the back of the Kanzo Fast 2.0 as reference to get the tire clearance up (my Velobuild has no paint on the inside of the chainstays any more, I'm sure a lot of you are the same with 50mm tires...).

The current frame itself is very fast with road wheels and tires on - with Chung testing it matched my Supersix Evo gen 4, which is a pretty fast bike. Velobuild know what they're doing! My bike has had a lot of interest here in Cape Town as it's a bit different, especially with the Bikedoc 34cm bars.

Any photos you could share of road mode?

A thick aluminium works great. The thin carbon ones are very bouncy.

Exactly how I would put it. It bounces alot and idk if anyone else found this to be the case but mine seemed to have way to much positive angle to it. I bought some washers and long m5 bolts so I could tilt it down to where I wanted it.

What kind of computer mount fits to the integrated handle bar? Is it a 2- or 3-bolt mount?

2 bolt like the kocelvo put front mount. It's kinda crap ngl

Loving my elite's so far, even with the loud hub. I imagine its a draw between the two so like others have said, see which you can get cheaper and go that route.

Are any of you aware of these versions of the eR7 rear derailleur? If anyone owns either one, I'd love to see people chime in (I suppose, in my DMs is fine to avoid spamming the thread) with which one they have.

I don't have a photo of my er7 right now but I can confirm that mine is the version x. I bought mine when er7 just released so it very well could be that they updated it. I would message the store directly and see if they can provide any info from their end.

Took the bike out for a more muddy/wet ride. happy to report that the weatherproofing held up well and shifting worked flawlessly under load and grime.

I reckon it'll be a challenge, yeah - that said, I did check eBay and similar sites (and would've been happy to pay ~70-80% of the RRP depending on condition) before ordering my C706 so while it may be small, I guess there'll be a bit of a market.

If you end up selling the c706 I may be interested in taking it off your hands, seems to be a step up from the 606

According to specs its wireless, what they are selling now on aliexpress seems like an enginering build that will be replaced by a more polished and finished product like they have done with older groupsets.

I could see that but for now, my unit has the cutout, but I am not running that side regardless in case I want to use my er7.

Did anyone manage to use the new eGR yet? im really concerned about battery life on them as they advertise 4500mAh but on the battery they state only 400mAh and considering that the old gen had 1600mAh total in the battery pack im really concerned about total range since the capacity is only 25% of what we had before.

I also messages Ltwoo customer service and they stated that there is currently no schedule for updating the old generations with newer functions that is 13 speed and ability to swap button functions on shifters. But I should await further official announcements from LTWOO about this topic.

Right now on my new unit lost about 5% with 3ish hrs. So prob not the best battery life but with the type c charging I'm not to concerned.

Are early deraileur cages compatible with this? I would like to use my shimano 10-51 cassette.
There is no gap in paddle lever on oficial website. It might be some early prerelease units. To be fair i would prefer paddles on both left and right banda.

My new unit has the gap for the shifters in in on the left shifter.

At $320 most of his criticism is a bit of harsh. Like apparently build quality, if it shifts and is reliable, at this price point, I wouldn’t care. The usb c cover waterproofing:
These are pretty common now, if you don’t like this one buy one from a marine shop or somewhere else.

Couldnt agree more. For me, I like the ltwoo system and it works just fine for me. Today was doing some offroad inclines and it shifted crisp under power and didnt sound/feel like it was struggling one bit. Braking is still better than my 105 mechanical i came from, shifter ergo is way more comfortable than the prior generations (I do find the 105 hoods more comfortable tho). Shifter buttons are tactile enough that I don't find myself second guessing much if any.

I will agree that the 50 tooth does semi struggle a bit to ramp up to it but for me that is a last resort gear so I don't mind it.

I'm now glad that I passed this. That left shifter looks terrible.

gotta agree it looks bad but I just left my er7 left shifter on so they look similar besides the carbon.

Here are some photos of what I received. Haven't finished installing yet but I can confirm that it supports 13 speed. Also you can now swap the paddle buttons.

Racing unbound XL in a few weeks and if its dry ill run these and if its looking muddy ill use 45mm pathfinders or terra speeds.

You'll have to give us a race review on the frame. Looking muddy this year so I'm guessing the 45s are going to be the go to
