Good morning everyone,

coming back here after a few months away from the forum.

My TT was initially built with the original front end but with 9 cm of spacers. Later I bought the Winow aerobar, which looks very similar to the FastTT one. Since they are flat, I also had to buy the angled spacer block from Winow to give them some tilt.

Because my bike is built with Shimano, I currently have some adjustment limitations due to cable length. I still need to decide whether I will disassemble everything and replace the cables, or simply replace the whole groupset.

My frame was purchased in 2024 and the derailleur hanger seems to be the same one used on the VB268 road frame. It does not look like a UDH to me. Has this part been updated on newer versions, or is it actually possible to mount a UDH there? I’m asking because installing a 13-speed SRAM derailleur could be an interesting option.

I’m also open to suggestions for systems/solutions to mount a front hydration setup.

If anyone has questions regarding the bike build or any component, such as the Winow aerobar, feel free to ask!

I received my order today on 12/26 here in Hawaii, just five days after it was shipped from Chris. The tracking number provided was EMS, but UPS ended up delivering it. I had to pay $79.00 of import duty to the UPS delivery driver, which I did from my phone online and he was able to verify from his handheld UPS device.

The package arrived safely without any damage. So far, so good. I have another bike on the bench at the moment, but next week I’ll get into the build. I plan on including weights and measurements of all parts. I’ll share my build log and riding impressions.


Chris has been exemplary to work with. Tell him Mr. Enos sent you.
