I would also be interested in a medium toolbox too!

I am starting to build up my VB TT-023 frame and was wondering if you had the .stl files for the toolbox in a size M frame @mattgolt. Hope to hear soon from you.  8)

Hi there, I've also got a Medium frame, would you be willing to share the design of your toolbox? What material did you print it in?

My Velobuild TT in size M is finished and rides incredibly well – it's lightning fast!

The color is exposed carbon with a glossy clear coat and custom decals (which Velobuild produced for an additional fee and applied under the clear coat).

TRP brakes (with SRAM Blips)
SRAM XPLR rear derailleur (54/10-36)
SRAM Rival E1 Powermeter
ELITE EDGE 2.0 (65mm)
12cm of Spacers

Custom-designed toolbox
AeroCovers on the spacers
BTA for the Velobuild handlebars
All parts are 3D printed.

The version I bought didn't have flat mount adaptors with it (eBay purchase).
Front fork and it doesn't seem to have enough "height" to it. I'm using 140mm rotors and the flat mount I have says it's for 140 and 160mm but doesn't seem to have enough clearance. I also tried it with a flat mount from a Giant Propel (where the wheels and rotor) were from and that didn't work either. I'm sure I've mounted the brakes correctly ie not back to front.

What flat mount are people using for their front brake? I’m using the Riderever Triva, but can’t get enough clearance between the mounted brakes and my 140mm rotors. Does anyone have an AliExpress link they can share?

I feel like I need to shorten the steerer tube since I received the metal stem. I cannot pull tight the play as the plug is touching the cap before it's tight. How low should I cut?

I've got the alloy stem too and just cut my steerer tube today, I installed all the bearings and rings, mounted and tightened the stem, then marked where the lowest part of the stem meets the steerer tube. I then cut 5mm below that. That seemed to work fine and didn't interfere with the cap touching the compression plug. I was worried that the compression plug has about 1mm height above the steerer rube, but it was all ok.

Did anyone find that they had to trim their seat post? I'm 180cm and ordered a medium and I had to trim the seat post, just to be able to get to the right position. I am using an ISM Adamo saddle which does seem have a high seat rail though. Mind you I do have little legs.

The attachment was from DFS and is the same on their website. https://dfscarbonwheels.myshopify.com/products/dfs-tt-disc-wheels-ud-raw-weave-920g-weight-45t-ratchet-competition-grade-carbon-fiber-disc-wheels

The first attachment was from Tangoola.

In the end I went for the Rear discs UXL from DFS and a UXL 60mm deep front wheel. I'm in the UK, so I expect rubbish weather and the handling difference, means I can remain longer in aero position on 60mm, then I potentially could do for 80mm.

I’ve just been speaking to Angler at DFS Wheels. He’s asking me (persistently) for payment, based upon an email conversation. So whilst we’ve discussed my requirements, he’s not quite confirmed what I’m paying for. Just checking that was everyone’s experience and to ensure that I’m not getting scammed.

$620 but with a 1 month lead time.

There’s also DFS. Detail in the attachment
They have a lead time of 10 days.

Would be good to hear what you’re also looking at.

I've also got a ProfileDesign FC35, but how do you fix it to your aerobars? I'm currently using a Gen1 Trek SpeedConcept, which has round aerobars so it clips nicely in, but can't see an easy way to fix it to the TT-023.

I'm not far off pulling the trigger on purchasing this frame, checked out all the other options and this just feels like the right frame for me. Just need to sort out final colour and costing (Chris has been super helpful answering all my questions), thinking mat black to match the wheels. My build will take a few months as the wheels are going to take a while to build. Hopefully on the road early Jan.

Planning to double sided sticky tape the bento box, not as clean a solution but allows for my ProfileDesign FC35 to be custom mounted in front of it. I plan on running the stock bars, unless my bike fitter says not to.

All the bike builds posted here are nice and clean looking.

What disc wheels are people using? I'm thinking of the Elite Wheels Bundle, due to price, but it looks like they are on backorder.
https://www.elite-wheels.com/product/time-trial-triathlon-wheels-tt-disc-brake-bundle/

Does anyone have any recommendations on what they have used for their builds?

I've just ordered the same bike. How was it for your full Ironman? I'm doing IM Copenhagen in August.

Did you Garmin/bottle cage 3D print work? Can you fit two bottles on there?
