Has anyone else noticed headset creak? My headset has developed a creak when I sprint and I’m worried that the bearings are seated correctly or that the carbon is deforming. Anyone else with this frame had that issue? I am going to email velobuild to see if they know anything.

Great looking build. How does it ride so far?

Rides reallyyy well. Still fiddling with the disc rotor alignment and derailleur indexing a little but that is to be expected. Teething. Only thing that has sucked are those TT pro tyres. Two punctures in 100mi??

Nice bike! Did they paint the seatpost for you? Didn't know that was possible.

I'm currently working on my R-099. My very first project without any experience. But so far lot's of fun!
See: https://roadmeister.cc for the progress.

Yeah, I saw an example on the site and thought it looked good so I just asked and they were able to do it. I they could have done the bars too but I liked them black.

My VeloBuild arrived last week and I just got it built up. Its great, the construction seems really good. everything was precise and in the right places. There were definitely a couple little details that had been overlooked. For example, it would have been really helpful to have a shift cable race under the bottom bracket but instead it was just a hole. Which means that you have to remove the BB to replace the front shift cable. But this is at the end of the day a little thing. Overall, really good experience. Excited to get a sense of how it rides after getting a couple 100 miles on it.

Hey,

I also just ordered one of these frames and am in the process of collecting all the parts for it when it arrives. Can you tell me what size rotors the frame can accommodate? a bunch of chinese frames seem to be 140/140 but I can't tell from your photos.

Thanks!
