This will work with the housings. But I think that you can then pull out the cables for circuit and brake, but by the squeezing of the cables on the brakes or the shifting you will no longer be able to bring them back into the housing.

Quick question, is anyone running mechanical Ultegra on this frame?  I've been looking for a DI2 groupset but they are $$$.  I'd love to get away with a mechanical set if I could.
I am alsi running a mech Ultegra. It works fine. The routing of the Cables was not that complicatet as i thought.
Take your time with it and it will work.

I put the front brake on the left side of the handlebar and did not get any problems with it. In general, I felt a slight restoring force on the handlebars after installing the cables. But I think that this is normal. When driving this is not particularly noticeable.

If I mount the rear caliper without adapter, then fits on the rear wheel a 160mm disc or only a 140mm?

Thanks for the answers. I meant the front one. I know until now only those who have this adjuster in the line.
If it has newer with an adjuster on the derailleur itself then my question is settled.

I have a question for those who have installed mechanical shifters. How or where did you put the adjuster for the derailleur?

Thanks again for the information.
I just ordered a Velobuild 168 frame.
The frame I ordered without painting, I want to do that myself. I already have some ideas.
Now I have to wait until it arrives in Germany.
Does anyone have experience how long it takes?

Thanks for the replies, I think I will give mechanical braking a chance.
Now it is still to determine the right frame size for me.

Thanks for the repys so far. I will watch the Vids today in the evening.
At first it is not about the costs, ist about the thing to build a Bike not using any Parts from the big brands.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Questions about disc brakes
« on: February 01, 2022, 05:34:45 AM »
Hello together,
I have been reading the forum for some time now.
I have now decided to build myself a new road bike.
I have chosen the Velobuild R 168 as my frame. Now I'm planning the rest of the components.
I would also like to use Chinese components. There are plenty of gears etc. to buy on Aliexpress. What I'm missing, however, is a way to mount hydraulic disc brakes.
The only disc brakes I've been able to find so far are those that are operated by cable.
Are there really no purely hydraulic ones, or have I just not found them yet?
It would be nice if you could give me some help here.
Regards
Christian
