Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velo Build R-099 Build

No, I had it in and out multiple times. Made sure the bb was fully screwed in and drive side all the way through. With my last crank I lost the lock nut multiple times. So I installed the old one to see how far through the spindle went, and the case was the same. I just didn’t know before the Shimano security pin on the new crankset

So after a lot of trial and error I ended up switching to a Shimano bb and it worked :)

Hard to tell from the pictures. Did you try taking the crank arm bolts out completely and the little lock clip off and then pressing on the crank arm? Maybe it's a little tight or something.


Yes, it works when the crank is off!

Yeah, that’s the same I have. I’m missing 0,5-10mm for the safety pin to drop..

I’m trying to install my new Shimano 105 12 spd crankset. I’m using the ztto thread-together bottom bracket. It seems like it’s making the bb too wide for the cranks. Have anyone successfully installed Shimano cranks with this bb?

Nice build! Does anyone know if the fork needs an adapter to use 160mm rotor?

Hi! Has anyone built the frame with di2, and if so, how did you mount the battery?

Does anyone know if there's a 3rd party headset that works with the frame?
My handlebars/stem are too wide/long.
I know they now have a separate bar/stem, but I would love to be able to use any stem/handlebar combo.

I could be interested in the seat post. Have you got a price for it, other than the mould price?

Started building the bike today!!
I just cut the steerer tube, and now I noticed this inside the fork. Is it normal?

Thanks for the replies!
Fortunately today the tracking finally said “the shipment has been collected”, and in the manner of a couple of hours it says “left the country of origin”. So if I’m as lucky as with all the components I’ve received my frame by the end of next week. It’s a r099 tho, just hijacked this thread since it’s active :)

 I’m currently building my first chiner too, and couldn’t find chinese compressionless housing, so I web’t with this: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/trp-cableset?sku=100591397
10£ cheaper than jagwire is a nice saving imo.

Also I’m going for the ztto calipers, can report back when installed

Have anyone has problems with shipping with velobuild? I got promised it should be shipped two weeks ago, then the end of the week came and nothing new. Sent Chris a message, he said they would send it after last weeks holiday. The holiday ended Wednesday last week, heard nothing by Friday, so yet again I sent him a message. He said it was already sent and provided me a shipping number. The tracking only says “the sender is preparing item for posting”. It’s been like that for almost a week, aaand again I ask Chris for an update, he said it has been sent, then I get an email from velobuild that the order has been sent. But the tracking update remains the same.

I’m doing a (almost) full Ali build, and didn’t expect the frame to be the last thing to be received.

After a couple of weeks considering frame size and talking to Chris I’ve ordered the frame today. It’s my first total build (I’ve stripped some frames for most of it’s parts before), so I’m excited.
There has been some weird communication from Chris- like last week he said the shipping was 84 usd (the same as stated on their website), but yesterday he told me EMS haven’t been shipping to Norway (or that they ship but it has gotten way to expensive) so I have to pay extra for HK ems. Per now I’ve only paid for “normal” EMS, so let’s see what happens.

Thanks for all the replies! I’m gonna go for a 52, and I think the 100 mm stem.

Thanks for the tip! We're in lockdown, and will be for a while, so I can't get a fit and want to get going.

I see now I wrote wrong, I meant 52 or 54. The seller has pointed me towards a 54. Would you then say to go for 52?
