With my Tarmac I have a saddle elevation of 8 cm size 56 here it is 12 cm because the handlebar angle is negative

The angle is different with wheels on - it will be more level.

My build is going great but I realize I do not have quick release axles. The axles that came with the frame appear to need an allen wrench. Is this what you all got? How do I find the right size quick release to order?

Can someone scan a seatpost wedge so I can 3d print it?

Sorry mine is still in the bike, which is currently hanging in the stand. Closest I could find is this:



Mine was in the bag with headset parts.

Can anyone link to a seatpost wedge on ebay that looks like it will work? I dont want to wait for this to be shipped from China

Velobuild 168 - there is a thread on here about it. Lots of people are buying these.

Dang it! I never got one of those. And strangely I have 2 extra things that I do not know what they are for.

Any idea where I can order one the thing to hold the seatpost up? Is it the same on a SL7 and I could order one of those. But the sl7 looks like there is a spot in front of the steadpost for something.

It will take a long time to get here from Velobuild.

I found this seatpost cover on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384280172714

Thanks a lot! Not sure about the 3k or 12k, not really my field of expertise .

Managed to find the correct bearing based on measurements of the one that was supplied, seems to be a standard 1,5" bearing.

OD: 52mm
ID: 40mm
Thickness: 7mm
Angle: 45/45

Furthermore I quickly test fitted the SL7 seatpost cover, fits perfectly:

There should be a wedge included which you slide in the seat tube from the top, this wedge can be tightened using a hex bolt from the underside. I will share a picture of the wedge later today if needed.

Yes show me a picture - this is the only thing I seem to be missing.

I am trying to find out how to secure the seatpost. Is there a clamp or something that keeps it from sliding down?

Here is my VBR 168 I am finally building. It is a dark metallic red but the pictures do not do it justice due to a lack of light. I will take more pictures in the daylight outside to show it off when I am done.

I went with a size 56 which is down a size so hopefully it fits. I am on the line between 56/58.
