Ayyyye thanks for the support! My Velobuild bikes and the support of the members here have a been a tremendous help for the channel.

I was able to fix the creak by doing two things:

1. Increased the torque of the seatpost clamp from 6nm to about 7.5nm

2. I changed saddles. The included saddle rail clamps to accommodate 7x9 saddles are flawed. VeloBuild is aware. Using the 7x7 clamps instead along with 7x7 metal rail saddle fixed the issue.

Painting on the VB 268 like $50-$80 extra. If you can get the Winspace T1500 for $1000 then it's worth it. Otherwise yeah use the money for some nice wheels. I really love the Magene Exar Ultra/Dark wheels at the price point.


Sheesh thanks for your service Pat on all these videos you churning out man!

Finally placed my order today, hoping to the shipping gods that it will arrive before a race that I will be attending on the 21st of September jeez!

How many weeks have you guys received yours? I opted to go just the stock matte black and would probably repaint it next year or so in order to save shipping times

Got the NECO Large headset expander as well, props to you again Pat!

Keep the videos coming! ordered a 53-39 Crankset, an equally pancake flat that is Abu Dhabi comparable to Chi-town.

Lovin all those RnB in between references as well

Lastly, PAT do you ever recommend those Ceramic BB86 from Aliexpress?

Trying to catch up on all my messages. As good practice with budget frames, I always use expander plugs from the brand called "Neco" which can be found on Amazon for like $13-$20. Length large, aluminium or carbon top cap. Not the lightest plug ever but no slippage. Especially if you plan to run spacers above the stem

Yo how patty welcome boys and girls, love your videos man I’m a subscriber by the way.
You mentioned in your first ride initial impressions that you are hearing a creaking sound somewhere on the frame, is there an upcoming follow up video on that?

Is the seatpost stable and not slipping out of the box or did you applied some vinyl plastic on it?

Really like last year’s video where you presented your 3 bike fleet the allez sprint, t1500, and the yoeleo, I have a guy that’s local to me selling a t1500 but am torn about the price vs this vbr 268. That extra 1000 bucks can be spent on other essential parts of the bike. Is 599 inclusive of a custom paint? Needing it in just pearl white finish without branding.


Saludos amigo Patty! Cuidate mi Pana!

Wait.. So it's cheaper to buy it with Shimano 105 12s and wheels, than getting just the frame set?

IKR?! I myself am confused, I will try to reach out to the store if the pricing that is shown is an error or what's really the dealio why the frame costs like an arm and a leg.

You may want to drop them an email or WhatsApp for your concerns bro, a legit store here in Dubai, where I shop for affordable cycling products.

This Bross Bike kinda reminds me of the Scott Foil, isn't it?

Oh this shattered my hopes to build one using the Hygge Frame;



So apparently this guy had snapped his seat stays when he accidentally unclipped and have hit that part.

is the EPS Mould Update addressing this issue?

I have been wondering for the past 2-3 years too, where are these type of frames?
Are the Taiwanese manufacturers limiting production to bulk brand orders?
