1st proper ride with the VB-TT-023 todayIs the ospw fake?
Bike is truly stiff, broke alot of PR’s today on a route that i havent been on for several months. Considering that this is my first time on a TT bike, i am truly happy with the frame and my build, no issues on a 63 mile ride with 1k feet of elevation, i completed the ride in 3:06.22 averaging 20.1mph on 204watts.
These are probably the lightest 4 piston brakes on the market right now? I'm considering it for my incoming ultralight build.got mine down to 340g with 2 piston calipers. you can see if the trickstuff levers are compatible but they are pricey.
The front triangle is the same as the M861. It uses a full integrated cable design.How is the rear triangle different?
The rear triangle and carbon rocker arm are redesigned. The strength will be increased by 30%.
SC-48VThis guy has fake EE brakes. Hide the money yall there is broke people around!
Ordered at the end of August last year. Cost about $800 shipped. It did take a while to get here. I received the frameset mid-December.
I did have some minor build issues. There were a few noises after the initial build. One was the seatpost needed shimming. I'm not sure if it was due to the seatpost itself being too small or if the frame's tube is slightly too big. Wasn't hard to fix.
There was a very annoying noise that was difficult to find. It ended up being benign. It was the metal grommet where the brake cable for the rear brake exited the frame. I probably could have quieted it down somehow, but I decided to run housing the entire length of the frame for the rear brake and both shifters. This got rid of all of these grommets. While doing this I discovered the housing inside the frame for the front and rear derailleurs was twisted together for some reason. The shift quality for the rear mech was noticeably improved after running housing all the way to the back. No noticeable difference in feel for the rear brake and front derailleur.
I've probably ridden the bike 1000 miles so far. I don't notice any comfort issues, but maybe I'm just use to stiff frames. My old bike was still running 23cc tires. Overall, I'm happy with what I got. It's a fast bike up the hills and that was what I wanted.
1640gAbout how much extra will the new carbon link weigh? Also what's the difference in weight across a frame that's matte black vs raw carbon? Thanks
Would you guys say this is a worthy PEEccola clone?Yup so far so good. Just over 1k miles of hard training and UCI level racing. Keep in mind I had these set up with 2 piston calipers and without pads the set weighs 324g which is seriously light. Pads weigh 20g for front and rear. Only complaint is that you can't lock the cable in place.
sorry, I'll piss off now
Replace aluminum rocker arm. Size L, matt black frame, weight 1749g.Too heavy, how much does it weight with the carbon rocker link and no paint?
I'll take whatever impressions I can getso far good. I wish they pushed a bit more fluid per stroke length and I wish the clamp was a standard Sram or Shimano clamp or even the trickstuff clamps. Also wish it didn't have the no tool reach adjust as it is unnecessary and adds grams/looks ugly. I also wish the hoses would stay still when you tighten the banjos at the lever especially on the front brake. they are 328g for the set which is S- tier.
Yeah don't get one. That's one area carbon doesn't have an advantage. An UNO ultralight alloy stem is the way to go. Get a set of titanium bolts to cut an additional 10 or so grams.There's some darimo ix2al replica stems out rn that seem good

Nice find. Is there anyone who has experience with these?Too thin, 1.5mm is the min and these start and 1.55. id recommend galfer or centerline X
They use SRAM's Level dual pistons caliper style of pads for the LV2, Hope's E4 pads style for the LH4 and the LV4 and Hope's V4 pads style for the LHT Ultimate.
On another note, my bike got stolen last weekend so i won't be able to give more updates to you guys about the LV4... I'm sorry.
They were flawless last time i was able to used them, that's all i can say.

Nearly finished my build.a new crankset light a skypivot would be a lot lighter or the new stuff from elilee thats coming out soon (24mm spindle)
Final result will come at the end of this week.
Goal sub 7kg will be reached - any tips to save some weight?
