Quote from: aeroquest on October 27, 2026, 03:48:00 AMHi everyone! A friend of mine wants to order this frame in a custom color, but the WhatsApp link on the Velobuild website doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how we can get in touch with Velobuild?

Quote from: Tijoe on October 24, 2026, 11:01:40 PMWhen you design the frame to fit 2.4" tires, this drives a wider BB shell (T47 – 85.5 mm). This in turn pushes out the chainline.  A wider chainline works better with a Boost/148 rear hub.
 

sure, I get it. But this one has MTB boost axle 15x110 for the front hub rather than road 12x110 boost I've seen used on some of the western brands.
32" mtbs will have super boost and gravel bikes will upsize to boost which probably means we will need boost cranksets as well

MTB boost axle spacing? Is this standard for 32er? I've seen some models with road boost 110x12 and 148x12

I'm stuck in one gear until I can connect the charger.

This happened to my ER9. In my case the reason was probably the vibration. When your battery is low, the drivetrain will automatically cut it off to prevent a complete drain. When you hit the bump, battery cell might loose the connection inside of the battery holder which will result in the buttery cut off until the charger is connected.
I ended up replacing the battery holder that i've been using for over a year and haven't had problems since. Maybe the spring inside of the holder loosens over time making it easier to loose the connection on the bumps

does anyone know how to buy one in Europe? All of the aliexpress listings seem to be region locked

How much of a pita is the downtube bottle cage being mounted to the access hatch in practice? Does it rattle annoyingly? Is it likely to get worse with age/use? It does seem like a potential problem on a gravel bike exposed to rough terrain.
Still I guess you could just tape or glue the hatch shut if it is a problem. The whole storage box inside a CF frame seems a gimmick anyway.

Mine does rattle our of the box so im looking for the options to silence it. Will try rubber seal and see if it helps

This isnt' the same frameset? That has an integrated aero post? What mould is that?

That's just ai slop

Greetings,

Since the geometry is near identical, is there any specific reason to choose the SP G028, MEINIER-GRL15, or Mondice FM-376? I assume if value is most important, the Meinier is the top choice.

Cheers

If they were all the same price I would get the Mondince because I like the design more and the fact that the storage door does not hold the bottle. But it cost 50% more so I bought Meinier

LTWOO GRT is still thumb lever, and Sensah SRX is SRAM-style doubletap. So I don't really consider them comparable.

The closest thing to Shimano-style shifting is... LTWOO RX Pro with GR9 rear derailleur? Which ends up ~60% the cost compared to Shimano R7120 (idk UK prices)? Questionable value prop

there are grt sets with a new style shifters on ali https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005009998522746.html

Damn this bike is ugly. That headtube looks horrific

My meinier build is nearly finished.
overall quality is ok considering the price. It's probably the best t47 BB i've seen so far. very clean. The frame looks much better in person. I chose it over the sp cycle because of those horrific steering tube images and I also like the profile of the frame better with meinier seatpost clamp design.
There's a couple of quirks though.
1) Provided headset doesn't really work with the frame. The compression ring is way too tall leaving the gap of about 5mm when installed so I had to look for a different ring/cover combination.
2) I picked a raw frame and there are some visible "problems". I ordered no rivets on the fork but it looks like the holes were there and they were just covered and painted over with black paint. Also there are some splashes of black paint here and there under the clear coat. some on the joints which is expected but some are just in random places like on top of the top tube. Not a dealbreaker, just a minor complaint.
3) Chainstay is super tight so I barely managed to route the eGR cable. Can't imagine building it with mechanical shifting.
4) storage door didn't fit the frame. It was about 1-1.5mm too long so I had to sand down the edges. Even after that it does not sit flush with the frame but it's acceptable. I will probably have to add some thin adhesive rubber around the edges to make it weather proof.

Hi,

Quick question: what brake rotors are supported in the fork? Is it 140/160 or 160/180? Is it the same for SPcycle and Meinier?

Thanks in advance!

It's 140/160 on Meinier. not sure about the sp cycle

Quote from: yappy on September 24, 2026, 09:40:32 PM
Yes, I'm talking about the 2nd gen EGR (13s). If they can be paired, I'd buy them. That means a 2x13 setup is possible, right?

I asked the same question in the egr thread and someone responded that they are not compatible

Does anyone have experience with TanTan's warranty process? While doing some maintenance this morning, I noticed a crack around the drive-side bottom bracket. The bike was built up earlier this year and has only logged around 2,000 km so far.

that looks like a chain drop damage
