Algreen, may I know, did your rear hydraulic brake hose go over or under the bottom bracket?

May I ask what you used to press your bottom bracket?

The BBinfinite bottom bracket comes with a pressing cup and I have the wheels manufacturing bearing press tool. Don't try hammering. There's lots of DIY options to build a bearing press that cost $5 from a hardware store. YouTube is your friend on how to build.

Hey i was looking to get this frame from VeloBuild and i'd like to know how it's holding up and most importantly if there is enough room to put a power meter (mine is dual sided from Giant which sticks out by 6mms from the crank) ?

Cheers !

I've got about 3,000 miles on it and it's been great. Comfortable, responsive, solid. I don't think you'll have any issues with a power meter clearance near the chain stays. I use ultegra cranks and there is a 9mm gap on NDS and 18mm on DS.

Seems a little tight to me, it would let only 3mm at best and i'm not sure it would clear the nearest spot of the bottom brack, since the NDS power thingy is pretty close to the bottom bracket.

Update 3,250mi.

Updated the last part on my build list, The EXS carbon handlebar, 38cm. Claimed weight is 175g, actual is 171g which I think is very respectable for the price. Finish on the bars is very nice. 98g reduction from the aluminum Zipp SL-70 Ergo. This puts my build at my goal weight of 6.8kg! (6.88kg to be exact).

No further mods at this time. Just going to enjoy it and ride while I plan an aero build. Was considering throwing on some gravel tires for the Fall season.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your height/measurements? Looking into this frame but a bit unsure what size to get (i'm somewhere between XS/S)

Thanks! I'm at 173 so would think I need the size higher but i'm not sure that I like that the stack height increases so dramatically with size S. Might have to look at other options...
