Ax-lightness Vial EVO Race build

[ChengHaoChang]

Vial Evo D is a discontinued model, so your only chance is to get an old stock frameset somewhere.

Phase out ? so that mean is the VIAL Race & VIAL Ultra better than Evo D ?
but the VIAL ultra build with THM fork is for addition order....

Here we go!

Any thoughts on frame protection? I have thin protection tape and thought about cutting up a chainstay protection strip, or should I buy a specific thicker chainstay sticker kit? Also I'm considering if I should put a tape strip under the down tube? Maybe that is not necessary... Ideas appreciated..

This looks like it's going to be a fantastic build, some very nice components building up!

Can anyone offer up suggestions for bar plugs? I'm wrapping the Ax bras in Busyman leather tape and was thinking Carbonice or Tune plugs. I'm not sure if the Carbonice are for bar tape or just mountain bike bars. All ideas appreciated!

Look forward to seeing those, shame your not in Adelaide, would love to have seen it in person. Was debating to get one but ended up with an Urgestalt.

Let me know if you're ever up here, I'd be happy to show you in person.

The fairwheel carbon bar plugs are great. I have them on both roadies.

So the big job now is measuring up all my geometry from the old bike and setting this up as close as I can. Then I'll do the first steerer tube cut and mount the levers and brake cables. I'm without cranks though.... The Dzero's are still not in stock so haven't been shipped...

I may have a set of fair wheel plugs if not I can get some more in

Thanks! I did order some busyman cnc plugs but I imagine they will be "heavy"! So the fair wheel could be the go. I'll speak to you next week after the busyman's arrive.

These are the ones he is sending up.

Bikes coming along nicely, looks awesome with the matching parts. How long until you will receive the crank.? Are you keeping a log of all the weights, what do you think the total weight will be. ?
