Please note that due to the large number of components available on the market, we cannot provide a complete overview of all options in this manual and therefore cannot be held liable for incorrect combinations.
Therefore, when assembling your new veloheld frameset, please contact a professional bicycle workshop to ensure the compatibility of the parts in advance and carefully check the technical data of the parts manufacturer before assembly.
Classification veloheld.iconX
For riding on paved roads, such as asphalt roads and cycle paths, paved forest roads, field paths and hiking trails where there are few or no obstacles such as roots, thresholds, stones and steps. The wheels are in constant contact with the ground or may briefly lose contact with the ground due to minor bumps. This category includes urban and city bikes as well as cyclocross bikes with racing handlebars.
1st frame set
The frame and fork are ready for assembly when purchased directly from veloheld, i.e. the threads are cut and the bearing seats and seat tube are reamed out. It is not necessary to rework the frame for further assembly.Fit all other attachments to the frame using high-quality assembly grease and the appropriate torques with a torque wrench. This prevents corrosion and even after years of use, these parts can still be properly dismantled.
2. fork and headset
The fork is supplied with the bike and must be inserted after shortening the steerer tube to the desired stem height. The headset is already pressed in and must be finally assembled when the fork is fitted.
If in doubt, please ask a professional bike store to help you shorten the fork if you do not have the necessary knowledge and special tools. This is the only way to get the right length and ensure the safety of the steerer tube.
2.1. Body with steel fork
For further assembly, the Ahead claw must be inserted into the steerer tube of the steel fork. Please use an appropriate hammering aid or get help from a bicycle fitter.
Please do not use a metal claw when using the frame with the carbon fork. This would damage the carbon steerer tube to such an extent that a safe bike is no longer guaranteed.
Maximale Belastbarkeit: 5 kg pro Gabelseite
Maximales Drehmoment je Gewinde: 5 Nm
2.1. Body with carbon fork
Insert the supplied expander into the carbon steerer tube and tighten it with a 6 mm Allen key and 4-6 Nm. This allows you to mount the fork with your stem securely and without play in the headset.
The stem must be mounted on the carbon steerer tube with carbon mounting paste. Never use normal assembly grease for this.
When shortening the steerer tube of the carbon fork, please make sure to use a maximum of 35 mm spacers under the stem.
Maximum load: 3 kg per side
3. axes
The 12 mm thru axles are included in the accessory pack or are already mounted in the frame. When installing the wheels, please observe the specified 10 Nm torque and apply some grease to the thread.
To avoid damaging the tool holder of the axles, always ensure that the 6 mm Allen key is correctly positioned (at least 8 mm deep) during assembly and disassembly.
4. train routing
Derailleur gears without front derailleur
The derailleur cable and the brake cable can be routed internally in the down tube. The frame guides required for insertion into the down tube openings are included.
You are welcome to close unused threads with the plastic caps supplied.
Derailleur gears with front derailleur
You can route the rear shift cable and the brake cable internally in the down tube and the front shift cable externally through the supplied cable guides, which are screwed into the threads in the down tube with approx. 3 Nm. On Shimano front derailleurs, the counterholder/cable stopper is located directly on the front derailleur.
5. brakes
Only disc brakes with a flat mount can be used. It is not possible to use adapters to fit other brake standards.
The flatmount brake mount on the frame has a height of 15 mm. When using Shimano brakes, we recommend the following bolts for mounting the brake calliper with adapter for 160 mm rotors: C (Y8N208050) and C2 (Y2J708050). You can also use a little screw adhesive on the threads for a secure fit.
The maximum size of the brake disks on the fork and frame must not exceed 160 mm.
6. seat post
When fitting the seatpost, ensure that the required diameter of 27.2 mm is used. Before fitting the seatpost, check the inside of the seat tube for sharp edges and residue to avoid scratching the seatpost. Despite preparation by us, it cannot be ruled out that production-related residues may remain.
Use assembly grease when using an aluminum seatpost or carbon assembly paste for a carbon seatpost. The supplied clamp with 4 mm or 5 mm Allen key and max. Tighten to 5 Nm.
7. bottle holder
Please screw any bottle holder screws with max. 5 Nm when using bottle holders.
8. interchangeable derailleur hanger
The derailleur hanger is supplied with the bike and must be fitted to the dropout on receipt using a 3 mm Allen key and approx. 4 Nm. If you need a replacement, you can purchase a new Schaltage directly from us.
9. mounting luggage rack / mudguards
Please pay attention to the max. weight of the luggage carrier when mounting it. 5 Nm torque at the attachment points, the maximum load of 25 kg per rack on the frame and the instructions supplied by the manufacturers.
You are welcome to close unused threads with the plastic caps supplied.
If you equip the frame (and fork) with mudguards, please observe the maximum width of 40 mm when used with 28″ wheels and the instructions of the mudguard manufacturer.
If you are using veloheld mudguards, you can find the fitting instructions here:

The right handlebar width ensures comfort, control and riding enjoyment - especially on long distances and off-road.
The right handlebar width ensures comfort, control and riding enjoyment – especially on long distances and off-road.This is how you can easily determine it:
Our tip:
If you’re wavering between two widths, choose the narrower version for sportier riding – and the wider one for more comfort and control off-road.
