Now I glued the little metal plate from Shimano like this.
I don't think it will hold very long time, but the feature of the screw kinda works
There would be also the possibility to glue (2k) a little metal plate onto the hanger. But I don't know if that is necessary.
FYI - the ZRace XG calipers have been working fine at least for road. Nothing wrong with LTwoo calipers and they might be better if aero is a priority, but since I focus more on climbing I prefer the weight drop of the XG calipers. I've been using them on both my mechanical Ultegra and ER9 bikes with no problems so far.
I don't know about it working perfectly without that stabilizing screw. The screw keeps the derailleur aligned for more consistent shifting for longer without it rubbing
With this group my first reaction is always this forum than youtube and last resort the manual. Think I've got my priorities wrong ;-)
I wish there was a dislike button. Who are you, and how much 1st hand experience with VB and other frames do you have?
Saying there is "no quality control whatsoever from velobuild" is simply false. I don't even want to argue, I just wish posts could be downvoted.
It seems only recent shimano derailleurs have this "stabilizing screw". Don't worry front derailleurs work perfectly without this feature.I don't know about it working perfectly without that stabilizing screw.

Wendy did reply to me and tried to help we're she can. I really appreciate that. But she told me that there is only this hanger version. So I guess I have to go without the stabilizing screw and try to index it somehow. As I'm reading in other forum it is also like that to e.g. Basso frames.It seems only recent shimano derailleurs have this "stabilizing screw".

Unfortunately I can't post anything yesterday. Seems like the Website has some problems. I still can't post pictures for some reason.
I was wrong about the hanger. It isn't screwed. It looks like 2.5mm hex but it is riveted.

In terms of internal cable routing, I finished that yesterday. With the right tools it was possible but not fun at all
I don't know if it is normal but when I turn the handlebar, there is a hearable rubbing of the cables in the headset area. Should be normal I guess, because the cables need to move somehow when the handlebar is turned. It's my first internally routed frame.
it's also written in the LTWOO instructions manual that comes with the group, from memory.
Agreed. And the 177 is improved over the 168. And the 268 is improved over both 177 & 168.
