My frame has finally arrived! Factory painted, size S. $550 on black Friday. Long delivery due to my problems.
Only quality issues are with the seatposts. But the quality is better in depth.

And the disaster continues. 3rd dead er9 RD. again, randomly and for no reason. Was riding with my friend, who really hasn't used his new bike much, less than ten rides for sure. Dry, 20 Celsius, smooth asphalt, largely flat. 35km into the ride, his RD dies like the other 2. So there's my er9 on which I've put almost 4k km that's working fine (sometimes it charges weird, but at least it's working), and the fifth one isn't being used because the front wheel on that bike broke during a crash and we're still waiting for a replacement.
At which point can I preemptively ask for extra spare RDs? I'm happy to beta test, but we can't be 6 weeks without derailleurs every time one kills itself.

So, turns out that lip is the limit line for the seatpost.. if you want the seatpost to go in further then you need to cut. I got it out, or i should say my LBS did.

I have to say that I strongly discourage the use of this disc rotor. It completely neglects mechanical simulation and the bracket itself is prone to fracture. Furthermore, the pattern design is a mess, with hollow patterns distributed unevenly on several concentric circles. As a result, the friction rate of the entire disc rotor in the radial direction cannot achieve consistency, leading to the formation of grooves on your brake pads... It's a design that leaves me speechless.

Lol those holes are the most retarded pattern imaginable, it's almost funny. imagine the donkey who came up with the design.

I also tend more to aluminum. Any brands or frame models to recommend? They don’t seem popular on alibaba

Tsunami GR02, thats a good aluminum frame.

Inject a little grease. You can do it like this

I've mostly finished my build and opted for mechanical shifting. In hindsight, I wish I'd invested a bit more in wireless, as the process turned out to be quite challenging. The handlebar holes were particularly difficult, and using a soft cable cover (neoprene) only created more issues. Now, I'm dealing with a seized seatpost. It seems there's excess carbon inside the seattube, forming a lip that initially prevented the seatpost from fitting properly. I managed to remove the lip by turning the bike upside down, but now the seatpost is stuck. I've tried WD-40 without success and gently tapped it with a mallet, but I'm concerned about damaging the frame or seatpost.

Any ideas?

I might be wrong, but I think the lip is there to prevent the seatpost from being inserted too far. There is a maximum insertion and you have to cut your seatpost if it is too long. Forcing the seatpost past this ridge probably has gotten it jammed.

Maybe you can install an old saddle and tap it from the bottom?

Thanks for the explanation. With integrated headset, is there a way to install this spacer without having to undo all my hydraulic cables?
I installed without undoing my Force AXS hydraulic cables
