I don't think there is a support bolt on this one.
I'm going to have a look to make sure but i hardly doubt of it.

105 R7000 derailleur also has the advantage of not needing an inline cable tension adjuster as there's one on the derailleur.

hi all

the 105 front derailleur solved the issue.
definitly  less tension on cable is requiered, shifting light a charm.
Conclusion : Sensha front derailleur is crap and may even damage your frame (inserts).

I've been riding "IRL" this morning. 75km and wouaaaa the bike is really nice  :)
still some adjustment and fine tune here and there, but yes the frame react well and it's a pleasure to ride
more pics to come

Hi all
This is THE DAY :)
I finally recived the frame.
It looks really great :)
Only disapointment is that they forget to provide the seat clamping. so i have a nice carbon seat tube ... but noway to fix the seat on it.
i reach out to the seller and i have no doubt that he will find a solution.
OG evkin store have been super responsive so far.

As i'm starting the assembly i figured that the front ZtTO brake have two washer provided (see attachement)
Any idea of what this is for  ?

Hi,

I have done a pretty much full Chinese build using the Velobuild VB-R-068 (7.4Kg all up). I also used the Ztto BB BB109 Ceramic bearing, Just a word of warning, they wear out VERY fast! Less than 3000Km and mine was shot. Not a lot of riding in the wet but some, also was the same on my track bike using the same BB. So I have gone back to a std Shimano BB. Also, the OG-Evkin SL 10 speed chain, chuck it in the bin, snapped it in a TT start. So stick with Shimano Original chain, or known brand. Other than that, my ALiExpress bought Shimano Crankset and brakes have been mint and looking to get Shimano XT for a Mtn Bike build from AliExpress.
