Would you mind posting some photos showing this? Thanks
It's hard to post as I already use housing. Grommet is made from aluminium which is blocked by little metal inside the frame with this little screw H2. The grommet hole is too little to pass the housing so I detached from frame and drilled. After that i realize that I used a little to much torque :) So keep in mind that this screw is really really soft :)

Anyone has a problem with saddle tilt? Sometimes after coming back from out of the saddle, saddle can tilt a bit If I don't land perfectly in the middle.
Is this normal? Any fix?
I'm using carbon rails with 9x9, but it sits really nice, 12nm

Yup me as well. It's why I despise single clamping designs especially if your saddle rails aren't squarely clamped in the middle to evenly distribute weight.

Since I really need a 20mm offset seatpost I had push my saddle all the back to the very limits. This is a recipe for saddle tilt slippage upwards.

This is probably my main point of criticism with this frame (worse than the Mavic speed release). Single bolt saddle clamps are the absolute worst. I've added carbon paste for increased friction and tightened the bolt as much as I dare, and the problem is for now solved - until I hit a small pothole or something.

Only chain, brake bleeding and adjust front and rear derailleur and bar tape left. Including all of this weight should be 8.2kg with basic shimano pedals (approx 350g)
