Hey fellow 018-D Lurkers!

First of all: big thank you to all of you for sharing all these valuable infos - also great to see LC active on this forum.

I’ve recently ordered a 58cm (lead time end of October) with an own, custom design.
Was in contact with Wendy and overall I’m very pleased with the ordering experience. Due to the kind of complicated design it took a while to dial everything in (and at some point Wendy should have told us earlier that some parts of the planned design is not possible to paint, would have saved a couple of hours of work with the designer) but in the end we‘ve found a good solution.


I am 193cm with a 93cm inseam. I’ve used Bike-stats to match the position of my Dropbar MTB and went for a 110mm Stem.
The bike is going to be a long distance/all road project.
Will use my 45mm Light Bicycle WR45 wheelset (with a SON Delux & Carbon Ti X Hub).
Biggest challenge will be the routing of the dynamo cable to my front light.
Groupset is likely a mix of Force E1, and Garbaruk Stuff. 44T to 52-10

Thanks for your response man!

The only thing that has me worried is that the seatpost is 400MM long and only has 200MM which can be used. This is what i can find online.

I have the same height as you around 810-815MM. Do you own the bike and are riding with this set up ?

Thanks!!

Today I´ve recieved the pictures of my frameset. A bit more colorful then all these black beauties
Lets see how the decals shine in daylight - they should have the same color as the dropouts but look a bit darker. In the End, if I cant stand it, Ill get matching ones later on...

A lot of words to say you don’t know nothing about T-Type Derailleurs.
I don’t want to be salty but it’s impressive to see some people in this thread with ZERO knowledge trying to explain / solve problems. Please educate yourself before doing it with others. It’s dangerous. (And no, this not only addresses you)

To solve the problem:
- measure the width of the frame and compare it to sram specifications
- check the SRAM T Type Videos. They are very helpful.
- if you got another UDH frame, compare it to the LC.
- did you torque it to specific torque?
- the plastic insert/washer is installed correctly and the silver part of the derailleur is perfectly fine.
- if the frame is not wide enough I would try to install washers. BUT this can cause problems and may result in failures. Personally I’d go with washers on both sides until everything sits flush.
- do you got an original UDH dropout? Try to install that and compare it to the Derailleur.
- UDH is a standard. You either use a UDH Dropout to use a non Direct Mount Derailleur OR a Direct mount derailleur.
- there should not be a crack - T-Types sit flush on frame and washer. No matter if it’s MTB (GX, XX) or XPLR 13spd

My frame should arrive next week. I can check XPLR 13 Speeds, MTB T-Type and various UDH Dropouts. Also I can compare it to different UDH Frames and send these exact measure of dropouts.
