Having same issue. What kind of foam tape did you use ie what size? Struggling to find any locally.

Anyone know the specs of the saddle clamp bolt and also the saddle rail bolts? Quite soft bolt heads that are already rounding. Want to replace with titanium. Thanks

Yes please

That looks fantastic!!
Can I ask - do they put clear paint coat over the decals? It appears that way.

Yea I think the whole bike including the logos is clear coated

Got my pics from Wendy and tracking number. Hopefully here next week.
Went with the chameleon 08hs with gloss black logos for anyone else wondering.

cycloholic: Yeah that is basically it. Bolt length depends on frame thickness, Shimano supply bolts for 25mm frame thickenss (LCR018-D) should be that (can not confirm that on 100%, I dont have my frame yet ) as standard with calipers, if you need something else you need to buy separate and shimano rear 160mm adapter is sold separately also (Shimano SM-MA-R160D/D) it does not come with a frame.

so basically you just need to buy goupset with calipers and then just Shimano SM-MA-R160D/D adapter and you should have everything you will need.
I have no idea how Sram does it .

Thanks so much for clarifying that. Wasn't totally clear that bolt length was the same for both direct mount and adapter mount on the Shimano manual. Really cleared that up. Can't wait to get my frame now. Few more weeks hopefully! Have a 58 in chameleon hs08 incoming.

Front: M5x15 and rear: M5x35 when using 140mm break disc, otherwise, the rear bolts will be correspondingly longer.

Thanks so much for replying and excuse my inexperienced here. If I want to run 160mm rotors on the rear I need to use the flat mount adapter for 140m frame? If I do do you know what length bolts I would then need?

Hey guys. Can anyone who has build or has a frame in hand confirm what length bolts are needed for both front and rear ultegra hydraulic brakes? Picked up a barely used ultegra groupset while awaiting my frame but didn't receive bolts and want to order the correct tlength ones before the frame arrives.

Hi, yes this is a Shimano direct mount hanger.
I double checked all measurements directly with the company before ordering.

This is the exact model:
Framesandgear Direct Mount Derailleur Hanger For UDH Systems (Shimano) P1.0

Thanks so much for that. Think it looks amazing and with the better shifting benefits of direct mount I will be getting one.

No adaptator needed.

Thank you

Hi guys. Long time lurker and very rare poster here. Have a 58 incoming and just planning the build. Have a ultegra di2 12sp group waiting to go on this bike but confused about one thing. Do I need an adapter for the rear brake piston to run a 140mm rotor on the rear? Planing on a 160 front 140 rear.

Build is continuing slowly, but very smoothly indeed.
This is one of the nicest and easiest frames I've worked on - a real joy to build.

I was so happy with the finish of the frameset that I decided to go for the Frames & Gear direct mount derailleur hanger. What a great decision that was - it is an absolute piece of art.

That looks amazing. Can I ask you what model hangar this is? Is it the udh compatible direct mount for Shimano? Works ok with the lightcarbon thru axles?

I was hoping to get the laser logo also but was told by Wendy it was out of stock and would cost an additional 300usd. Anyone else been told similar?

Hello.

Does anyone have any experience with Hongfu and in particular with the Avenger Shuttle or Shuttle SL? I have been scouring the forum, but there hasn't been a lot of information regarding this frameset. I am able to purchase them for sub 1k USD atm, so they seem very tempting with FSA NO 55 R headset, T47 external, UDH hanger, 32C and a weight of 870 for normal and 750 for SL.

Mind sharing where it's available for that price?
