Did you use the bolts that come with the Magene p515 or did you keep the default ultegra chainring bolts ?

Also did you use any spacers ?

The bolts that came with the P515 did not fit for me and i used the Shimano Chainbolts (Ultegra & Dura Ace Chainring Bolts) as far as i can remember. I put the cassette straight from the packaging onto the hub.

but I'd be surprised if I'm the only one experiencing this with this specific setup.

I have the same setup and haven't had anything you'd describe. What did happen was the bolt that holds the whole crankset together became undone which obviously affects the front mech and shifting. even then everything ran smooth on the rear cassette. could it be that your chain is too long and in the smallest cogs you lose derailleur tension?

Perhaps someone can help. Ordering at Anrancee/Yiwu Donglue a 105 or Ultegra Groupeset! At Checkout i get a 150$ Discount from ALIX for later Taxes in Germany! what are youre experiences with taxes in germany at ordering a groupeset! Is it allready prepaid as Anrancee/Yiwu Donglue are claiming? Or does i need to pay later? Or just luck because goods are declared below 150€?

Like I posted before, I did not pay all that much (to the Netherlands), but I have come to realise it is a bit hit or miss if customs will check your package or not, and the consequences can result in you paying a hell of a lot more money than you would save. Would I do it again? Probably, but there is a risk.

For those doubting to pull the trigger, based on this sub I decided to get both an ultegra Di2 (without crank) and a full 105 Di2 from anrancee store on aliX (to the Netherlands) closing in in about 1650 eu total. Everything went smoothly but was nerve wrecking. As other had noted the store contacted me saying that the declared value would be set to 110 EU. After this a tracking was provided on aliX which did not update up until 2-3 before delivery. At delivery I had to pay approx. 40 EU additionally for import and taxes which was about 1/10th of that what I expected, should I needed to pay it in full. Overall the experience was good once things got rolling. Packaging was superb, everything was individually wrapped in paper and bubbles. Now the long wait for the frame starts

Just received photos/videos of my 520 size finished painted frame, ready for delivery in about 1-3 days.
They said, it's about 15 days delivery time by airplane to Germany.

Looking forward for the October built!  :)

Its very good to hear that they are going into shipping! what color did you have the frame painted?
