I'm running mechanical shifting as well and needed to run cable housing fully to the derailleurs as their is no means for keeping tension otherwise. Internal cable routing kit and having access to the downtube through the storage door made it less maddening, but still had some trouble with passing through the chain stay for the rear shift cable. Seems to be very little space internally where the sections are joined. On a positive my shifting is smoother due to the full cable runs. The fork doesn't have an internal channel for the brake cable, so that was annoying to have to fish through what seems to a bit of a sharp angle/blocked path to get down the leg of the fork.

I love the internal storage and fortunately have had no issues with the door or door latch (yet?). my door does have a small amount of foam along the bottom U part of the door facing the frame. I have a cloth covered chain lock push down towards he bottom bracket and a resealable thick plastic bag with pump, tools and spare tube pushed up towards the headtube. Very slick. The internal cables don't seem to have an issue with this. If anything it hold them in place so they aren't moving around as much. Oh and a full size 4mm allen key because the seat clamps are terrible. I've probably pushed the torque too far as I had the seat angle slip each of my first two ride within a couple miles. Has been good since with a bit over 100 miles in.

Original design seat post does not seem to have slipped with 9nm and no carbon paster (i forgot and since it seems god I don't want to mess with it.)

Overall bike seems great and rides great. They did ship without sending me picks that were agreed on. And my original shipping was delayed about a month when they were out of the size bars I wanted. The bare carbon with gloss clearcoat still seems weird to show very little of the "carbon weave" look that it seems most folks associate with carbon fiber. I had seen other people's pics, but I guess I was still expecting more. Inside the storage door in the downtube looks amazing. I guess that outside layer is either a very fine mesh or generous amounts of black filler or epoxy to smooth out the frame? Still cool and shimmery and looks every bit like too much bike for me :)

Yeah im running a full cable housing as well! Found out after i put all the cables through the frame so i had to redo all of it, wich was shit haha

I finished my build a month ago. Wanted to share some point with you after a couple of rides.

- my seatpost kept slipping. Contacted Wendy, she told me there is a new version of the seatpost. She is getting one ready for shipment. Good service!

- I torqued my seatpost to 10NM and used more carbonfiber paste. It didn't slip anymore, but my seatpost is damaged due the slipping.

- I build my bike up with a mechanical shimano 105. It works but the frame is designed for electrical groupsets if you ask me. It took me a lot of time to funnel all the cables thru. Because i have a lot more cables running thru the frame, i can't use the frame bag because of this.

For the rest i am loving this bike so far. Quality is excellent and i have no problems what so ever!

Can someone please help me choosing the right BB-tool.

i've bought this senicx BB: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005008822446507.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.47.212279d2eA1Lxn&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld

And i've bought this BB-tool: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007953533902.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.16.212279d2eA1Lxn&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld

Now the big problem is as you can see in the pictures. It doesn't fit. Just barely. I don't know wich one i should buy now because these sizes should fit togheter.

Thanks.

so i just measured the outside diameter of the BB, senicx says it is 49mm but i measure 52mm. So thats why my 50mm tool doesn't fit.
Should i then buy the HEPPE 52mm or the 52,2MM tool just to be sure?

You can have a look at one of my previous post. I answered it. If you have bought the BB from LC, you can take the 50mm-16T.

Yeah i have the bb from senicx. Not sure how many teeth since i can't find that information online on my working pc. Will check it at home.

You'll want both of these items https://imgur.com/QA8GMnY from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007953533902.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.103.797a1802IUnXzU

 I have to check if my bb has 12 or 16 teeth. Otherwise this one will not work. I only see 50mm with 16 teeth, no 49mm with 16 teeth only with 12 teeth. Not sure why but maybe a 50mm will also work?

Thanks for helping out!

I asume you want a tool for the bb LC themselves provide. You need one with a diameter of 49 mm and 16 teeth

Thanks! I thought i needed this one, thanks for the confirmation!

Can someone please give me a link to the right bb-tool you need for the T47 BB?

Thanks!!!! :)

Just got a message from wendy, my size 58 frame is ready for shipment!

12
24 mm is the correct one for shimano cranks, remember to buy the correct tool for installation if necessary

Yeah about that tool, still not sure wich one to buy. Will see once the BB is delivered.

13
TT47-85,5- (24 for Shimano or 29 for SRAM).

Yeah i've got a shimano crank and groupset, so this will work then? i've got it in 24mm in my basket

15
Just placed my order.

Went for a 58 size frame, stem 110, omm offset. 440 handlebar. Asked for 40mm of spacers wich wasn't a problem.
Full orange, glossy spray with lightcarbon logo in white.

For reference: im 190cm, inseam of 90,5cm, maybe this will help anyone.

Can't wait for it to arrive. First time building up a bike, but i've got the whole winter to complete the build.
