Did you get the frame? Looking for some info

This is my rear derailleur, I'm wondering if my UDH from LightCarbon is correctly installed ?

That could actually be the problem: My original hanger was bent. Had some troubles while shifting (but only in the largest and the smallest ring). Replaced it and never had issues again. Forgot to mention that before, I had the problem in January...

Did you use spacers for the BB area please?

What's your cassette / chainring size please ? (Mine is 11-34 cassette and 50-34 chainrings, 2x12v, ultegra r8100)

Didnt use any spacers. Running a 11-34/52-36. Could there be a spacer missing in the cassette?

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

Running the exact same setup without any problems...

Just pulled the trigger on a GasCycle Nitrogen alloy frame (size S). It's still being built — the seller says it'll ship around the end of the month, so I've got a bit of a wait before the fun starts.

The idea: my actual dream bike is the Cannondale CAAD14, but on a student budget that's not happening, so this is my crit-focused take on it — with a bit of a wink toward the Standert Kreissäge RS as well. I'm coming off a LightCarbon LCR018-D endurance bike, so this is a deliberate move to a lower, racier position.

Use case: flat-ish criterium racing. Aggressive position, running 1x to keep things clean.

Planned build:
- Frame: GasCycle Nitrogen, alloy, size S
- Groupset: SRAM XPLR 1x13 AXS (Rival/Force mix)
- Crank: TBD (likely a powerless SRAM AXS crank + power pedals)
- Chainring: AluGear Aero "Golf Ball" 54T, black
- Chain: SRAM 12s flattop
- Cassette: 10–46
- BB: ZTTO BSA-DUB (open to better suggestions)
- Cockpit: Zipp Service Course SL-80 + Kalloy Uno stem (trying out different lengths and angles)
- Wheels: LightCarbon C67DB carbon
- Tyres: Continental GP5000 (28–32c, still deciding)

Planning a little custom "knock-off lucky cat" head tube sticker too:



Will post build pics once the frame lands. Cheers!
