Viva La 11.11 Aliexpress sales

Nice build!!!

I didn’t knew about Mondince. I had in mind to order the frame from TANTAN but it seems you got a better deal.

I've tried to find their AliExpress store but I haven't been lucky and in their webpage it shows that the minimum order is 10 (they have another light frame below 1kg that has minimum order 50)
Are they open to just 1qty order?


Thank you!

If you're not in a hurry, I think you should wait until early March, when more UDH frames from other suppliers will appear. But with some suppliers you can wait delivery yours frame until the summer if you place an order in March.

I'll go this way. Probably I'll start to prepare groupset, wheels... and go for the frame when the new models appear

It seems anyway that UDH hangers are going to be common in gravel frames (I have more doubts about this in road frames).

WOW

Both of them are quite interesting but I think I will try to avoid any kind of "suspension" system.

It seems the number of UDH framesets is growing.

Hello.  Have you read this article?  It discussed UDH SRAM chainline.

https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/how-to-find-the-correct-chainring-for-your-mountain-bike-with-sram-transmission

Nope but I find it quite useful. Thanks mate.

However, I still need to find a UDH gravel frameset. And I have no idea if there are any available. I see that in some you can choose the BB but never seen UDH finish.

Hello,

I have checked and contacted some seller such as Velobuild but I haven't been able to find if there is any model of gravel frame with UDH hanger.

My idea is to build a bike with a mullet (GX T-Type + Force 1x crankset).

Given that there are several differences when it comes to tyre clearance, I guess that to work with UDH - T-Type, that have not much to adapt in the micro-adjust (just +-2 I think)... Will it be a nightmare to set the bike up properly to have the correct chainline?

Maybe is better to stick to regular hangers and use non-t-type mullet setups?

Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my English  :'(

Hello,

I just got my VB-R-168 frame and everything goes perfect except the seatpost.

It slides all the time.

We put 7nm but I have no idea what is the torque I should use. Tomorrow I will put some carbon paste and go a bit lower in the torque, or I will use some alloy layer from a beer can.

Do you know exactly what torque is specified for this frame?
Has anybody had the need to replace the seatpost because it didn't work well?

Thank you in advance por your help.
