I've never had a UD derailleur hanger before. I don't know what they look like. There's nothing about them on their website. So, no?

It looks like a UDH mount and completely different to the rear stay of mine, so they must have updated the frame.

Here's my build

Have they changed to UDH?

Is running a foam liner on the outside of the brake hose more of a nice to have than a need to have thing? I have little experience with hydraulic brakes and full internal routing. Just routed a bike, but haven't connected the hoses yet, so I can still manage to put some insulation on them (I think).

Also, I see kits for this on AliX, ZTTO and other brands. Is this an item I can source from elsewhere also (i.e. hardware store or similar) so I don't have to wait for another package from the far east?

Appologies for unrailing the topic.

Jagwire makes some that's quite cheap, so I would just get that.

Coming back on the BB. Can someone explain why t47a is needed? I bought a std T47 DUB. It's the first time I see someone mention assymetric is needed. Also no mention from tantan (not surprised by that though). I am assuming this is a clearance issue, but where?

Depends on the shell width? If you're going to mount a T47i BB on a 77mm wide (meant for T47a bb's) then the external width with the BB mounted will be incorrect. It's going to shift the driveside outboard by about 9mm if I'm not mistaken.

Increasing stack height through other handlebars could be interesting

3,26 mm

Tanks

I would cut it 5mm short to ensure proper headset compression. But probably ask Peter to be sure, if the frame didn't come with any specifications?

Should I cut it at the level of the handlebar stem or a few millimeters lower (3 mm)?

How thick is the lip of the expander plug?

Just sharing my experience with the bike. I initiated my conversation with Wendy on WhatsApp on the 18th of March. Was unsure of which chameleon paint to pick. She sent a lot of different photos of paints. Went with the LCB-02HS - same as another kind poster on here. Thanks for helping me decide!

Finalized & paid on the 19th of March. Received the frame on the 7th of May. Well packaged and nothing to fault.

I've done 2000 km on it now and done a 200k ride once. It rides really well.

However, I did manage to somehow break the seatpost clamp mechanism. The "plate" that holds it against the frame dislodged after disassembly. I'm unsure if it was due to user error or not.
I asked to buy 2 new ones on a Thursday & for it to be shipped through express shipping. They covered half the shipping & I had it in hand the following Monday.
I notice that the torque spec is lower on their website in comparison to the sheet of paper with torque specs that was included with the frame.

Regardless of this minor hiccup, I'm really happy with both the frame as well as the bike as a whole. It's built up with Ultegra Di2 & the Magene PES P505 power meter. It's a joy to ride. Would buy again ;D

They are not cross compatible, magene doesn't charge wheeltop and neither does it work the other way around. Magnet polarity is different, it doesn't go in

I've charged my PES P505 with the Wheeltop charging cable. It's at a bit of an awkward angle (read: the angled cable-end is facing towards the crank arm) and will disconnect quite easily but it charges just fine. Are referring to charging Wheeltop with the Magene cable?

It's pretty suspect that their 19 reviews all appear to be fake. A bunch of them even seem to feature pictures from the same bike :o

All reviews were added on between 25th and 29th of September. I received the marketing email with the announcement of the groupset on the 8th of October and there has been no reviews on their website since.
