Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build

[StefanB]

Testing the parts together before I start mounting the Magura brakes, SRAM crankset and groupset.

My first ordered dropperpost was to high with 170 mm travel, so I sent it back and I have ordered a new one with 125 mm travel.

I have also ordered a new Stem Ø35mm to fit the carbon handlebar I ordered from Light Carbon. The stem I have is for  Ø31,8mm.

But so far I am very happy with how well build the frame is. The finish is good and everything fits nice in place.

Did you order with the lettering or did you do it yourself ?
Have fun mounting it !

Also interested to know this, I have a 130-160 Pike I'm thinking of using on it.

You might be able to simulate the extra "slackness" of using a 160mm by swapping the rear wheel for a 27.5.

I'm running a Pike at 140 with debonair and I can't say it has hold me back in the technical terrain here in CO. I don't go for the biggest jumps but I do enjoy technical descends. I think someone might have run this frame with 160 over on the MTBR thread

I did the lettering myself. I have a hifi company, Akkelis Audio, and some customers call me Akke, so therefore the name, AKKEBIKE.  The lettering is in graphite, so with little light its almost black, in sun it shines in silver. I like it.

Now its really close. stem and bar in place, Magura MT5 brakes front and rear in place, all wires in place, shifter in place, just the cassette and chain and of course adjustment of everything. Maybe I can do my first ride soon

Greetings from USA, Please let me know what bushing kit needs to be used to fit rear shock.

I tried a 22*8 and it is too small. The spec says this the size.
At another place it says 30*8...is that the correct size?  Does the bushing fit snugly in the eyelet..I have never done this before so excuse my ignorance.

I have DPX float Fox rear 165*42.5.

Thanks

Edit: Sorry wrong frame thread , but my advice on measuring the internal width is still valid.

Been reading this thread in preperation for my frame to arrive, i thin the nominal with is 22,2mm, however i thin there are a few reports that it measures wider than that. There are a span of different widths of the bushing 22, 22.2, 22.8 etc i would suggest you measure the internal width of the mount on your bike and buys one that fills it out or shim it until it fits.

Yes thanks, ordered a Fox 8*30.

Hopefully it fits

where did you read 22*8? the lightcarbon site says 30*8

[rubybear]

I ordered a 22.0x8 mounting hardware and the fit is snug as it should on my RS super deluxe. The frame comes with shims that go on the sides of the mounting hardware. That might be the difference here. No problems on my end. The lightcarbon site is dumb. They specify a 30.0x8 but they link to a 22.0x8 mounting kit.

i just assumed that you were supposed to pick the 30x8mm set from that amazon link. i'll measure my frame when it arrives and report back.

Yes thanks, ordered a Fox 8*30.

This worked! FYI

How did you guys route the hydraulic brake lines through the frame? I just had a hell of a time with the dropper post

[xz01]

NVM, just electric taped the hell out of the plastic guides to the hydraulic line and pushed it through
