Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build

[emu26]

Got a link to that lightcarbon frame?  It is showing up on their website using their search feature

 Only thing i can think is maybe the hose size? Not going thru the internal routing holes?

 I don't know my 958 has Trickstuff hydros and no problems.

I'm considering this frame for a build. It seems like a DT swiss rear shock with a remote could be a good option: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/products/suspension/shocks
 Although I only found one place that seemed willing to ship to the US.
This suntour shock appears to be a trunion that can be used with a remote but the website isn't very clear.https://www.srsuntour.us/collections/rear-shock/products/unair-rear-shock?variant=28395765956702
 I'd have to inquire further. Good price though.

Thanks for the responses on this topic. Here is a link to the LightCarbon frame: https://www.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-700c-aero-disc-brake-road-frameset_p35.html

Here is a link to what appears to be the same frame from Dengfu: http://m.dengfubikes.com/index.php?s=/203.html

Dengfu confirmed that hydraulic brakes work on their frame. 

I thought the same thing about the cable routing on the LightCarbon frame and confirmed with them that it is both the cable and housing that runs through the frame; even included an annotated picture to bridge the language gap.

I mean they even state that the frame is Di2 compatible.  Are there even Di2 groupsets with mechanical disc brakes?

[emu26]

OK, Maternicus that is a road bike frame and you have asked about it in the mountain bike forum.  I suggest you ask here, http://chinertown.com/index.php/board,19.0.html  as I am not sure how many go between both forums.

I suspect, as mentioned by ReverendRockRacer it will have something to do with the hose not fitting through the frame.

[Maternicus]

Good Point emu26, will do.

I have tideace frame , FM-R185  bought on ebay,  they were very easy to deal with ,  i got XL frame , 59 cm, fits perfect, came with bb and headset both fit well. I had it partially painted with decals to match and all shipped to USA for $500.00 which was $425.00 for the bike and $75.00 for painting and decals,  all in matte.  And no tariff in USA.  Took about 30 days from order date to receive. 
I have trp hy/rd flat mount brakes on it, 160 mm in front and 140 mm in back.  That's cable actuated hydraulic brake, love the brakes.  Set up  1X11 ,  50 11/28 right now.
It also has toseek carbon stem, carbon bar 440mm and Light Bicycle 56 mm wheels with schwalbe pro one tires running tubeless.

Great looking bike mtbluvr68!  I was thinking a very similar paint scheme with white frame and black inside the fork and rear.  My thought was to have them paint the whole bike white and then I can add the black using plastidip, which would also act to protect the paint in those high risk areas.  Not really opposed to mech disc brakes especially since it would allow me to fit a higher level groupset within my budget (of course the brakes would be off brand from the groupset).  Does your bike support hydraulic brakes?

[mtbluvr68]

TRP HY/RD brakes are cable actuated Hydraulic brakes.  The hydraulic reservoir is at the brake caliper rather than in the hose.  They actually modulate better than my full hydro brakes.  Tideace said would work with hydraulic cables but i haven't tested yet. 

[Maternicus]

I was completely unaware of this tech.  Now I have a whole new rabbit hole to jump down.

... my 958 has Trickstuff hydros and no problems.

Wow... they seem so hard to get.
Are you happy with them ?

[ReverendRockRazor]

 I bought mine from bike24 so no real wait for me. Check the german online retailers they have them in stock from time to time.

 I have the Piccola and i love them. They are a great trail brake with all the power you will ever need. Great modulation they feel really solid thanks to the 4 cartridge bearings in each lever.

 They also do not require olive and barb. The attachment threads into the actual hose. I love this part of them.

 And they happen to be the lightest hydro in the world. But don't feel like it they just feel like a great brake.

 One of the problems with owning Trickstuff is you are out of the brake conversation.

 Anytime a new brake comes out you might start to read about it and get excited. But then you look at your bike and go "I'm good" like forever.

It's just a bit sad that you need a second mortgage to buy them!
