Light Carbon LCFS917 XC Frame

[Zipper85]

I was looking for a frame with new downcountry geometry to do xc and marathons.  i had seen this 917 but it is not very famous like the riot, 936 or 909. how did you feel with this frame?

A great frame if Light Carbon are willing to sell it.

Howdy!

I am new to this forum.  I have built 2 carbon hardtails for my kids and have laced carbon rims to my store bought gravel bike. 

I placed an order for the LCFS917 this week.  They are already mocking up my decals so I hope the frame gets shipped this week.  They either had some extras on the shelf or they are selling some b grades.  I certainly hope the former.

It looks great!  What software template are you using to work on paint/decals?  Would love to use the same one.  Thanks and good luck!

Does anyone know what the spec for the top shock bolt is? I need to find a replacement.

So i have the 919 frame on the way and bought a 165x45mm trunnion shock for it, and looking for the bushings for it.  I can't seem to find M10*54mm on Aliexpress.  Is it an uncommon standard?

The M10x54 is not a bushing. That is the width and thread on the top of your shock. A grunion mount only has the lower bushing and the top threads into the shock body directly.  The frame should come with the two m10 bolts and the bearing will be in the frame.  Just put your shock in and bolt it up.  This has one hole visible and then another on the other side.  Notice there is no bushing eyelet on the top of the shock. https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.dY1lJcDRK4CSVubdjO33UQHaFj?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain

If you need a bushing for the bottom I highly recommend Offset bushings.  They are based in the Uk but ship all over and make great stuff. They even make custom lengths and what not.  If you need it.

Thanks for confirming.  This is my first MTB build!
