Light Carbon LCFS713 build.

[StefanB]

I'm addicted to building bikes. (I love riding them to...) And my first build was the Light Carbon LCFS958. Its a great bike and the quality and fit of the frame is perfect. So I stuck with Light Carbon frames and after that I have built two LCFS911, one LCFS917, one LCFS947 and now I am busy building my first LCFS713.
 I'm building the LCFS713 in size M so its not for me. It fits my wife, or i might sell it. Its just the creative you of building and curiosity of the frame that makes we want to build another LCFS bike.

If you're building it as 27.5+ and running 170mm or longer cranks, be prepared for pedal strike.

I'm building it as a 29:er with 165 mm cranks.

ZTTO ceramic bearing installed, Magura MT5 rear brakes installed and wires for dropper and derailleur installed. Now its the easy parts left to do.

With wheels on its starting to look like a bike. But the installation of the dropper post was a failure, I have to try again another day. The cable routing is so tight so the outerpart gets stuck.

Did you try running it with the BB out? I always run mine before I put the bb in, makes it so much easier having that extra access point.

Thanks for the tip, I will do that. :-)

Everything installed now on the bike. Only adjustments of brakes and gears left. Maybe some more frame protection as well. But I'm really happy with the build so far. There is always small things to struggle with but I'm in no hurry, autumn, rain, mud, is here and this bike will not be ridden before spring.
