Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[edy]

Lo and behold, the frameset finally arrived and is waiting for bike fitting before further installation of the parts missing in the picture. I inspected the frame and noticed no visible damage inside or out. The white decal is slightly raised from the paint, which indicates there is a layer of clear coat and the paint is not brushed to a glossy effect as suspected few pages earlier. The lighting is not the best, but you get the greater picture ... 

FYI: The frame was shipped on 22 November and was delivered by DHL to Slovenia, EU on 10 December.

Hello everyone,

I received my frame and after an exterior/interior inspection, everything seems perfect.
I did a quick assembly to see the result (hand tightening) while waiting for the other parts.
However, I don't see how to screw the upper cover of the handlebar after cutting the fork to the right height and putting the extender in place.
If a charitable soul can guide me?

Before you insert that bolt that holds the cap you're supposed to tighten the bolt that sits flush with the compression plug first. Install the handlebars. Put the cap on. Put the bolt on and tighten to the prerequisite torque afterwards tighten the handlebars to the steerer tube to the  torque setting

Hello Dinorello,

Thanks for your feedback.
I can see the operations to be carried out but my problem comes from the cap bolt.
Can you tell me on which part it will tighten? I don't see any bolt or thread underneath to hold it.

Best regards,

[dinorello]

Remove this bolt.  It doesn't belong in that hole.

[ODDO]

Ok, thanks for the info.
So it's the black bolt on the hood that tightens the assembly?

[dinorello]

When you remove that bolt you'll see that it screws into another bolt that's already in the compression plug.  Tighten that first then put the cap on and it's bolt will screw into the compression plug.  Make sure you follow the correct order and torque settings, your life depends on it.

Everything is clearer now that I have your explanations.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.

The bolt that's supposed to be in the compression plug already has a hole in it that the other bolt screws into.

I'm mostly done with my build now, it went much quicker than I expected. I had to order a replacement front derailleur, for some reason the first one didn't work properly. Even after holding it side-by-side with the new one, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Next steps are to adjust & bleed the brakes, have a quick shakedown drive and put on the handlebar tape. After that give it a good cleaning and add some protection on the chainstays, etc..

Quick summary of the setup:

• Frameset: Lightcarbon LCR017-D, superlight, size 54, HBR 13 integrated bar & stem 420x90, seatpost with 0mm offset
• Wheelset: Lightcarbon C52DB Carbon Gravel Wheelset, 33mm deep rims, with upgraded spokes (Sapim CX-Ray)
• Groupset: Shimano 105 R7100, 12-speed mechanical, disk brakes
• Tires: WTB Expanse 32 (there's enough room to fit 35mm tires or even a bit bigger)
• Saddle: Brooks Cambium C13 Carbon
• Pedals: Shimano PD-ES 600

Weight is around 8.2kg in the current setup (incl. pedals), which is more than good enough for my purposes.

Would anyone who ride the LC frame mind telling me their height and inside leg?

I seem to prefer the stack from the 52 (stack around 525mm) but the reach from the 49 (reach around 380mm).

The HT of the 49 seems.way too short for me perhaps with 172cm 81cm inside leg.

I am 165cm the inside leg is 77cm, my frame is 52 with stem 100mm , less (49) would be short
