Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build I am waiting for my LCFS958 frame and carbon wheels to start my first build of a FS MTB. I already have a great bike, a Merida One Twenty 800 so I am doing this because I got inspired by this forum.

At first I thought that this would be a "cheap" way to build a nice bike. But now that I am calculating and ordering components I realize that I could have bought a great bike for the same money.

Of course I can build the LCFS958 on a budget, with cheap suspension components, cheap gears, cheap brakes, but then I will not know how good the frame is.

Now I have decided to built it with components of the same level as my Merida One-Twenty 800.

https://www.merida-bikes.com/sv-se/bike/14/one-twenty-800

Then it will be the frame that is the difference in the bikes. I hope and wish, that my LCFS958 is going to be better since it will cost more than my Merida.


I will post images during the process.

I think they sent the frame 10-12 days after my order. a few days later it arrived in Sweden but then the swedish Postal service took 2.5 weeks to handle it and deliver it.

On the price I also paid VAT and toll costs.

Re: LCFS911 full suspension There are a lot of parts needed to build a bike.







And I thought I had all I needed. Started building the bike yesterday and one thing I am  missing, that's very important, is a correct bushing kit for the rear shocker mount. There was a Kit supplied with the frame but that did not work with my Rock Shox Monarch R. So I put it together with spacers, but It cant be riden like this.

I did struggle a bit with getting the housing for the rear derailleur  and rear brake in place. But I managed to get all in place. Today I will shorten the brake housings and bleed the brakes.

I am happy with the frame. It fells well thought through and well built. But it is small. I ordered a size Small for my wife without really reading the figures, but measuring it now I would rather say its size XS. Even if a replace the tires with 27.5+ or shock and tires with 29", the reach and top tube length is short. Its supposed to be a surprise on her birthday in three weeks so im in a but of a difficult situation in this issue.

Re: LCFS 958 build help The frame in size L is 2.8 kg.

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.

Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build 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 :D
