Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Here, teaser pic... Cool. Super nice. Thought about that colour too. Did you have to pay for the logo or as it was theirs they didn't charge you? April 27, 2024, 10:21:37 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Ok. I've decided to give this frame a trial. Will be using an old 105 7020 I got laying around. How is this bike fit? Does it fit on the bigger size or lower? I'm 1.89 so I am going for the 58 for sure, just not sure about stem 100 or 110 and seatpost setback 0 or 20. I'm not going to do any racing so I'd rather go more to a neutral approach. My usual rides are on endurance bikes like the carbonda 1056. May 01, 2024, 07:14:27 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Why not buy both models (0 and 20). A seatpost costs around 50-60USD; On short saddles (approx. 245 cm), you have fewer adjustment possibilities compared to a 275 cm saddle Thanks! I've made some quick calculations on https://www.bikegeocalc.com and I'm going for 0 setback and 100mm stem. It'll still be more aggressive than the bikes I have but should be fine ahaha. Let's hope. Fingers crossed. Let's see now how long it will take to deliver May 01, 2024, 05:24:46 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
So, my build is done. Nice! Is it size 56? I ordered the frame already too in size 58 (0mm setback and 100mm stem). Saw some posts of people complaining about the fact that the frame has no "hole" To release water either in the frame or in the fork, yet still decided to test it. May 07, 2024, 10:44:51 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Same here, a hole underneath the BB, for the fork, have not seen any. Thanks to both. Maybe it was the first frame builds. As regards the fork dunno. Some user a while back complained about a big gap between the frame and the spacers. I guess water can go in. Anyway I don't ride in the rain ahaha. It's more concerning when cleaning/washing it May 07, 2024, 12:23:46 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
When you compress this headset, the space no longer exists. I saw these comments and so I bought another set of spacer on Ali. By simply putting it down, there was no gap. Also, when I compressed the headset, the handlebars wouldn't turn anymore because they were too tight. So I came back with the initial headset which is well tuned. I'll be posting pictures soon. I'm currently testing the bike Great to hear thst and looking forward to see your pics May 08, 2024, 01:42:58 AM |

Re: Yuanan Carbon fiber wheelsets Year end discount promotion
Hello dear friends, have a nice day! As the carbon wheelsets market continues to evolve, our factory is ready to start building a new batch of carbon wheelset molds. What is your Dream carbon wheelset? Please give your suggestions generously, including carbon wheelset type, inner and outer width, weight requirements, spokes and hubs, etc. Effective and practical suggestions will be adopted and surprise gifts will be given to you! Please actively participate! Thank you very much for your suggestions! First of all props to you Leon for doing a market benchmark. Means you are smart and also doing it by feeling through what people say is what people do. My 2 cents are the following. 1 improve your website, 2 have some fully prebuilt options rather than leaving everything for the end user (most won't understand much than a) how they look, b) how much they weight c) how much they cost d) how deep they are Yes, you'll always have people who want fully custom bla bla bla. That's about creating and developing a super nice wheel online configurator. Much better that lightbycicle. Text me if you need help on this. Anyway market seems to follow the trend: 1- Wavy and non wavy wheels 2- Light. Weight matters 3- Different carbon layups 4- Medium low noise hubs 5- Larger outter width. Minimum most people use nowadays is 28, and most are shifting to 30 and 32 - the larger the frame allows. Internal width minimum 21. 6- Rim brakes u probably know best the market but not sure it's worth any development in that direction. 7- Stiffness/spokes confort vs Stiffness vs maintenance 8- Dropshipping/warehouse inside the EU for faster delivery and receiving. 9- wheels for ebikes with some bits and bytes This is a mix between business advice and wheel but I think u get the point. This industry is not so focused on this. Opportunity is not in the wheels itself;) May 08, 2024, 09:16:57 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
N.b: pay attention to the size of the handlebars when you order, the length is calculated on the bottom and with an angle of -10°, a length of 100 below measures about 110 on top Nice catch! Didn't notice that. I wonder how other brands do it. Still wondering though if I should go 110 instead of the 100mm Your build looks neat. I ordered 2x GP5000 in 32. Wanna ride comfy ahaha May 12, 2024, 03:54:40 PM |
