Re: LCFS911 full suspension
I have Shimano m7100 cranks with 34t chainring. I know, that boost cranks have different chainline than this. But I dont know, if there is other differnece between this cranks than chainlain. For example distance between cranks or axle width. Shimano non-boost M7100 has a 52mm chainline which is basically the same as a SRAM boost chainline so should work just fine. The axle width and q-factor of M7100 non-boost and boost cranks is the same. the only difference is shimano M7100 boost cranks have a 55mm chainline. March 22, 2021, 03:39:03 PM |

Re: LCFS911 full suspension
can somebody tell me what is the actual weight for size M (without seat binder, axle and rear shock plastic dummy?) mine in size M is 1902g without the derailleur hanger or the rear through axle. basically right on what LC quote on their web page. April 27, 2021, 09:04:37 AM |

Re: LCFS911 full suspension
A bit blasphemous to put the logo on but i pondered it and ultimately decided i don't care! lol the bike is fantastic. front fork is a fox 32 stepcast performance elite. rear shock is a fox re:aktiv from a trek top fuel. both were new take off parts. i think my only gripe with the bike is the cable routing for the rear shock lockout - i ended up using a flexible noodle like you use for cantilever brakes to mitigate the ridiculously tight angle from the access hole to the inlet of the shock. still not entirely happy with that solution but it works perfectly (for now...) the wheels are LC carbon rims with graphene built on dt swiss 350 hubs. LC's one piece bar/stem combo and a sram eagle GX build kit with an XX1 chain. final weight as shown is 23 lbs on the nose. definitely some room for weight saving in there with tire and crank choice but i'm content at that weight.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
just curious, is anyone running this as a gravel bike? The 1056 appeals to me as a frame that could double up as a road or gravel bike (perhaps with 2 sets of wheels), and I was wondering if I'm correct in this assessment. like everything else with gravel it really depends on what gravel regularly is where you ride and what is your road / gravel mix? if you ride mostly hard pack, bit of washboard, some ruts etc. (basically the strada bianchi) you will be just fine. i can happily ride this even on a madone with 28's. i don't necessarily recommend (on a madone!) it but it's doable. 32c or better yet maxing out to 35c would be ideal if riding the 1056. single track, roots, mud, lots of loose rock etc. is a whole other story.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
i think the best course of action is to look into the custom 3D printed headset covers that some of the folks with new allez sprint frames have been using? it appears to be a simple 1.5" opening on the head tube since others have used the FSA kit in the thread. see below for a weight weenies posting on it. https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=133529&start=2040 July 20, 2022, 12:39:02 PM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
I seem to be getting nowhere with Chris. Did anyone have their forks being bent 2cm inwards? I don't think this carbon fork is to be trusted anymore, right? The TA is a standard 130mm TA, and it's fully threaded in on one side. So the fork is just too narrow. did you measure the inside face to face of the fork? it seems more like the through axle is mismarked for OLD of 130 rather than overall length of 130mm?
