Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Nice build, thanks for posting! The front and rear caliper mounts could've been faced to help with alignment. The rear cutout for the derailleur hanger was a bit wonky and needed a little persuading to help it align to prevent it from binding up the axle when the set screw was tightened. I choose black to specifically camouflage the overly boxy down tube. Other than that the bikes been a dream to ride the first 400 miles thus far. April 08, 2024, 08:23:39 AM |

It's great to see that support was nice at least I couldn't decide either so I got a 55 in the rear and a 45 in the front! April 08, 2024, 09:22:48 AM |

Thanks for the responses. No definitely not. LC needs to send out a new frame asap or refund you and then explain how they could allow an obviously defective product to be shipped out. That crack could lead to catastrophic failure injuring the rider. April 18, 2024, 05:38:06 PM |

From the video and pictures, it looks more like the outer black paint has come loose during packaging or shipping. If the aluminum inserts are installed after the frame is painted that process is most likely the culprit as that area seems to be the thinnest. April 22, 2024, 07:31:02 AM |

Clear coating over the color usually helps with durability which I wrongly assumed was included with the cost of painting

All modern paint jobs should be clear coated instead of just buffing the paint to a high gloss finish. Wendy posted this lc17 on facebook with clear coat over just the raw carbon frame.https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1106790517314036&set=a.714845989841826 April 24, 2024, 09:52:54 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Are you sure your frame isnt clear coated? From the video and photos it looks proper glossy (like a clear coated frame). But than again, this could be due to the sunlight. Definitely not clear coated....only buffed to the point where it's been rubbed through to the white base coat in areas . You figure the amount of time that they could have saved buffing it out by clear coating it instead would have been more cost effective in the end April 24, 2024, 06:23:08 PM |

I'm sure you can handle painting the frame with some online tutorials. I would suggest using a two part epoxy clear coat available in a rattle can online . https://www.amazon.com/SprayMax-Glamour-Gloss-Aerosol-Clear/dp/B0082LJMC6/ref=asc_df_B0082LJMC6/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312089957955&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18355015209638236415&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1022698&hvtargid=pla-491695780726&psc=1&mcid=4dd3d2ef1707324ca3957547519fd71e&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_qexBhCoARIsAFgBleu9Nt7ruWUvvu68PeiGlIwgv01XkPsH1WhYT3W2Ep5zkdkQrZu7K5EaAsRVEALw_wcB April 25, 2024, 03:43:33 PM |

I received frame yesterday, and am happy to report that some of the issues posted here the past few weeks were not a problem for me.. Good to hear LC is learning from their customer based QC Dept. I believe that chameleon paint is a base coat system with a clear that allows the chameleon effect to happen. April 26, 2024, 08:43:55 AM |
