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

my Yishun R1058D arrived finally
That looks great! Mine will come sometime in January  ::)
Is the seatpost meant for round or oval saddle rails - or works for both? Just realised that I did not ask about it  :o
Would you mind sharing a close-up?

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Here is my work-in-progress. Frame, handlebar and wheels are from LC.
For the decal, I simply provided the font and there is a little graphic on the headtube where I used simple online tools to reduce a picture to black and white and then made the background transparent.

I am very happy with the build quality so far.
And the communication with LC during the whole process was really, really great!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) @joegal got me!
I am not a very creative person but I thought it is standard to have a logo on the down tube and since I couldn't think of a fancy name myself, I ended up with the word itself - and since I like the looks of Standert and Helvetica is a classic font, I snickered a little bit and used it.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I can confirm the weights. I also have a 54 cm super light and (again) kitchen scale says:
Frame incl. rear hanger: 926.5 g
Fork (uncut): 406.9 g
Handlebar: 329.4 g
Seatpost: 164.9 g

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) This is my first "build from scratch" bike and my first bike with fully internal cable routing. I have two questions, hope you can help:
After installing everything up to routing cables through the handlebars, I noticed a gap between the frame and the cover under the stem. I believe it derives from the ring guiding the cables / hoses (see picture). Is this normal? Did I do something wrong? Should I do something about it? Anyone else with the frame having a similar experience?

And: do you recommend greasing the hoses at least a little bit? I haven't found anything about it but it seems useful to me as it makes the movement when turning the handlebars "softer".
Or is there something - like chemistry - speaking against it?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Thank you, dinorello.
What video is that? Do you have a link for me?

I am not 100% sure about the headset, might need to chat with Wendy once more ;) It's pretty tight with SRAM hoses so I was considering using a bit of grease to make sure things are moving when putting everything together.

Thanks for the advice re foam tubing. Actually used exactly the product you are recommending  :D

That last spacer should not make contact with the frame at all. The compression happens with the metal pass-thru washer that's resting against the top bearing at the head tube.  Either that pass thru washer should be thinner by .5mm or that final plastic spacer should have a deeper well to cover more of the pass thru washer as per the last pic

That is what I am expecting, too. As said, I am new to internal cable routing and I might have made a mistake but this looks strange. Had already funny pictures in my head what I could have done wrong with the washer or the bearing  ::)
Ideally, I will disassemble the headset today and double-check.

@Sakizashi: The "grinding paste" is a fair point. Especially if the gap remains as seen on the pictures, regular checking of the headset unit will be necessary. I would not have used grease on lower parts of the bike anyway. Stem and handlebars were my main thought.
