Title: LightCarbon seatpost wedge. Solved, some build Pics
Post by: w2ge on February 01, 2024, 05:03:56 PM

My mechanic is building up my LCG071D LightCarbon gravel bike and having issues trying to figure out seatpost wedge.   Any tips, instructions please? 

TIA, Phil

NVM.  He figured it out.  I understand its a bit fidgety.

Some pics of where it’s currently at.   Going with 1x, SRAM GX EAGLE AXS derailleur, Alugear 44t oval purple chainring.  Cassette is 10-50.  Sram Force brakes, shifters.

Not sure if this is allowed mods but I feel I need to give my guy credit.  Bikebuildz on instagram

I have the same frame on order. Just patiently waiting for it to arrive to build it up as LightCarbon already sent the wheels and I have the rest of the parts sitting on the shelf. Any tips from your mechanic on the seat post wedge? Y

Don’t know if his text reply to me asking about will really help, but here’s his response:

“Its similar to sl5 tarmac I had..I guess trick is just having at an angle that it doesn't fall down the tube”


And congrats on your new bike, LC did same w me, wheels came first and about two weeks later I received the frame.
