Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / 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

Thanks. Unfortunately it's quite hard for me to assess since my other bikes are completely different ahah. Will try to get access to a canyon ultimate L size. Apparently they have very similar geometries.

I'm pretty comfy on the endurace for example L size, which is basically the same of all endurace. I know this one is more agressive, but just wonder really the difference on those 2 things. 110 stem and the seatpost setback. Bike size is definitely the 58.

I can imagine though thst with 0 setback I can still play with the seat sth like 15mm back. Will see but place the order in any case.
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

Hey guys, probably a stupid question but what is this please?


To hold the seatpost. Place this piece inside the frame. The nut is visible on the outside

Not sure what you're reading, but those are not SAVADECK-BIKE.COM prices. The most expensive SAVA bike is the Falcon 9.0 Di2 with Dura ace at $5999USD.

They have a lot of humor: 11566.89 euros (why not three numbres after the decimal point as for the petrol) for the Ultegra Di2. Even on sale at 5783.45 euros, several options from renowned brands are available to us

I've had this kind of problem before and I had put nail polish (resin) to put a kind of protective film to avoid delamination.  I rode a few weeks with this with no problem. But as I had a bit of margin, I preferred to cut a little fork in order to ride with more peace of mind

Thank you Serge (are you French?). I was expecting your response. I will be building the LCR 017 soon. As mentioned, until now I always put a 5mm spacer above the stem in order to have that 3mm of space for compression. With one-piece handlebars and integrated cables, it's obviously more aesthetic when nothing protrudes but with this system, the top of the fork is at the same level as the upper screw of the handlebars in order to leave room for compression. The expander playing its role of counter force in a way.

E-Bike Frames & Builds / Cut the fork
« on: March 15, 2024, 03:58:39 AM »
Small technical question regarding the cutting of the fork. Until now, I cut my fork at the level of the stem then with the expander I was 2mm above the stem and then I placed a 5mm spacer to compress the headset (classic process). I'm going to build a bike with integrated wiring and the cap is flush with the handlebars and I was wondering how high the expander should be from the top? Still 3mm for good compression? With this system (more aesthetic), isn't the top of the fork buried in the stem subject to too much pressure?
I sometimes see people cutting their fork flush with the handlebars, then placing the cover but I tell myself that there must not be enough compression. Clarification would be appreciated

The Superlight Version

This frame is designed to accommodate 32 tires. Can you confirm? THANKS

the last spacer covers the pass-thru washer and if the recessed portion isn't deep enough it will affect the gap even after it's assembled correctly

If you have a reliable measuring device, perhaps you could ask WhityBlanc for the height of the cover, as well as the part that separates the cables?

Okay okay... A little spoiler.

But more really only after assembly.
Bottom bracket and wheels are still on the way  :D

Have you also had this gap reported by some in the head tube (upper bearing and headset)? Thank you for your contribution. ;)

I understand his position. He's not going to saw off the branch he's sitting on.

Wonder if he'd be willing to share which spacer kit he's using?
I asked him the question on his FB: no answer. I sent him a message on his website. His laconic response is: you bought it in China, contact their sales department. On his FB page, no possibility of comments under the photos. The guy is an importer in Europe.

100%, at this point the bike is going to just sit there until I can find a shim and get the motivation to spend a few hours undoing and redoing everything

I have an Elves Vanyar which has a low head tube (120 mm). I am 178 cm tall. Rather than adding spacers under the handlebars, I opted for very few spacers with a 0° stem (Easton) and not -6 or -10 as is often the case.
