Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

I am disappointed that we can't order the 1088 (https://www.yishunbike.com/product/r1088-daero-road/), but some of you might be interested :-)
Bike and geometry are not on their website yet, are they?

Component Deals & Selection / Re: ZTTO MTB M1 Boost hubs 28H 54T Ratchet
« on: January 01, 2023, 01:35:06 PM »Hubs, rear hubs in particular (especially on fat bikes!), are one area I’ve consistently regretted not spending more.
Almost every attempt to save money in this area has resulted in me buying twice (or more) and actually cost me more in the long run.
With a lot of ZTTO stuff it will be reliable long term if you replace the key component they cheaped out on: the bearings in their BBs, the ratchet rings in their hubs. But once you do that, most of the price difference is gone.
I hope that will be the case, the ratchets are not that expensive luckily. (and 18t easily found due to many upgraders). Sucks that my shin is now Al mangled due to the sudden slip and I have to gain some trust in the new setup as soon as I've rebuilt it.

Stripped my ratchets today in a similar way. Going to see if I can find an 18T set somewhere to replace it with.
Won't be buying "cheap" hubs anymore.

Way too wide, they're useful from 40mm onwards. That won't fit.

I use ritchey wcs on my 1056 and 696 from Carbonda.

I have some rub too. From the hydraulic hoses in my case.

« on: March 17, 2022, 09:18:38 AM »@king_solomon: If you can't get the crown race all the way down, just lightly file down the carbon of the fork a bit. It may seem scary, but you don't need much, even just a few light rubs with sandpaper can do the trick.
I didn't need to do this on my 1056, but my 696 had the same "issue".
Identical for my bikes

Must be the angle of the photo. It is the exact same frameset. I've got spare parts from dolan that actually have a stamp with "1056" inside.

« on: September 21, 2021, 03:12:15 AM »I stand corrected with regard to Shimano calipers. Thanks for educating me!
Funny about the colors. I was pointed specifically to RAL colors. The link I posted is where Carbonda sent me.
That's nice, shows they've moved on (or changed painting shop). RAL much easier. I've been quite impressed with the quality, both my gravel bike and racing bike have turned out really nice. Those are chameleon light blue and a chrome-plating effect dark blue so not the easiest.

Oh and completely agree to go for FSA headset if budget allows.

fitting a shimano caliper does require the supplied mount/adapter, that's the reason the caliper comes with one (the so called 'Flat-Mount adapter 140mm/160mm'). You can turn it to fit 140 or 160mm.
When I ordered, pantone colour was the colour system to choose from (explicitly not RAL) or from their own colour palette.
This might have changed to be both but to say 'RAL colors, not Pantone. https://www.ralcolor.com/' is not correct. If they offer RAL now it's easier for sure. Any one of the sales people will be able to tell you what the latest options are.

Hi, yes 160mm fits with adapter.
Advice: read the whole topic and note all the issues, remarks, tips in there. If you build yourself it is useful to have, if you'll ask a shop it might be useful for them.
If you have mechanical brakes the ztto hydro-mech brakes are ok, the juin tech apparently are really good(no experience myself). Do use compressionless housing, and consider external routing because they are hard to route internal.
Some tips:
Decide if you want internal routing or external to figure out which fork.
Do you want it painted? Go check what you like and pantone colours.
Headset is choice between Carbonda or FSA. The latter is slightly nicer, especially the expander works better.
Thru axles from Carbonda are OK (they used to be a bit soft, the newer ones are much better), there are better options on the market at a cost (120usd vs 25 usd for a set of fr+re).
Ask for/order extra spare parts. Specifically seat tube clamp and bottom frame guide for front derailleur cable.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Glasses
« on: September 18, 2021, 03:13:26 AM »I can also approve of the NRC glasses posted by carbonazza. I have the photochromatic version with a few other colours. Like I already said the photochromatic works... Just not very well. Glasses themselves are fantastic and lenses are easy to change. Having rimless glasses is brilliant, I hate wearing anything else now.
Own these too, however be aware that if the post doesn't deliver the seller will just tell you to go figure it out yourself.
