Lightcarbon lcr015 sd build thread I convinced my brother to give chinese carbon a try given he only has a fuji cyclocross bike.

Will update this thread as needed.

Everything was roughly $1300-$1400, dt350, pillar spokes, 50mm deep. 54cm frame.
Frame looked great. Fork looks good as well, though the fork is flexible on the lower parts, more than id normally expect from a carbon fork, but i trust thats the way its meant to be.
He will be running rival axs.

Update: wheels came with 3-4 cracks in the carbon where the nipple meets. Most likely due to overtightening. Shipping also damaged the hub. Purely cosmetic, small ding on the nds, COMPLETEY cosmetic.

Update: first they asked to get it fixed at a lbs and ship us a new set of rims, but it costed them too much they said.
So they let us ship it back to them, theyll cover shipping both ways And replace the hub. So far pretty stand up guys, no issues so far! Pretty happy with this because i was hoping for a painless experience building up this bike for my brother, but the guys at lightcarbon so far have made this issue very tolerable.

Re: Lightcarbon lcr015 sd build thread Frame and wheels are great. Fully built, will weigh when the rotors and tires get sat, tubeless.

No issues, cabling was easy.

Only two issues and my dengfu r12 has the same issue, dropouts arent wide enough alone to support 12 speed so i have a spacer between the axle screw in and the cassette. The frame might get scratched if i leave it like that, so spacer cant hurt. One of the caliper mount screws also seems to be giving resistance, signifying facing maybe needing to be required, but i havent centered the rotors yet since the lockrings are still in the mail.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame has anyone bought a frame that included decals? how did the paint job/decal quality end up being and how much it ended up costing? My dengfu was painted but the paint isnt of good quality as its pretty easy to chip away at the paint, as i have a handful of chips in the paint.

Re: Allex sprint copy? 1800 yuan is $270, which is insanely freaking cheap, whether or not this makes you second guess safety is subject to your opinion, if you pull the trigger, update, im curious how this'll end out!

Hongfu FM339 new http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/products/9.html

almost looks like a merida reacto, one difference i can see is that the seatpost/seattube connecting area isnt as fat in the fm339 but has that recessed headset.

Re: Velobuild 177: Gap between fork and headtube? While the bikes may not “need” the crown race, some are integrated in the molding process and i never checked the difference on the r12.

The space left is due to it not being cut, the compression cap where you sandwich the cap into the stem joins everything together. My dengfu fm098 had a similar gap issue when it was cut and its because i needed a microspacer on the top.

Re: Hongfu FM339 new 300 for shipping is eye gouging

Yishun R068D Looking for the next bike build, and this crossed my eye, fits my geometry in a 58. Anyone know what this is meant to be a replica/pay homage to? It looks a hell of a lot like a venge but the geometry doesnt quite equal it.

Re: Miraclecycling vs Yoeleo prices

I would like to refresh this entry, is it really true that Miracle-Cycling produces the frames for Yoeleo and that Yoeleo only paints and sells them?

Has anyone already ordered from Miracle-Cycling and how was the experience with the frameset?

Miraclecycling could be a dealer just like yoeleo, but the main point of my post was to acknowledge that yoeleos frames arent proprietary, they just rebrand them.
