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 Great to hear thst and looking forward to see your pics May 08, 2024, 01:42:58 AM |

So, my build is done. Looks very nice  Did you have the chance to ride it. If yes, how does it feel so far? Any problems? Looking forward to get my frame and wheels. May 08, 2024, 06:11:24 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Looks very nice Thank you. The complete process of ordering with specifying paint, parts, and building has been a no issue (and pleasant) adventure so far. Some really minor things are; Tracking of the frame, a notice of a booked parcel and then nothing for 20days, and the last 1-2 days were packed with updates. Not a product quality issue. Next minor notice, and im being quite picky now, is that the rear axle threads in place somewhat with resistance. Hunch is that derallieur hanger and axle thread tolerances are not the same as the carbon parts. To be honest, those are just small farts in a storm as comparison. Did a initial 60min ride and pushed it a bit. Im about 82-84kgs, Pmax of 1300w roughly on a super light frame, size 56 and my reaction is undisputed happiness. Frame feels stiff and as per geometry of frame, right on target. For a safety check of handlebar + stem check, I hanged my whole body wheight on the drops and jumped/rocked up and down. Solid as can be. To summorize so far, _really_ satisfied. May 08, 2024, 01:45:27 PM |

@c74 - this looks like a really nice build. Two questions. How still is the rear triangle / fork combo? Also, did you manage to see what the inside of the frame is like - any sharp edges or excessive creases?

Also, did you manage to see what the inside of the frame is like - any sharp edges or excessive creases? Hi, sorry for late answer. Don't quite understand what the "how still is the...", you mean stiff? Anyways, for a superlight the frame is really stiff. As Im 80kg+ and bend quite a bit and feel no annoying flex to be worried about. For the non Super Light, I'd be worried it might be to stiff and harsh. I combined the frame with 9velo's LV55's which are quite stiff, the combo of frame an wheels, I simply cannot get the discs to rub on the pads whatever I do.  About the inside, I have no small cam, so no, just eye balling down the tubes (also look at my previous pics in this thread) is it clean. Really clean. Frame is supposedly not build with bladders but some other technique, check LC's website for more info there. The exit holes for brake lines, both on frame, fork and handlebar are somewhat sharp, but nothing that a fine sandpaper and just wiping the edge wont fix. Bearing seats around head tube are equal in thickness all around, ie material between bearing seat and paint job on the outside. Seats for wheels in frame is clean of paint overspray and edges are super sharp. Actually impressive at this price point. Regardless of the price for the frame set in comparison to other products out there I think it is a really nice product. May 12, 2024, 07:19:48 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Well here is my construction is finished. Some 400km done. This is a tuning phase. I am 178 cm tall and 68kg; I opted for size 54. I finally changed the seatpost for a 0° because I use a short saddle (Elita one) of 245 cm in length and therefore little travel. I put 30 tires at the rear and 28 at the front. Of the 32 will pass without any problem. The wheels are YAR45-03 from Yuananbike (the equivalent of the Elite Edge) if I'm not mistaken. All-around wheels for the area I live in. My driving impressions are good. In my opinion the seatpost does not sufficiently filter the roughness of the road but the tires compensate (5.5 bar with TPU inner tube at the rear and latex at the front) but I don't like it either when it's too "bulbous". Maybe I'll lower the cockpit. It is currently 1cm higher than my other bikes. No construction problems. In the photos, you will see that there is no gap in the headset, that the downtube is not as excessive as some might think. I posted a picture with a Hammerhead. I have moved it as close to the handlebars as possible and if you want, you can have even more room. Well come on, I'm leaving you, I have to train for the TDF (LOL). N.b: pay attention to the size of the handlebars when you order, the length is calculated on the bottom and with an angle of -10°, a length of 100 below measures about 110 on top

I am 65kg and inflate my 28mm tires to 50 psi in the back and 45 in the front. I ride tubeless though... May 12, 2024, 09:21:42 AM |

Didn't notice that. I wonder how other brands do it. Still wondering though if I should go 110 instead of the 100mm Your build looks neat. I ordered 2x GP5000 in 32. Wanna ride comfy ahaha May 12, 2024, 03:54:40 PM |
