Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Ironically saw the new thread about bolt length for the LCR015-D with SRAM calipers, and need the same for the LCR017-D.  Anyone know if this also takes 27mm bolts?  Sorry for my ignorance, but are the front fork bolts all standard for SRAM?  Got Force OEM brifter/calipers, so no bolts/washers.  Hopefully someone can kindly tell me what to order!  ;D

Thanks in advance!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I almost forgot that I wanted to ask a similar question about the length of bolts for the brake calipers.

I'm going to build the LCR017-D Frame with Shimano Ultegra 2x11 (R8000). Can anyone tell me if I need longer (or shorter) bolts for mounting the brake caliper on that frame?
Especially on the rear there are often longer bolts needed, as far as I know.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Ok. I've decided to give this frame a trial.

Will be using an old 105 7020 I got laying around. How is this bike fit? Does it fit on the bigger size or lower?

I'm 1.89 so I am going for the 58 for sure, just not sure about stem 100 or 110 and seatpost setback 0 or 20.

I'm not going to do any racing so I'd rather go more to a neutral approach. My usual rides are on endurance bikes like the carbonda 1056.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) If you dont know the site, play around with https://geometrygeeks.bike/. Will let you compare bikes' geometries, it's extremely helpful.
Height alone means very little. I'm 184 and i now ride medium frames because i have long legs (saddle height of c.81cm). I also have fairly long arms, so i can fit myself on large frames, but i have a short torso, so i'm actually more comfortable to push watts on a medium than a large, with fairly high stack because my saddle to bar drop is pretty extreme. If in doubt, always, always go smaller rather than larger. I just sold a giant propel in L that was always a tad too big for me. Tragic, because that bike was amazing. Had i bought a M/L i probably would not have upgraded.
If you ride on the flat a lot and are comfortable in aero positions, probably best to take a 0 offset post, will get you more vertical on the BB, a la TT bike.

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


Thanks! I've made some quick calculations on https://www.bikegeocalc.com and I'm going for 0 setback and 100mm stem. It'll still be more aggressive than the bikes I have but should be fine ahaha. Let's hope. Fingers crossed.

Let's see now how long it will take to deliver

Nice!

Is it size 56?

I ordered the frame already too in size 58 (0mm setback and 100mm stem).
Saw some posts of people complaining about the fact that the frame has no "hole" To release water either in the frame or in the fork, yet still decided to test it.

My frame has a 1/8-in hole beneath the bottom bracket for I guess water egress

Same here, a hole underneath the BB, for the fork, have not seen any.

Thanks to both.
Maybe it was the first frame builds. As regards the fork dunno. Some user a while back complained about a big gap between the frame and the spacers. I guess water can go in. Anyway I don't ride in the rain ahaha. It's more concerning when cleaning/washing it

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
