Re: Yuanan Carbon fiber wheelsets double 11 discount promotion Hi everyone,
After much reading here and various YT channels about Elite Wheels, I reached out to Leon, and after going through various options, purchased the 45mm YAR45-01.
This is 18.5/28.0 inner/outer width, Shimano centrelock and RD13 hubs, Pillar Wing20 spokes.
USD430 + USD80 shipping to Australia.

After a few 100 kms, they're perfect for a Giant Defy endurance bike.  They almost make climbing fun, very responsive.

Thank you to Leon for a great wheelset at a great price.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) My frame also arrived last week and I build it up in around two days. I‘m pretty happy with the outcome. Yesterday I had a short shakedown ride and have to adjust the FD and front break. Just some random things I noticed:

  • The frame looks shiny, so I‘m inclined to think it has some form of clear coat on it. But I‘m no expert, so I could be wrong.
  • I purchased a ZTTO T47 68mm DUB BB, which came with two spacers (2mm labeled „road“ and 4,5mm labeled „MTB“). I was only able to install the Rival crank with the „MTB“ spacer on the drive side. There is no notable play in the cranks and they spin ok. Although I‘m not sure, whether this is installed according to spec. Anyone else installed a dub crank on this frame and remembers which spacers he used?
  • The brake hoses were fairly easy to route through the integrated cockpit. However, the internal foam housing damping went up the downtube and created a creaking, when turning the bars so I had to remove the cranks and pull down the foam tube. Now I just get the slightest cable noice when turning the bars.
  • For the installation of the rear Rival brake callipers you need 32mm Flat Mount bolts. 27mm are too short and 37mm are too long. I installed 37mm and used 5mm washers as a temporary solution.
  • In both the Rival callipers the pistons had to be mobilized as one piston was stuck. Then the breaks could be mounted properly, the surfaces on frame and fork seemed phased.
  • There are no grommets included to close the holes in the frame when using wireless shifting.
  • The FD was rubbing in the big ring for a lot of the gears, I ll have to look into it and make sure, this is just an adjustment issue and not connected to the installation of the BB.
  • There is a tiny imperfection in the paint job of which I was informed by LC before shipping and I was asked whether I‘m ok with it or whether I wanted it fixed (further delaying the process). I was ok and received a free bottle cage and mech hanger. Couldnt find any other imperfections so I‘m well happy on how they played this.
  • The hubs are super quiet. Pedestrians wont hear you coming on these ;)
  • Shipment was delayed a couple of times.

I will report back, when I have a few more miles in.
