Mechanically is doesn't but esthetically it's worth all the frustration of internally routing through the bars

I just read the article about it mentioned that he has autism. I don't think it's an excuse, but I also have autism and sounds can drive me nuts and to the brink of insanity. I can't imagine killing an animal but can't get into another person's mind either.

« on: December 09, 2023, 06:16:39 PM »I don't think that this video should be seen as an good example, because the bike is obviously not assembled completely. I assume that fork and headset will have a massive play with this kind of gap. Or, if everything is well compressed sand without play, a washer or the compression ring is out of spec.
That last spacer should not make contact with the frame at all. The compression happens with the metal pass-thru washer that's resting against the top bearing at the head tube. Either that pass thru washer should be thinner by .5mm or that final plastic spacer should have a deeper well to cover more of the pass thru washer as per the last pic

That gap seems a bit large, are you positive that all the parts in the headset are installed correctly? It seems that light carbon includes parts for both full- internal and semi- internal hose routing.
The space looks about the same if you compare to the screenshot of the video lightcarbon posted of the lcr017d
I wouldn't worry about greasing the hoses but would definitely install some foam tubing to keep the hoses/ cables silent.

Wow.., guess less is more! Wouldn't have figure a manufacturer would overstate the weight

Manufacturer says the 54 is closer to 950grams unpainted plus at least another 150-200grams in paint.

« on: December 05, 2023, 11:02:27 AM »54 / Superlight.
910grams for a painted size 54 is insanely light!?! Are you certain the scale is calibrated?

« on: December 05, 2023, 08:59:25 AM »Here are a few pictures.
I weighed the frame and fork on the kitchen scales ;-)
Frame: 911 g
Fork (uncut): 436 g
I think these are outstanding values. Especially as the whole thing has been painted.
Also attached are the desired detailed pictures.
What size is the frame and is it the superlite version?

Yeah the only difference is one is curvy and aero and the other is more boxy and not so aero looking

Can't stop thinking about that boxed up looking down tube.

« on: November 30, 2023, 10:49:35 PM »What is the BB shell width on the LCR017-D yet, is it T47 or T47i?
T47x (external bearings) for the smaller width bb shell
