The LCR018-D frame will be available in September, the 52cm size has been tested, and the 55cm size is currently being tested. This frame will be matched with the latest HBR18 ultra-light handlebar.

hi
i bought cs handlebars

Hi everyone,
I’ve come across a concerning issue with my carbon frame and would really appreciate your advice.

I recently noticed a visible crack on the top tube, close to the headset area. I’ve attached a photo below to show exactly where it is (if possible to include). I haven’t had any crashes or impacts that could obviously explain this.

My main concern is whether the frame is still safe to ride, especially on the road.
Would you trust it, or is it too much of a risk?
Has anyone experienced something similar, and how did you handle it?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

I just had to replace a 24g RideNow tube after a day of use. I suspect I ran over glass as I went through 3 tubes in 2 rides until I found the offending piece of glass had actually remained in the tire somehow. So, I can't really blame the tube. BUT I noticed a bubble had formed near the valve stem where the tube was trying to stretch its way out in the space between the rim and the stem. Clearly, the tpu is just a little too thin to stand up to anything but absolutely perfection in terms of rim, tire, or anything else you send at it.

It was one of my last remaining 24g tubes. Most of my tubes are 36g RideNow's but I had 1 or 2 hanging around from an old order.

My D60CU-31 T1100 20/20H UD matt with 5.0mm carbon spokes are built and on their way

Peter has been a pleasure to deal with and all of my incessant questions about different options

Can’t wait to ride them!
