Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

Check that you have the correct system installed. Are your saddle rails round or oval? On the Ritchey system that I also have, I have found that this clamp covers the seat post better because it goes slightly underneath. Make sure your clamp is seated properly on the seat post (unscrew slightly and press on the rails and screw back in).

It is a versatile frame. Mounted in Di2 Ultagra, TPU and GP5000 tire in 30 ( wheels 1330 gr ) , it weighs about 7.4 kg (size 54). The notions of rigidity, comfort etc. are very personal and therefore very subjective. Riding at 35 km / h is a warm-up for some and the apotheosis for others. I have not noticed any problem with the integrated handlebar but be careful with the measurement (100 mm = 110 mm). For the spacers, I do not remember if they are the original ones but I put spacers that clip on. This allows me from time to time to more easily clean the dirt placed on the upper and lower headset of the fork.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is Wendy's answer :
According to the updated List on UCI's official website, the latest date is as of 2025.01.14, and the passage time of our LCR017-D is 2025.01.21
When they do the next update, they'll definitely have our model.

For my part, no flex on the handlebar (400x100 mm) but which is actually a good 110 mm. I have few spacers, I weigh 69 kg and rarely do sprints (does this explain that?). Lightcarbon has released a new handlebar, a little heavier and wider at the stem

Nice case study. On the one hand, we have a customer who makes a purchase in exchange for a supposedly quality product. But clearly this is lacking. A fork is not an accessory, it is an integral part of the bike and in this sense, the buyer's request seems legitimate to me. What bothers me in this type of story is ultimately the company's defense angle. It starts with a philanthropic speech but the buyer may have eaten pasta for weeks, months to buy a nice frame. So yes, depending on the country, culture, etc., everyone will read this fact differently.

Excuse me for intervening in this political forum. Otherwise, for me...........it's a real pleasure to ride the LC. Again a thousand apologies

it's actually a versatile bike. I'm 178cm for 68kg and I bought the 54. I also have the Vanyar from Elves and the head tube is at 121mm so low I wouldn't say it's a hard bike. Pinch the cross tube under your fingers and you will feel the flexibility of the carbon. I ride a 28 in the front and 30 in the rear at 5 Bar. I was in doubt about the seat post 0 or 20 and I bought both because it also depends on your morphology, saddle length (245cm, 275cm)

This is the part that fits over the upper bearing. Another thing not to neglect is the tightening of the expander in the fork. Sometimes it is not tightened enough and when you compress the steering cap, it tends to go up

29er / Re: Why youtube wants to show chinese carbon frame failures
« on: September 03, 2024, 06:15:59 AM »
In defense, Chinese manufacturers have a lot of work to do in terms of communication, marketing, etc. I am always surprised to see videos of frames coming out of the back of a workshop at some manufacturers and resellers, with just a sheet in the background in a more or less dirty setting. Then, we can see machines dropping weights to see the strength of the carbon. In short, there is a little artisanal side that is not very reassuring.

No sympathy for the people who make fakes and who fuel this industry. As an artistic creator, I would not like someone to copy my works and make the same signature as mine and also sell them under my name. Let these people get inspired and develop their own design, why not. Not to mention that I find it corny. What would you say if someone took your appearance and moved into your bed?

For my part, I installed a Kactus bottom bracket. The letter R was on the left and L on the right (LOL). Obviously, I knew how to correct it. I sent an email to Kactus to report the problem and they admitted that there was a printing problem on certain batches

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
« on: June 06, 2024, 07:05:00 AM »
As the owner of an LCO17, it rolls very well on the flat with 45mm wheels. I don't feel any aerodynamic brakes because of the wider diagonal tube at the bottom. For information, a water container is wider than the frame. In this case, all the frames would therefore be less aerodynamic as soon as you put bottles (???). You have to see the purchase of a bike as a whole (frame + wheel). You can buy a great tennis racket and a string that is unsuitable for your game. First of all, it is the geometry to favor and that is personal.
