Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: How do you decide wheelset suppliers to buy from?
« on: March 06, 2025, 02:43:33 PM »
However, I wouldn't necessarily say that all of the copies are good. Unfortunately, I had problems with the ProX copy (I think the ProX C68DB Disc Hub) because the springs lost power after a few rides and the freehub no longer gripped and the chain jumped  (the solution was to buy original DT Swiss springs). I had a similar problem with the EliteWheels EDGE copy. You have to be very careful about what kind of copy it is. Petr (Cyclist Hub) had a similar problem on YouTube with his superteam. To understand, watch his video:

There are some companies selling carbon spokes with regular nipple end, but we don't, since those spokes without stable quality.

But we can build T1100 version rims with regular stainless spokes.
 Attached pictures are D50CU-33 T1100 rims 24/24H built with Sapim CX-Ray spokes and in-house hubs 36T rachets enduro steel bearings with Shimano HG driver


I would be very interested in the wheelset mentioned above. How much would thiswheelset exactly cost including shipping to Germany? Kind regards
Robert

Meant to reply to this ages ago, and seeing Patrick's YouTube today reminded me...
Peter kindly agreed to make the following for a monster gravel bike, and the results are absolutely brilliant...

D40CU-33 T1100 rims UD paintless 28/28H
Carbon Speed in-house ratchet boost hubs with steel bearings 6 bolts straight pull for 110*15/148*12 with Shimano HG driver
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Sapim self-securing brass nipples

Had a month or so on them now and they've been great!
Thanks again Peter, outstanding wheels!

I would also be very interested in a similar wheelset. How much would your above set cost?

All modern paint jobs should be clear coated instead of just buffing the paint to a high gloss finish.

Wendy posted this lc17 on facebook with clear coat over just the raw carbon frame.

That's actually a very good tip. Next time I probably won't order a very thick protective coat

Well I must say it looks great the colour. Are you fitting 32 tires? Do you think it's possible to fit 35?

About the Clear coating, maybe @Jim can confirm but I'd assume it should have it. Maybe they need to improve it too

I'm currently driving a 30mm Vittoria Corsa Next and there's not a lot of space. 35mm shouldn't be a problem at all

Yeah the colour looks great but if it chips, not sure it's worth to pay.

Which colour is it?

The color should be metallic Blue
But in real it isnt looking like on the color samples (But wandy from LC communicated this with me and asked if Its ok that isnt lake the Color chart
I approved it to avoid further delays

Clear coating over the color usually helps with durability which I wrongly assumed was included with the cost of painting

Thanks
The Next time i am going to ask for the protective clear coating for shure.

Beauty! Love the color! How’s the paint finish close up? Also, thanks for the feedback on the bottles. Ordered a couple to ship with my frame (still a month before shipping … the parts are so lonely! :P).

The Color Finishing is not the best unfortunetly
After 500km I have alredy some chips in the Color
It isnt so durable like the name Brands

Please consider using different logos, it's pretty cringe (and illegal in lots of jurisdictions) to ride fakes. My bike looks like a Factor and i made Tractor decals, it's my way of trolling Factor. But putting Factor logos would just be cringe.
Light carbon makes good frames, there's no shame in riding one, but it doesn't make it a cannondale.
Nice build though, let us know how it rides & holds up over time!


I know
And it was never my Intention to drive it with the Cannondale decals
I originaly ordered with Lightcarbon dacals for 35$
But unfortunatly wendy and LC forgot to put the decals on my frame

Sorry
