even then, the restaurant should be given the opportunity to make it right.
There is a lot of fuss being made here about one frame. i think there will be QC issues but as long as the companies deal with it in the right way (in the end the customer should be satisfied with what they got), for me this is acceptable.
After all, to expect flawless QC at a fraction of the price for western brands is quite unrealistic.
On a different note: does anybody have the exact clearance for the fork and seat stays? Im wondering if 32 mm really is the limit or if i can push it a couple more mm if necessary.
I agree, as per my previous post. A factory that makes 1000 frames will have more QC issues than one that makes 10, assuming a constant error rate. And Yishun is very big, afaik. So while i'm disappointed by their reaction to the swiss cheese frame, taking a step back, yishun / lightcarbon is still a seller with great reputation overall. So the restaurant analogy isn't quite right.
On clearance, it's rated 32C, not 32mm, so you can run a 32C tyre on a wider than 32mm rim, your tyre will measure 32-33-34...mm and you'll be fine. If you're saying you want to run a 35C tyre, then it's a different question. On my LT268, i have a 34mm rim and a 32C tyre, and i have loads of space all around. the frame is also rated 32C.
