Lexon Gravel Frame
« on: February 02, 2024, 02:23:50 AM »
I’ve seen a few posts in the past asking about Lexon frames, I’ve been riding one for over a year now.

Overall the quality has been good, no issues with frame. If i was picky id say the frame has a bit of flex at the BB area.

I built it up with Ltwoo road and have had no issues, i had a minor issue with the shifting (had an Ali cassette) my mechanic changed it to a sram and the thing now shifts flawless.

Super happy with it.

The frame look really nice without the toptube-bag/bento. But the 'dent' in the frame isnt particulary good look when adding a bag/bento I think. Still an option for me. What did you pay?

Quick question, what cassette size are you running? Do you think the LTwoo RX can handle an 11-36t cassette? I have a spare frame laying around that I plan to build up, I'm thinking of using LTwoo RX for a 2x gravel setup. Thanks!

It probably can take it, (I run it with a 34t without issues), but the problem is not that, the problem is that it has a pretty weak spring. For road it more or less works, but chain hitting the stay and flying around will definitely be an issue  with such a weak spring.
