Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[patliean1]

I had the opposite headset issue on my Yishun R086-D. Had to spend about 20 minutes sanding down the bottom edge of the plastic headset cover to prevent it from rubbing on the headtube. Apparently this is more common than I realized so it wasn't a big deal.

Looking ahead to 2024 I don't really have any new frames that really catch my interested to build/review. The LCR017-D is probably the only one at the moment (especially the lightweight version). However, I can't imagine it would ride significantly different than my Yishun R086-D

@patilean1, I thought the LCR017-D was being positioned as a more "Endurance" oriented frame ... also, just looking at proportions and the configuration of the stays, etc., as well as the significantly lover bottom bracket, I'm guessing the '17 will be a more compliant/stable bike, but who knows! All told, I would love to see you review this one, so any additional motivation I can come up with, I will (valid or no!  )

The spacers don interact with how the bottom cup sits on the top bearing. I think the gap is caused by some incorrect assembly or the tube race is doing something funky in there.

the last spacer covers the pass-thru washer and if the recessed portion isn't deep enough it will affect the gap even after it's assembled correctly

If you have a reliable measuring device, perhaps you could ask WhityBlanc for the height of the cover, as well as the part that separates the cables?

I think the easiest solution is to just file down the pass through washer so the gap is minimized.

It actually looks good on my bike and I don't have any gaps - and I haven't even finalized everything yet.
I have a different handlebar because the handlebar stem units didn't fit me in terms of dimensions, but that has nothing to do with the gap...

I have also assembled the bike so far and so far I am very satisfied.
I'm having my fork shortened by a friend in the next few days.

I'll probably be able to show you the finished build by the beginning of next week at the latest :-)

@WhityWhite
-Have to ask about the "middle spacer with what seems to be cable guide into a ACR 55 headset" on the stem photo. What is that, a stem piece (which one?)
Thanx,
Chris

as the monocockpits unfortunately didn't fit me in terms of size, I asked for a separate stem. That's why I got this part.

I've just finished the bike and don't want to withhold the first pictures from you. 

If you like, I'll be happy to create a separate thread for the build, with decent pictures and what the riding impression is like.

As it's a pretty wet winter here at the moment and I'm working until dark, I won't be able to start the first test drive until next weekend at the earliest

I love the saddle to handlebar drop hehe

Wow...Nice!  You must be dying to take it for a spin!  What the weight for the bare wheels youre using? 

[neobiker]

This is a really light build. Which version of the frame did you get?

This frame is designed to accommodate 32 tires. Can you confirm? THANKS

Thanks, The wheels I'm planning on using for this frame are about the same weight, so hopefully I'll be around the same ballpark total as your build is
