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

[dinorello]

Cheap isn’t necessarily bad… isn’t that why we’re all here?

Hahahaha...spot on!  I still prefer shimano over Ltwoo groupsets

[Stoemper]

dont over complicate it. the T47 standard makes mounting the cups that hold the bearings very easy and assures good alignment. The bearings them selfs have some quality differences but certainly not 200 euros worth of difference.

I went with Praxis. its way better then the elvedes BB that besides not fitting didnt have any trace of grease. These come with some loctite on the thread and pre aplied grease for the axle. I got them for 50 euro's at a local bikeshop. but i see online they can be found for even less like this german based webshop: https://www.bike24.nl/producten/272474?source=SBP&indexName=production_SEARCH_INDEX_NL&objectId=272474&queryId=b9d792503aa25b7f4d3d7200318231ba&userToken=3f2f54e6-6ae2-413c-ac9e-ff96baa5b254

Now I have a problem with my frame.

I wanted to give it a good clean after yesterday's ride. But I am not able to remove the back wheel.

The axle is kinda stuck somewhere. It is turning freely, the threads in the derailleur hanger are fine. The wheel itself is moving on the axle. But still I'm not able to remove the axle from the frame. Never hat such an issue.

I can reassemble it and everything is fine. Just can't get the axle out. I've even tried WD-40 and tapping the axle with a wooden stick and soft hammer.

Anyone got an idea what is the problem here?

Is it still in the thread? If it is not then the only way is brute force it out. Possibly the axle is bend?

No, it is not threaded anymore. I can even push the rear stays away from each other.

I've tried to hammer it with some Force. But the axle is not moving to the non drive side.

I think that if the axle is bend, I would face problems while riding?

[Stoemper]

Dunno I don’t see how it could be. But if you can unscrew it the rest of the way is through the wheel axel and that should be smooth bushing.

Yes, that is what I'm thinking too. I don't understand it to be honest. Maybe the fit on the non driver side for the head of the axle is to firm, so the axle head has gone into the carbon.
I really don't know ans don't understand why I can't tap it out.

Try loosening the set screw on the rear dropout before removing the rear axle

[DiabloMiles]

I also have the problem. Now i lossen the rear axle 2-3 rotations and hit the non drive side rear stay once. Then i can unsrew the axle. The head/washer gets stuck in the carbon cutout.

Second problem is the water in the frame after a ride in the rain.
I will drill a hole under the BB to drain the water. Until now i drain the water with the rear derailleur hole. Last time it was 150ml of water. The water even damaged the BB bearings.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that tomorrow.
I was also thinking that it must be something like the axle stucking in the carbon cut out. I think it is the same problem with my frame.

My frame have a tiny hole under the BB for water drainage.
Did your frame miss this hole?

[PaxiH]

Actually I tried it right now and it was working after a few attempts. Seems like the fit of the axle washer in the frame cut out is really tight.

Scrap out the paint before reinstalling axle

Yeah, I ordered the SRAM one through my LBS.  $45 and I am sure it will do just fine.  Decided to absolutely not overcomplicate it and just wait until they can get it instead of scramble for something from somewhere, if you know what I mean ;-)

I asked Wendy to buy some extra headset spacers but postage is 39$    anyone found any compatible spacers?

This set looks compatible: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EQFEjbt

Send that link to big Wendy and ask her to confirm. Fitment
