Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[Bender87]

Your frame turned out beautifully. Here's the photo that answers my question:

I hesitate to tell you that there are really nice brake rotors with blue anodized centers, from Hope, for example.

Yep, i saw them, but they are twice the price as the shimano one, not worth it for me to pay 70-80€ for a blue disc rotor.

When I first joined this conversation I said that this frame ticked all my boxes. That's not exactly true. My perfect frame would use a 27.2mm round seatpost. I get that no manufacturer is going to spec that as part of a design with a brief to be marketed as "aero". Still, if this frame had a non-proprietary post, it would be an easy swap.

There's been a fair amount of chat about the seat clamp design. I thought the design looked familiar, then I place it. It's Parlee's design.

LightCarbon uses the same design both round and aero posts. I wonder how Parlee customers feel about the design.

Something must be wrong with my browser.. The Parlee prices are 10 times what they should be. Rubles?

My 58 size bike is assembled.  I was worried that maybe frame will be small. I am 192cm tall and my inseam is 90cm. Seat post is not even half way up so this size should also fit taller riders than me.

Can’t wait for a nice dry day to test it out.

Would you mind sharing your saddle height (centre of BB to top of saddle)?

Cheers

A $350 seatpost is impervious to disappointment due to the baked in confirmation bias. It's a feature, not a bug.

I know this topic has already been discussed, but I can’t find it again here in the forum. Is it normal to have this gap between the headset and the spacers? I still have to cut the steerer tube, but it seems very large to me. I haven’t even installed the spacer of 0,7 shown in the picture, because I’ve already read that it can also be left out

Not normal. You have to fit the compression ring into the bearing.

[KRoser]

Francy68: Yeah that is not normal, you must have put in something upsidedown or something.

[Bike.Man]

No, the gap shouldn't be that big! You need to check the installation!
I ended up having to install the 0.7mm spacer after all because at 6 Nm it was too tight against the top tube 😬

So if anyone want to try a bit shorter computer mount for HBR17 handlebars, there you go .
I would recommend to print it with a bit finer layer height (0.15mm, 0.16mm) and 100% infill with supports for countersunk holes.

Also disclaimer, use it at your own risk, I dont take responsibility for any harmed or lost computers , this is untested part.
Iam running similar 3dprinted mount on my aeroad with no problem, but canyon has different mount style so this one is unknown.

It seams pretty sturdy so I dont think it is going to snap right away and theoretically should be fine, but you never know.
Also I dont know if it is going to fit garmin 5xx computer, I do not have one to test it.

You can use screws and mount pucks from original lightcarbon mount.

Fantastic, and now again in that design please 😄

[Konajra]

My frame was delivered today. I'll order the remaining parts for my bike somewhere in the coming weeks. It's too cold to build up my frame in the shed anyway.

[KRoser]

Bike.Man: I like that design to, but I dont think it is suitable for 3d print. For 3d titanium maybe, but definitely not for plastic one, that would snap pretty easily.

[JensenMacD]

Why not get the titanium one LC offers? Sure it's a little spoon like with no computer. Once you put a computer on, it looks fine. Note, I am just holding it up to the bars, nothing is mounted.

Fantastic work, thank you for sharing it with us! I love the spirit in the forum.

Do you think the design could be modified so that the bell from “Close the Gap” could be included? That would be awesome! I use these bells on all my bikes and find them to be one of the most useful gadgets on a bike—the bells can simply be clipped onto the mount.
