I have a question about this 0.7mm spacer. This was originally discussed on page 85 of this thread. (I 'borrowed your picture Picograms - I hope that's okay). I tried a mock build with it and the gap looks too big. I built up a mock build without the spacer and it looks just right - no rubbing. Is there any compelling reason to use the spacer?



Just incase anyone needs to know. I built mine up without the spacer and found there was a very slight rub. Not too much, but I can imagine it would mark the paint eventually. I have now fitted the spacer.

The British Racing Green color from the lightcarbon palette is a pearl color. Below is a photo of the frame in this color.

As for samples of other colors, I recommend using Chat GPT or Gemini. Attach a photo and add a query such as "change the color of the frame and fork to (color here). Include a verbal description of the color, with the Pantone and hex ID)". Below are a few examples of generated photos (reference photos borrowed from this thread).
The green frame in the photo is mine, it's true that it depends on the light conditions - it can be dark green or if the sun shines it's pretty sparkly and bright. I love the color. Don't have any pictures as I didn't finish the build yet.

POTOOOOOOOO

It’s almost like they included it for a reason 😂

Just heard back from Carol regarding the computer mount as I enquired about the titanium one and if there will be a shorter one.
The titanium one is a bit shorter, which is better for my small Garmin.

She said it will cost $35 - I'd love to order one.
Its in development and have just emailed back to see when it would be ready to order.

Photo from Carol:




That’s weird. My titanium mount was exactly the same length as the plastic one. Not shorter nor lighter. Guess I need to try that 3d-print a few pages back.

Just bough the frame, excited for it! Is anyone using the Magene P505 on this? (So the older version). Formally it is not compatible with internal T47 BBs but people have reported that it fits depending on the frame. Looking at the photos, I would think it should fit.

Thanks!

hoolabalooza: I tried Magene P505 on my LightCarbon and it unfortunately does not fit, with my bikone bb it rub against the frame.

Hopefully that means mine will be painted soon. I ordered a 54cm on November 26

Yesterday I was told that my 56 that was paid on Dec 15th will not be ready before Chinese new year. No frames will come out of production from 10 till end of Feb. Then it needs to be painted.
Will probably be end of March before I have it   :(

Would using spacers work?

Yeah I think their newer P515 was released in part to fix these issues with the spindle and spider not always fitting with T47 bottom brackets

I'm still waiting for mine :( Ordered Dec 1 but customized to have top tube bolts. Hopefully within a week or so.

tintilor: I dont know, I did not think of that, so I did not try that. Even if some spacer would work it would be pretty close.

lb7894546: You are right, P515 is comparable with T47 frames.
