Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[K-Ninja]

Hello everybody, a simple question. Is the BB offered for LightCarbon good or are better alternatives. I don't like something exotic like ceramic bearings, only a BB that works without problems. Thanks!

The BB supplied by LC is a Gineyea branded item. Yes - better ones are available. I spent about £35 for one - just a good brand without going mad.

I haven't used yet but I upgraded to the CEMA ceramic BB through LC. They offer a discount when buying with a frame, the reviews seemed good and it cost less for me than getting a standard name brand BB locally. The BB itself looks great and bearings felt smooth. I know that doesn't mean anything without riding but reviews out there deem the CEMA BBs to be good.

Hello,

I'm trying to get a BB on AliExpress but I don't even find the good measurements for the BB. Could you send a link to the one you bought please ? It would be a great help !

Thanks !

Caliper mounting screws are supposed to be supplied with the frame, right? Can't seem to find them anywhere

No, they come with the brakes/ shifters

[kjerts]

The long ones too?

[POTOOOOOOOO]

Yes

All the hardware to mount brakes come with my groupset. Shimano Ultegra Di2.

i've never seen a frame come with groupset specific bolts - that is determined by the groupset manufacturer not the frame builder. that's over 30's years of building custom bikes... they are easily ordered spares from any bike shop or online

Will a 40c can fit on this frame using a 24internal width carbon rim? Thanks

[hoolabalooza]

Is the 35mm requirement the same for SRAM bolts? I only have the 32s around so would appreciate a heads up if anyone knows

Yes, a 40mm rim also fits in the frame (ZIPP XPLR), and I've now installed a 36mm rim (28mm internal width). On it is a Schwalbe R Pro tire, which is exactly 39.5mm wide on the rim. However, that's also the maximum width I would recommend for the frame (at the rear). 45mm also fits at the front.
