For those that have ordered to the UK, how long have your orders taken from notification that it's been posted to arriving at your doorstep?

Hello,

Does anybody know if this expander cold be mounted on the LCR018 ?

Nice!   I'm loving the poppy, playful ride of a coil shock equipped Smuggler. 

I keep wondering when we are going to see a better selection of carbon fiber trail bike frames from the Chinese direct to consumer manufacturers. 

120-130 rear travel with 130-140 front travel with chainstay length around 430-435.   It would be great to see a DW link suspension now that the patent has run out.

Getting off topic here, however.  This is better for another thread.

can you share your height and inner leg? I am 172 and inner leg 80cm and wonder 50 or 52 will fit better

I also debated between size 50 and 52 and am glad I went with the 50. 
The standover height was a major factor given my shorter inseam.

Height 170.2 cm
Inseam 76.0 cm

Bike config:
Spacers under the handlebar - 40mm
Seat tube trimmed - 38mm
Crank arm length - 160mm
Handlebar stem length - 90mm 
Seat post offset - 15 mm

The fit feels very natural. I was expecting to have to play with things more, but the amount of tweaking to be done is minimal.

I have an extra seat post with zero offset and also another handlebar with 100 mm stem. 
I will play with these over time to see what feels best.

Hope this helps.

Well, I am 172cm, too - but with an 81,5cm inseam and quite happy with size 52.

Hi,

I'm looking for an expander with a thinner top than the one from LC which is 3mm thick. POTO did send a link to a specialized one but the product is not available anymore. Does anybody know an expander that could  suit the bike with a thinner top ? Thank you !

You can try to see if this is compatible, it works for SL7 https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005990111396.html

well it doesn't help at all 
so the question is 81.5 inseam was measured by pressing the book all the way up while standing as it should be? This is also how i measured mine + you need to remember that the shorts insert is another thing that should be removed from that 81.5cm but i didn't personally measure with it.

and the second one i have kinda short arms

Hey! I should receive my frame tomorrow ! Quick question, when I will have to cut the fork, should I cut it 3mm under the top of the stem ?

Thanks

Yes, hehe... but I thought I would be better than nothing :-/

I measured my inseam with the ,,book method" all the way up ;-) I guess, I am having long legs compared to other men 🤷🏽‍♀️

You should measure 3 times, check 5 times and then cut once.
