Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[KRoser]

zealot128: Nice, thanks. That looks similar as I measured from lightcarbon drawings . 33c rim means 33mm internal width, what rim is that, what is a real width tyre measure?

[RiP]

Photos taken with the 35x622 on a 33c rim.
Front is lots of space, about 1cm on each side.

Back is more constraint, on the width of the wheel: the chainstays are the major hurdle if you want to go wider here, I guess - one of my allen keys just fits in there, 4mm wide, but stuck so <4mm.
So I guess, if you add 3*3 + 35 you come at 41, so a 40er should JUST fit, but maybe has not a lot of margin anymore.

Thank you very much, sir! But still, can I ask you to measure both the front and rear tire widths using that caliper, please? Or have you measured them and they really have 35mm width?

It seems the use of the Caracal Race 40C at the rear will be very difficult indeed. Anyway, I already have them, mounted on 21mm ID rims, and I'll teste it once the frame arrives. I also have some old 19mm ID wheels to test that tire at the rear. Or I can keep that tire/rim at the front and use a narrower tire at the rear, on the same rim...

Thanks for the update, i assume that the rim width is 33mm outside?

Can you take some pictures of the front derailleur with that setup?

I went for the Token Ninja model (BB47V24) and already have it at home, waiting for the frame to arrive. I'm a big fan of Token Ninja BBs, for their price, bearing quality and cup thread-in design! I've been using then for many years now on all my current and previous bikes with PF frames...

What's the best alternative for a GXP crank? Adapter on LightCarbon's shimano T47? Would like to reuse my 11s Red eTap HRD

I have asked Jim for a GXP alternative, but not heard anything yet.

I've finally ordered my frame and just added a complete SRAM Rival AXS XPLR groupset.
This is going to be a wonderful experience

Yes, assuming you already have the regular T47 BB for 24mm axle, you'd just need an adapter shim/reducer for the non-driveside (nds) bearing, as a GXP axle is 22mm nds and regular 24mm ds. Those adapters are easy to find: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-gxp-adapter.html

Hello everyone, I ordered my size 56 in August and I am eagerly awaiting delivery right now. Wendy sent me a Tracking No. today, which unfortunately comes up without useful information as of now. Purportedly the carrier ticket was printed out on September 25th and thus far no new info in the tracking. To the guys who already got their frames: Did you have a tracking no. and was it also in this initial state for several weeks?

Nice. I tried gray color when playing around with AI-tools.

I got my tracking number 8 days ago and its still listed as "shipper has created a label".
I wonder do UPS not update the tracking until it arrives in the UK? Thats the only thing that makes sense to me.
Really hoping everything is still not stuck in China.

Tires both are Schwalbe G-One Speed 35-622 TR. Rim has 33mm outside measurement, 25mm or so internal width.
Width of those tires:
- Back: 37.4mm @ 2.5 bar
- Front 38.6mm  @ 4.0 bar (filled in Tubeless stuff yesterday and pumped up harder, waited for leaks over night, None!)

So YMMV, those "35" tires get wider depending on rim + pressure i suppose. In this light, the front is even more spacy.

The Shimano DI2 FD has only 8mm gap to this tire - see photo for clearance.

My shipping status (DHL) didn't get updated 1 day before delivery, so I guess that is not a thing to worry about. 13 days to Germany.

I don't have the BB for 24mm axle, but Shimano T47 BB is the closest option from LightCarbon.

Don't worry, it is normal. For exemple, if you live in Europe, you will not have any update until 2 or 3 days before delivery in your country.

I am on day 11 of shipping and I have the same information as your. In the next few days, I know that I will have an update.

Ok, so you can use that LC supplied BB and a GXP adapter/shim, like the ones I posted before. Or any other similar BB from Token, Praxis, etc...

So, your rear tire is 37.4mm and my Caracal Race is 41.5mm, exactly 4mm more, that should be 2mm more on each side of the tire compared to yours. Taking your measurement with de 4mm allen key as reference, I guess it will leave just 1mm gap on each side...
