Light carbon HBR17 integrated bars

[gribs]

That's normal. The top cap is wedge shaped to account for it.

A question for Lightcarbon HBR17 owners...
Is it the same for you, that the fork tube sits slightly crooked in the handlebar clamp, even though it's been cut perfectly straight?

In the attached picture, you can see that the side of the handlebar clamp with the bolt is slightly higher.

Yep, same for me. I think the cover is designed in a way that makes the screw aligned with the compression plug, so there should be no issues.

I currently run the HBR17 on my LCG071 as a Gravel setup, works perfectly fine for me, also on gravel.
I ordered a 100x380. They measure exactly 380(c-c). Also they measure 100 in length. Measurement on the bolt looks off in the picture, but is perfectly centered.
Reach of 75 and angle of -7 also looks to be correct.
I tried to capture the rise, also 8mm rise looks fine for me.
Stiffness and ergonomics is fine.
Also if you are wondering: to get it painted is only 20$ extra
If you anything else, just let me know.
What I don‘t like: Top cap could be more precise (maybe because it is painted). Computer mount faces straight forward, a little tilt towards me would be better. Maybe I need to try the titanium mount.
For comparison: I also have a Vision Metron 5D evo on my roadbike.

How do you like it vs the Metron 5D Evo? I plan on switching to either that or this to replace my stem + bar combo that came w/ my Argon 18 Sum. Since the Sum has these 3D spacers, I figure the 8mm of rise would help me reduce how many spacers I'm running. The Metron is obviously more reputable & is on a pretty steep discount atm so wanted to hear your thoughts.

anyone ordered these recently? curious about time until shipping. not sure if LC is struggling to meet demand only on frames or everything.

I ordered a 380x110 and was told 2-4 weeks for production before shipping.

Aren't the Ullicyc T4 Ultra on AliExpress near identical to the HBR17?
Slight differences in the mounting system to the fork and cable routing ports, but the rest seems very comparable to me...

Hmm, they definitely look very same-y but to me looking at pictures from the front it appears the Ullicyc are evenly curved while the HBR17 are more V shaped.

Since I haven't decided on the frame yet I can't say if one or the other is better or worse in terms of mounting system and accessories (for me).

Did not have the Metron but I've been riding different integrated handlebars for quite some time. I tried previous iteration of LCR one piece cockpit (HBR11, IIRC) which were not that good weight and stiffness wise. I was seriously impressed with the quality of HBR17 handlebar in these regards - it is on a lighter side, quite stiff and one of the very few that provide longer stem versions at reasonable price. The curve of the dropbar is really good - it doesn't have the uncomfortable bump between the hoods and the upper part of the dropbar which is very common on chinese handlebars. The riser might be not for everyone, I personally would like to have some sweep and horizontal surface for more neutral hand position but I don't use tops very often so not a big deal for me. Overall, considering shape, price, stiffness and weight, it is one of the best handlebars on the market at the moment.

Attached are both, the HBR17 (LCR bike) and the ULLICYC T4 Ultra (with the Garmin). The T4 is generally more bulky and I prefer its look except for the mounting front screw.

Let me know if you need measurements or other pictures.

the titanium mount is also flat/straight, meaning no tilt or angle up towards the rider.  i wish it had a slight tilt up to see the bike computer a little bit better.

Just found this bar yesterday and I immediately want one!

Could something like this work with a standard round spacer setup? I have a Trek Domane SL5 Gen 3. I'd have to have the cable route out of the underneath side of the bar and into the top tube behind the stem, so might look a bit weird, but I'm not even sure a bar like this would work with round spacers.
