Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Hello, I have finished assembling my LightCarbon LCR017D. Here is the list of the assembled equipment: Frame: 52 (LCB-08HS color) Integrated handlebar and stem: 40/90 Groupset: WHEELTOP EDS Crankset: MAGENE P505 - 170mm cranks Pedals: LFZ Chainrings: DUAL-OVAL 50/36 Cassette: SPADEO-Casette 11-28 Chain: SUMC SX11SL-116L Brake pads: BUCKKUB Brake disc: NEWGOAL 160mm Saddle: RYET Black carbon Wheels: ELITEWHEELS Drive 40 mm Tires: CONTINENTAL GP5000 STR 28" Inner tube: CYCLAMI TPU 28" FV45mm Computer: HAMMERHEAD Karoo 3 My dimensions: 177 cm / 71 kg Weight of the bike (with pedals/computer/rear light/bottle): 7.8 kg I expect more than my CYCPLUS L7. I was able to travel 100 km with it and I am delighted with the behavior of the bike. Responsive without being penalizing in case of less well. February 02, 2025, 05:16:54 AM |

I used a Cable housing of 4mm and his cap inserted in the "Sram cable stop", inserted the cable and tightened the small Allen screw . Oh, found it. I didn't know another cable stop had come together. Thanks! Eureka! April 08, 2025, 08:10:27 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
I agree the the only solution is to make the FD thinner. But before I would like to see if I can find a good alignment the same. Tightening the bolt not too much it doesnt rotate too much. I also noticed tha lowering a bit the FD it doesnt touch on the frame, I think that with a 50T chainring it would be easier. Im currently using a 52T chainring. Anyway I completed the build, except this issue with the Wheeltop EDS TX the frame is great. Shakedown went good, except a bit of noise from the FD on some gears. Very happy for how it rides!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
I finished building mine up this weekend and took it for a 40km ride and it seems good so far. I'm looking forward to putting some decent wheels on it but it seems faster than my old Ribble R872 and the mechanical shifting is crisper than the Ultegra R6800 on that despite the tight internal cable runs. I just need to find a way to stop the front brake hose rattling in the fork on uneven tarmac descents. Total cost inc shipping 56cm Frame, fork, stem etc £685.98 Shimano M7100 groupset £305.46 (the cranks are going on my smart trainer bike) Shimano RX610 crankset £50.15 Shimano RX820 front mech £18.45 4m SP41 outer £12.76 Anti rattle foam cable housing £5.80 (but enough to do 2 more bikes) BALUGOE 420mm bar £59.99 Saddle and bar tape £25.13 (I wanted to see what it looked like in brown, it's probably getting changed to black) XTR pedals borrowed from my HT DT Swiss G1800 wheels borrowed from my commuter (waiting for some Tagoola 50mm wheels £176.59) Conti GP5000 32mm x 2 £82.04 Ridenow TPU tubes x 2 £10.18 IIIpro 160mm/140mm discs £15.20 Bottle cage £7.14 Saab stickers £5.60 Total £1464.20 August 10, 2025, 03:03:21 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Just sharing my experience with the bike. I initiated my conversation with Wendy on WhatsApp on the 18th of March. Was unsure of which chameleon paint to pick. She sent a lot of different photos of paints. Went with the LCB-02HS - same as another kind poster on here. Thanks for helping me decide! Finalized & paid on the 19th of March. Received the frame on the 7th of May. Well packaged and nothing to fault. I've done 2000 km on it now and done a 200k ride once. It rides really well. However, I did manage to somehow break the seatpost clamp mechanism. The "plate" that holds it against the frame dislodged after disassembly. I'm unsure if it was due to user error or not. I asked to buy 2 new ones on a Thursday & for it to be shipped through express shipping. They covered half the shipping & I had it in hand the following Monday. I notice that the torque spec is lower on their website in comparison to the sheet of paper with torque specs that was included with the frame. Regardless of this minor hiccup, I'm really happy with both the frame as well as the bike as a whole. It's built up with Ultegra Di2 & the Magene PES P505 power meter. It's a joy to ride. Would buy again
