Re: Value wheelset for 35mm tires Those are a bit narrower one. Iam building bike for 35mm road tyres to and I think https://www.xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1650 these one are the best choice for that.
I tested now Michelin PRO 5 in 35mm and on 28 internal width rim they measure exactly real 37mm on 50psi so kind of perfectly aligned with this rim.

Iam going to order wheels on those rims and put Michelin PRO5 35mm on back (real 37mm) and Michelin PRO 5 32mm in front (on 28internal width rim they are measuring 35mm). I think that would be good combo.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Thank you for your comment.
I’ll be very happy to share my experience with the frame and of course how it rides for someone with our height.

For comparison, I will get the same position on the Bike as I have on this:
Saddle height something at 820mm

Hey fellow 018-D Lurkers!

First of all: big thank you to all of you for sharing all these valuable infos - also great to see LC active on this forum.

I’ve recently ordered a 58cm (lead time end of October) with an own, custom design.
Was in contact with Wendy and overall I’m very pleased with the ordering experience. Due to the kind of complicated design it took a while to dial everything in (and at some point Wendy should have told us earlier that some parts of the planned design is not possible to paint, would have saved a couple of hours of work with the designer) but in the end we‘ve found a good solution.


I am 193cm with a 93cm inseam. I’ve used Bike-stats to match the position of my Dropbar MTB and went for a 110mm Stem.
The bike is going to be a long distance/all road project.
Will use my 45mm Light Bicycle WR45 wheelset (with a SON Delux & Carbon Ti X Hub).
Biggest challenge will be the routing of the dynamo cable to my front light.
Groupset is likely a mix of Force E1, and Garbaruk Stuff. 44T to 52-10

I am 192cm tall and 89cm inseam. I have just ordered the 58cm frame with 15mm offset seatpost and 380/100 integrated handlebar.  Estimates that they have just gave me is November plus 2-4 weeks for paint job.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks to all of you — I’ve learned a lot from the information shared in this thread, and it really helped me make my decision. That’s also why I finally decided to create an account here.

At first, I was aiming for the LCG071-D frame, but since I won’t be running 50-622 tires, I later noticed that the LCR018 can take up to 38 mm, which is more than enough for me. If I ever want to go with 50-622, I’ll just take my MTB instead.

So yesterday I ordered an LCR018-D in size 56. I’m 182 cm tall with a 91 cm inseam — yes, long legs and a short torso, part of the freakshow cabinet. A bike fit suggested a size 56, same as my current Kona Roadhouse.
And a zero offset post and 100 /380 bar

I went for matte black without logos, mainly because I couldn’t find a color I really liked in the LC charts. Not sure yet if I’ll keep it matte black or paint it myself, but I’ve got plenty of time to decide while the frame is being built. Wendy mentioned production will take about 30–45 days. I requested DPD shipping so that all taxes and fees are prepaid.

I also asked for a 51 mm offset fork instead of the 47 mm, hoping it will make the ride feel a bit more stable, since I’m more used to the slacker head angles of MTBs. If it turns out not to be ideal, I can always order a 47 mm fork later on.

As for components: I already have a set of SRAM Force D1 AXS shifters, so those will go on the bars. For wheels I’ll be using a NOVATEC R4 DISC CL-PRO-XDR-Gen5 set. Still undecided between a 1x or 2x drivetrain — top speed isn’t really a priority, and there’s not much climbing here in the Netherlands. I guess it depends on what good deals come along.

To be continued!

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) 990g is the weight of the frame w/o the metal storage cover.
frame seems very sturdy on the frontal area, more than the BB area (but i'm by no means a carbon expert)
fork seems also robust.
love the handlebars design, construction seems ok.
saddle looks comfy, very well finished. can't wait to take it for a ride.

My partner has a pair since the beginning of the summer, version 2, which has some arch support. She is satisfied so far.

Definitely on my purchasing list  :)

Oh nice. My order went into production today. Maybe will get it in about 1-2 weeks!
