Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Hoogie: Yeah, no problem. It is pretty simple part and maybe it is even non issue for most I just personally dont like anything serrated against carbon :).

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Also if anyone is interested and have access to 3dprinter, here is my design for Garmin Varia rigid holder specific to LCR018-D seatpost profile.

Big thanks to Jim from LightCarbon, he was able to sent me seatpost profile drawing in high res and thanks to that he saved me a lot of time in CAD and measuring. I think that was pretty awesome from LightCarbon.

Only thing you will need is M3 hexagon nut (there is a little cut out in holder where do you slot or push in m3 nut) and M3x20mm bolt, puck and puck bolts you can use the ones from original Varia mount.

I also recommend to use at least 3 wall loop and 25% infill (just to be sure just print it with 100% infill, it increases weight for just 2g :) ) in slicer, and PETG material for increased temperature and UV resistance.

Funny question, I just asked the axle specs from LC as I am in the process of placing my order.

This post includes photos that show the axle specs.

This frame uses proprietary thru axles? Are you kidding me?

Like mention before:

The axles are included with the frame and they're quite light. Unfortunately, you won't find a lighter alternative that fits well 😬



you can use other but care about the "Countersunk design for the thru-axle head"

NOTE: dont see it as a problem, i had 4 diferent bikes each one have its own design and never fucked up a axle (only 1/4 of my bikes have a flat head )



Quoted:"- there is no real standard in through axles, manufacturers can pick widths, pitch heights and interfaces."   

 Agree

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) BMC use a similar/ same design. It’s really not a problem.

They’re decently light so changing them for weight loss is kinda pointless unless you’ve taken every last gram out of the other components, and yourself.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) First Impressions – LCR018

Just like another rider who owns the same frame, I’ll use the exact same word to describe it:

“SMOOTH”

Today I did 100 km (around 1000 m of elevation gain) and the overall feeling was simply amazing.

What a geometry.
I felt super comfortable, always in control and with total confidence on the bike.

In my opinion, it’s clearly some kind of all-rounder with an endurance DNA:

Climbs well

Responds well enough in sprints

Has good aerodynamics

Rolls fast on the flats

But its strongest point… is comfort

Properly equipped, it’s more than capable of racing Fondos and long-distance events.
It’s not a pure crit race machine — it doesn’t have that ultra-aggressive, razor-sharp nervous feel — but that’s not what it’s built for.

It’s a bike for riders who want performance with control and real long-ride comfort.

And in that role… it absolutely delivers.

Hello everyone.

I'm planning to order a frame and I'm unsure about the internal storage. I have seen in previous posts that the frame is obviously less stiff, but... Do you appreciate something when riding the bike? I will use the bike to race in some triathlons (short distance) so I'm in doubt about purchasing the frame with or without internal storage. Any recommendations?

I am storing tubes, tire levers and a multitool in the storage bag. Having this i don't need the saddle bag anymore.
IMO it looks better and cleaner - i would always opt for it.
Triathlon will have no Sprint in the Bike - the less stiffness should affect less than in crits.
Beside this: Most of the km will be Training and not in a competition.

They sent this to me in the UK in a way that did not involve any extra tax. I am not sure if they can guaranty 100% that it will be free of tax.
