Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Finished the build tonight at long last.
What a beautiful bike - the raw carbon gloss finish really is amazing and I’m so glad I went for it.
Bike was so easy to build.

A quick 5 minute test confirmed the bike is solid as a rock and as comfortable as you would ever hope for - the geometry is superb. To be able to climb straight onto a bike and feel instantly comfortable and at home says it all.

Ultegra 8170 is absolutely ridiculous. Silent to the point where I wasn’t even sure I changed gear and so fast across the range.

Weighed in around 7.35kg with pedals which is right on target.

Hope to get an hour out on it tomorrow so hopefully will be able to report back after that, but initial impressions are really, really positive.

Re: Thinkrider PP5 power meter claimed accuracy is just irrelevant, especially for this class of product

Re: Gas Cycle Nitrogen 6069 alloy budget road frameset Finished this build. Wheeltop EDS TX is a PITA to tune. I had to use the hacked Wheeltop web based app to do some proper fine tuning. Frame build comes out to 7.8kg with pedals, computer mount, bottle cages, power meter, etc. Still need to ride the bike since it's been raining for the last few days.

Yeah tough to tell from pictures if it's safe or not. Have a local shop or carbon repair shop make a judgement in person if you want to be sure.

Technically, the bearing should be fully supported on the chamfer, and therefore the 52 inner diameter being slightly oversized shouldn't matter from a functional point of view. Now if the chamfered part is oversized you'll indeed have preload problems.

If you can't get a 52mm bearing to fully seat, you could pop a 51.8 bearing in there to see if the chamfer is correct(fit full headset, fork, stem, add preload. No play = correct seating), and then make decision to either have it reamed or just use a 51.8 bearing.

You have a picture of the full frame? Curious how it looks. Also what's the fork axle to crown? That's some wild tire clearance you mentioned.

I can get the 52 mm in there, but I'd need to put in a fork with shorter head tube to be able to add preload or perhaps put on like 4 stems lol. I'll do that tonight actually.

Added some pictures, side view of the frame w/fork, bars, wheels (21 mm internal). GP 5000 25 mm, around 27.5 mm width as measured. Pictures of tyre clearance with 10 mm hex key for scale. Basically, there's >10 mm clearance around the ~28mm tyres. This frame makes the GP 5000s look like 21 mm's.

Axle to crown I'm honestly not completely sure how to measure accurately. See pictures. Roughly 365 - 6 mm (bottom of axle to bottom of crown measurement minus axle radius).

Hopefully the pictures make it obvious why I think it's a really cool frame. If, with preload, there is no play & the bearings turn smoothly, I'd probably be fine with a partial refund and accept possibly shorter bearing life. The fork scares me more, but I guess I could again see about that refund and just pick up a replacement fork with similar ATC and clearance.

EDIT: I was probably a bit too pessimistic about the headset bearing seat. Under preload spins freely and no play. Guess possibly shorter bearing life is the only real problem there.

Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame New aero road frame from lightcarbon is in the making.
35c tire clearance and a new riser integrated cockpit
Spotted in the Nero Cycling video from China Cycle show:

It's just a 3d printed prototype at the moment though

Re: Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame Oh man, I just bought LCR018-D and have like 5000km on it, amazing bike. This looks pretty much perfect for me, even geo looks good, I would like to se more bb drop, but that is just detail.
No I dont need another bike, no  ;D

Interesting stuff. Seat post fixture with 2 bolts.

That could actually be the problem: My original hanger was bent. Had some troubles while shifting (but only in the largest and the smallest ring). Replaced it and never had issues again. Forgot to mention that before, I had the problem in January...

Thanks, I have a new UDH coming this week, I hope that it will fix my issue.
