Re: Experience with cyclegears.net? I have just received my package et here is my review :

In one word : Perfect.

They answered to all my questions and if they are offline, I used their chat and they replied quickly after being online.

The package was very well protected (picture) and they sent quickly the package. Delivery was also smooth.

Inside the box, all components were well protected. The Di2 battery is from january 2025 so very recent. It is also a very good thing.

I strongly recommand CycleGears, you will not be disappointed.

Feel free to ask me anything :).

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Clarification of some issues regarding the LCR018-D frame set,
1, the seat post have two options: 0mm offset and 15mm offset,
The second option was originally designed with a 20mm offset, but after testing, we found a 15mm offset to be more stable, so that's the final version.
The default offset for the seatpost is 0mm, as the 15mm seatpost is still in production.
2. about the max chainring
a. If use Shimano crankset, max 2x chainring 54-40T, max 1x chainring 42T (smaller ones are all fine).
b. If use Sram crankset, max 2x chainring 56-43T, max 1x chainring 54T (smaller ones are all fine).
if install the chainring Sram 56-43T with CL 45mm, there is a space width 5.8mm to the frame, it's enough,
if 1X 54T, the space is 7.8mm,
check the attached photos.
If you have more questions, please leave a message or contact your sales representative, or contact jim@Lightcarbon.com

Has anybody tested it with SRAM XPLR 13-speed 10-46 yet? The last thing I read was that it uses something called 'UDH Mini,' which I had never heard of before.
the mini UDH hanger, It's actually a lightweight version of the UDH hanger. It's smaller and lighter than a regular UDH hanger, but it performs the same function as a regular UDH hanger.
You can install a regular UDH hanger, or remove the UDH hanger and install the T-type.

Re: LightCarbon Gravel LCG074-D Micro Suspension Pivot Design Ok, I haven't taken the time yet to take proper pictures, but these are the first ones I took after I unpacked the frame.

Can add better ones later. The inside of the frame (bottom bracket and headset area) looks really clean.

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

Woke up this morning to some great news - Carol has emailed to say my 54 frameset is on the way.

A slight hiccup in that she said DPD customs paid is not available to N.Ireland, so she has suggested UPS with a low declared value.
I dont really have much option other than to agree, so fingers crossed all goes ok.

She sent me one quick photo to show everything - all looks really good (I wish they took high quality photos of the frame finish!), but overall I can't wait to get it here and get building.
I'll take some high quality photos when it arrives and ive also just got a little endoscope, so will be able to take some internal shots to check everything out.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Couldn't resist ripping it all open to get a quick look - the raw carbon finish has exceeded my expectations, its beautiful!
Hard to photograph the effect, but took a few snaps to try and show it off.
The frame looks to be finished to a very high standard - and I love the little storage door!
One tiny point is the decals are on top of the lacquer, I would have preferred beneath for a lovely smooth finish and no chance of getting them damaged, but its only a small point.
Overall im delifghted and can't wait to get it built up.

Since some of us went with the Chrome/Black color and were curious about how it might turn out, I found a few pics of a different bike frame to give an idea.

Seka Chrome is more darker? So difficult to see

Thats correct the seka spear has a more greyish chrome colour whereas LC is more traditional silver-chrome. The only have silver and blue chrome available as far as i know.

Here are more real world pics of the colour scheme.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Just heard back from Carol regarding the computer mount as I enquired about the titanium one and if there will be a shorter one.
The titanium one is a bit shorter, which is better for my small Garmin.

She said it will cost $35 - I'd love to order one.
Its in development and have just emailed back to see when it would be ready to order.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) This is the first part of my review because I haven't used it yet.

1) Before ordering

Light Carbon answered all my questions via WhatsApp very quickly. Their communication is very good.

2) Shipping time

Since the frame was at the beginning of production, I placed the order on August 25th. The frame was shipped on September 28th and I received it on October 15th. No tracking information until October 13th, when it arrived in Europe. This is completely normal for this type of shipment.

3) Box

The box is very good quality and solid, and the frame was very well packaged.

4) Frame quality

The frame is simply magnificent:
Raw matte carbon color without any flaws. I love to see all the different lay-up.
Bottom bracket very easy to screw in by hand. Everything is well aligned (calipers and bottom bracket shell).
 It only took me 2 minutes to align the discs.

The inside of the frame is perfect, without any defects.

The bearings fit perfectly into the frame.

The bottle cage screws have threadlocker on them.

The handlebar seems very stiff.

Honestly, this is by far the best frame finish I have ever seen.

I repeat, I have not used it yet.

5) The build

Everything was so smooth. No problem at all.

6) Negative point

The only negative point concerns the saddle rail clamp. The clamping screw is very close to the seatpost, and if you don't have a very thin socket, it's not possible to tighten it. I would have liked the screw to be more off-center.

7) Conclusion

I strongly recommend this frame because it looks truly exceptional. I'm really looking forward to testing it to confirm this good impression.

I will definitely do a Part 2.
