Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) well, here is a first picture of mine... still got work to do (bar tape, road bike pedals, some lighter rims etc ... ).

until now:

frame size 52
color: carbon raw matt
tires: specialized mondo 35
TPU rideNow tubes
sram force breaks
Galfer discs 160mm
sram red cranks 165mm
48t garbaruk chain ring
10-50 cassette
sram axs GX (hehe...)
ryet carbon saddle from AliExpress

still 7,8kg with DMR V12 pedals (430gr) and kinda heavy 50mm rims from Airwolf bikes (about 1540gr)

(still recovering from ACL surgery, that's why I cannot ride SPD SL pedals :-/ )

The rear brake hose is routed above the bottom bracket? Or do you push it below the bottom bracket?

For the LCR018 i went above. using BB cup & jagwire housing damper.

LC also recommends so, per their website.

have fun building  ;D

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Aerodurance I did not torque it to a specific torque just by feel and to my perfectly calibrated hand :) it felt like maybe 7-8N-m.
I did put however a bit of carbon paste between aluminium lower saddle clamp and carbon seatpost and absolutely no problems so far.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I am absolutely loving this build. Fantastic frame and bars from LC.

@ All
Take a closer look on the HBR17 vs the HBR14 handlebars.
HBR17 looks a bit  :o in real world. If HBR14 was standard, i guess no one would take the HBR17 voluntarily

personal preference re: looks.  the HBR14 is the older “look” for sure. not sure how many of the newer riser bars you’ve seen but handlebars are going through a bit of an evolution right now.

the HBR17 is lighter, using some of the fancier M40 carbon fiber and titanium stem bolts, while still being plenty stiff.  and in terms of fit, has a slight rise and slightly greater flare in the drops.  so yeah, i think i would’ve still picked the HBR17 over the HBR14 given a choice

Hi there,
What is the main difference between 02HS and 13HS?

Factory samples are inconsistent so it's really hard to decide. I've seen so many examples of these colours but without reference to each other it's also hard to evaluate what is what.

Maybe you've done better research or had experience with both? Please provide some tips and thoughts about those colours.

Thank you!
Hello I have a frame in the 02HS colorway its is a wine purple color in some lighting in other lighting it is almost copper orangish or so. I am not the best at description of colors, their is even a green tone to the chameleon shifting of the paint or so one of my family members said so I slightly see it in the right lighting.? Here are some photos of the bike in some different lighting. I am very happy with the 02HS color.

Re: Through axle

Someone recently mentioned the through axles and that they are custom. Do you know whether I will be able to fit the Tailfin Universal Thru Axle? It works with different threads thanks to 2 parts. May there be anything stopping me from fitting it?

The issue could be that the axle won't fit perfectly, because it is flush on the non drive side (see picture on the upper right side). The spacer which is included with the tailfin axle could fit or you find another one that fits. My Ortlieb trough axle for the ortlieb quick rack did not fit for example.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) And maybe someone could help with a 3d print. I am lacking the technical finesse to figure out how to make the correct measurements, but I know there are people out there to help :). If I have an update on that, I will provide you with the files for the print.

I would probably still choose the HBR17. Looks sleeker and nicer than a standard looking HBR14.
