Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
cool project. i love the idea given, generally, i prefer having the option to swap stems/bars more easily. i did wonder if fsa acr standard stems would work on the LCR018D.
i haven't done it (liking the HBR17 and sizing worked out). but i'd ask LC if they make headset covers that pair up with fsa acr or deda's stems. if not, see if someone online has created a 3D print file for such a cover/spacer.
the deda 56 might work given the LCR's headset bearings are size 52 but you'd have to take a caliper to the LCR to confirm it wouldn't rub the frame.
Hello,
Bit of a noob question.
I do not want to use the HBR17 integrated handlebars on my build. But rather a 3rd party 2 piece bar+stem combo, if possible with full integration.
1- Anyone has done that? What stem would you recommend for that?
2-Should I:
A) Ask for the HBR17 top covers and spacers and then find a stem that fits on top
or B) Get a stem with a top cover that will work with the lcr018D frame.
I was looking at the deda superbox V2 for example, it ships with 46mm and 56mm top covers.
Would that work as option B (preferably) or A? (I tired to attach a picture)
Thank you

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
Finally finished my LCR018 in black and silver tones.
Components:
• Frame in size 54 raw carbon glossy finish with inframe storage
• HBR17 handlebar (400 * 100 mm)
• Serenade wheels, Model TAR50WS (25 mm inner 31 outer), 50 mm deep, SR278C Hubs
• 30 mm Michelin MICHELIN Pro 5 with TPU tubes
• 105 di2 groupset, 11-34 T 12 speed cassette, direct mount for rear derailleur
• Basic Gineyea BB
• Magene TEO with 170 mm carbon crank arm and Passquest 50-34 T
• 160 mm VXM rotor in front, 140 mm in the back
• Cheap bottle holder (that I might change because it hinders the opening mechanism of the storage door), cheap bar tape and cheap rear lamp all from aliexpress
• Ryet 3D saddle
• Onirii carbon pedals
Build was quite straight forward nothing too complicated. I did use foam sleeve tubes for the brake hose.
8.5 kg as pictured (with pedals, wahoo and all my repair kit in the frame).
I did a small test ride. There is a small rattle sound but I feel it comes from the inner storage, I need to investigate. No seatpost or saddle slippage (I did put anti slip carbon grease though). My only complaints is the saddle bolts that are so difficult to tighten and the gap between the frame and the first spacer. That glossy finish is also quite fragile I already have some scratches due to chain drops or small shocks when building the bike. Finally I might redo the bleeding on my Shimano brakes because I feel the feeling can be improved.
I might change for a lighter cassette and also the saddle but other than that it is pretty much spot on.
This looks so good you have convinced me to get this for my next frame in chameleon purple/green
I am just a little bummed about the weight of these builds. I am hoping to stay under 7.5 kg with 2x, an electronic groupset and 32c tires. Will def have to be picky with stuff like bars, saddle, cranks/cassettes etc....
