Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
My German video for the build-up and a quick review is online  Learned something again with this build-up. BB was the biggest hurdle for me, because the specified 40Nm are impossible for me to apply with just that adapter + wrench, as this whole thing will slip much much sooner (maybe 15-20Nmish). Let's see if it will come loose, but for now there are no creaks and the carbon sound at 30kph is wonderful. I did order theirs (GINEYEA Brand) and I am not impressed by the quality, since the inner drive side was slightly below the required diameter and thus rendered useless. I bought a SRAM Dub T47 (non wide) for approx. 45 EUR to use with my SRAM Force E1 Groupset. Just know, that you need to have the 52mm 16 Tooth nut to tighten the SRAM one, it took me another 2 days until I could finish my build because of that. Other than that, quality-wise the BB fits perfectly now, no complaints. I did two quick runs so far with the completed bike and I am quite happy. I like it better than my Canyon Inflite CF SL 6 which this is now the replacement for, after an accident with frame damage on the canyon. It's sad to hear the BB which you can order is crap, at least the SRAM one. Wendy did not suggest me that BB to buy, so I didn't thought about it, and regret it first when I read earlier in this thread that you can order one. But now, maybe that's a better way. Too bad all T47 seem to have so many different adapter options and wrenches. October 25, 2025, 04:05:40 PM |

pics with the chameleon paint? Frame is currently on it's way. Here's a screenshot from the video I got from Jim. The lightning setup in the room doesn't do justice to the paint color IMO.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
My frame arrived, it was perfectly packaged, and everything was in perfect condition. Everything is exactly as I ordered, with a significantly higher quality finish and, above all, a superior paint job. It's difficult to photograph and looks even better and very elegant in person. It's not exactly lightweight... with the paint job, 56cm frame, and storage compartment, it weighs 1190g. But that's fine by me. The fork weighs 460g, the handlebars 315g (380/100), and the seatpost 180g. I'm very excited to see how the finished build looks. I would have found assembly instructions for, say, the headset helpful. Wendy doesn't offer anything like that. Otherwise, as I mentioned before, I had a pleasant and professional exchange with her. Incidentally, I specifically requested photos after completion. The storage compartment is fantastic; it's easy to use and very secure. From my current perspective, I wholeheartedly recommend a Lightcarbon frame! December 30, 2025, 03:26:53 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
I finished my build last night. Size 58 with SRAM Force E1 and 9Velo LV Wide wheels with 32mm GP5000 S TR. I am 185cm tall with a 86cm inseam and I was torn between size 56 and 58, but I compared the geometry with my current bike and the size 58 with a 120mm stem matched the closest. I've been fitted in the past on my old bike and I am quite happy with the fit. I am running 2x 10mm spacers on the new bike, so I have room to lower the bars in the future if need be. I don't have a proper hanging scale, but I estimated about 18lbs total with a bathroom scale. I inspected the frame with a borescope before I built it up and it looked very clean. I'm happy with the paint as well, it is a variation on the Eurobike paint scheme with the marble red paint and matte black. This was my first full build from the frame up and it went smoothly. The brake hose routing was a little tedious, but it wasn't too bad. I just used a small pick to guide the hose through the fork and bars. The brake mounts and bottom bracket areas were super clean and I didn't have any alignment issues at all. Like others have said, the saddle clamp is a little fiddly, but I added some carbon paste to the clamp and it seems to be holding just fine. I haven't had the daylight to go for a real ride yet, but the quick spin around the block was promising. This is my first new bike since riding my 2014 CAAD 10 rim brake bike for the last decade+, so I'm sure it will be a massive upgrade for me. January 09, 2026, 09:42:39 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
A few pages back we saw the number for headtube and BB stiffness. Interesting. I’m taking a few things away from this: 1. Cannondale is using Nm/deg for head tube stiffness and N/mm for BB stiffness -> they’re testing torsional stiffness at the head tube and lateral stiffness at the bottom bracket. 2. The significant difference in absolute values compared to LC strongly suggests that Cannondale is using a different testing protocol, especially for the BB. The head tube test could be similar, but without fixture details we can’t be sure. Given that the Cannondale frame is quite a bit lighter, lower stiffness values would not be unexpected. 3. We still don’t really know what the LC values are telling us, since the unit of measure and test definition are not known. February 18, 2026, 03:06:18 AM |
