Re: Lightcarbon LCG071-D Build
I also decided to pick this frame after seeing posts here and videos on Youtube. I just finished painting it yesterday and hopefully get it built up tomorrow after the clearcoat cures some more. Excited to ride it! First time buying and building with a Chinese frame. May 26, 2023, 02:01:28 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon LCG071-D Build
I also just placed my order for this frameset. Beautiful color. Thanks. The build went okay. I'll get some proper pictures soon. The handlebar cable routing was pretty challenging, I have an issue that the cable/brake hose pulls the steering slightly to the right. And yes, the seatpost clamp is a bit finicky, you have to position it just right before you insert the seatpost, but once the seatpost is in it's not a problem. I July 11, 2023, 04:02:38 AM |

Nope, you can see on the pictures that there is a small foam rubber lip around the inside edge of the door and it's pretty thigh with it. What page was this on Bender? Curious, as ive just been looking at my storage door, and I think that is what is indeed causing the rattle I am having. There is a small bit of foam on the bottom of the door, but nothing at the top which is where I assume the rattling is happening. I wonder have they added more in recent builds? I will have to find a suitably thin layer of something to cut and try on the top edge to see if it makes a difference. Mine had been quiet for the first 3 weeks, but now is rattling to an annoying level on anything other than smooth road. Tried tightening the mechanism but that didn't help.

Please see the image below. The red line indicates where the metal part of the cover contacts the metal on the door frame. We usually attach sound insulation cotton to this area. Please check if it is missing or damaged. You can use new sound insulation cotton or thin tape with foam to attach it. Please note that the adhesive layer should not be too thick, otherwise it may damage the handle of the cover. Jim Lee--LightCarbon November 27, 2025, 07:50:13 PM |

In addition, some buyers have previously reported problems with the the locker of the cover. Please note that you should not use excessive force when locking the cover; be sure to operate it correctly. Otherwise, you may damage the locking mechanism.

If you don't mind me asking how is the fitment on the storage door? I'm still indecisive if is worth going with the storage or not. Thanks. My storage compartment door fits perfectly and I'm really glad I chose this option 👌 December 03, 2025, 12:55:45 PM |

Here are the first pics from Wendy. My 56er frame is ready for take off to Germany. The colours are not really easy to take good pictures...but it's a first impression. December 03, 2025, 03:13:46 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
Received my frame today. Box was beaten up but LC did a good job in wrapping it up. OFC did a unboxing video just in case. Weights of 58 painted: Fork (uncut): 439g Frame: 1134g Axle front: 27g Axle rear: 37g Seatpost: 184g Cockpit (420x110):342g Expander: 39g Full Headset & Spacers: 105g UDH Dropout: 18g Computer + Lamp Mount: 24g Made some quick shots at daylight. The color is incredibly hard to capture, but there are tiny little lightpurple sparkles on the offwhite base - looks super good in sunlight. Hopefully I can start building the bike on sunday.
