Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

Hello Community
Here is my finished build of the LCR017-D

Please consider using different logos, it's pretty cringe (and illegal in lots of jurisdictions) to ride fakes. My bike looks like a Factor and i made Tractor decals, it's my way of trolling Factor. But putting Factor logos would just be cringe.
Light carbon makes good frames, there's no shame in riding one, but it doesn't make it a cannondale.
Nice build though, let us know how it rides & holds up over time!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) The actual tire width is 33.6mm. There’s 4mm of clearance on each side remaining near the BB side, where the clearance is the narrowest.

Re: Looking for balanced carbon frameset (sporty but not too aggressive) Velobuild 177 is a good option

Re: Looking for balanced carbon frameset (sporty but not too aggressive) Hello,

The Rinasclta Granite in L size looks perfect for your needs  ;)

The same by Airwolf is the YFR066

And with a 27.2mm seatpost and good reputation, there is the Carbonda 1136 (with longer steam for the reach)

I don't own these particular frames, but I do have a Lightcarbon gravel and a VB-268. Contrary to what some might believe, the VB frame is of noticeably higher quality in every aspect. However, I wouldn't recommend building it with a mechanical groupset, especially if you're using an integrated cockpit. It's possible, but it can be a major hassle. You'll likely end up with less precise shifting and other issues like tight or unbalanced steering.

I also have the vbr 268 with mechanical r7020 groupset. I spent around 1h to trace housings properly (maybe 2 times to correct everything) and all works smooth without any problems with steering. Also that was my first time with internal cable routing.

Re: Velobuild vs Lightweight Carbon? Lightcarbon one here with 105 7020. Build was easy. But of course, it's always annoying to route 4 cables on an integrated hb. But will be on LC or any other brand. And honestly LC has quite some good finishing at least from my experience

Re: Velobuild vs Lightweight Carbon? FSA no69 headset system.

Allows you to run the cables through the plastic headset cover, through the bearings, and into the headtube. Intended to be ran with a separate handlebar and stem combo. For mechanical shifting groupsets I would not use any other system.

Ran this setup on my Velobuild 177 last year
