Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Hi everyone, I'm considering buying the LCR017 but still uncertain about the color, has anyone seen what white chameleon looks like in real life ? (Chameleon 7207 on Lightcarbon website) Same advice as dinorello. Get a chameleon color because of the clear coat and better paint protection because of that. I've not seen the chameleon white yet.

I haven't seen the color in person, but there's a video on YouTube showing the color LCB 7207; June 09, 2024, 12:18:08 AM |

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
I've just assembled mine, it's the nicest Chinese frame I've had. Previously had a 3T Exporo clone and Longteng LTK118. No major issues with the build or running the cables. No rear mech hanger in the box but they sent one out quickly. Size M, haven't cut down the steerer yet. I'm 181cm with a 74cm BB to saddle height and relatively short legs. 85cm inseam. All my previous bikes are 56cm and this looks a good fit. I got the Hygge Shun wheels too, in F50 R60mm. The freehub is offensivley loud if thats your thing! Everything from Aliexpress except the 28mm GP5000s and sealant. Ultegra DI2 shifting and brakes. XT rotors Leese carbon cranks 52-36. The chainline is a bit funky and I haven't worked this out yet. As a workaround I've spaced out the FD mount with washers. Zitto 11-32 cassette Cheapo saddle. 7.4kg as is with the Assiomas. Quick test ride today as I'm getting over flu - feels great, not too harsh at all, low 60s psi will do that! Very impressed so far, paint is really nice. July 11, 2024, 09:37:02 PM |

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
estingo.......where can that frame be purchased and did you get it painted or does it come that way if you pick a certain paint scheme ? Stickers from ? I've purchased it on Aliexpress (store: taiwan factory bike parts Store - model New Model Fasterway Ostro) and I could choose between any factor color scheme (painted or the stickers are under the paint), I doubted the one without any paint or just the clear paint that you could see the carbon layers. I know a lot of people here don't like replicas or placing a brand name on a copied frame, but in the end, I still did it, because I liked it (sorry). I doubted also the long ten that Serge-K has, but I believe the rear is still a bit different, I think the rear tubes are a bit smaller in diameter than the long ten, but that opinion is just based on pictures that I saw so I don't know for sure + there is not a big price difference between those frames. I considered basically a lot of frames, like everyone does. I checked all bike sizes and geometries and my personal preference in looks and this was, what came out. Thanks for your feedback. What is the quality of the frame ? (Paint, faced caliper, inside carbon,...) Difficult to say, it's my first build and I watched a lot of comments and threads here and YouTube clips from various builders/YouTubers. For my liking is the paint job very well done, I was expecting worse, to be honest. The placement of the calipers is fine for what I have and fits perfectly so that should be fine too. And I don't have a small camera to look into the bike so I have no idea what it in looks like inside other than the BB part. For me the BB threads look good too, if I compare them to some clips that I saw from Hambini's YouTube channel, so overall I'm quite pleased. The handlebar is a copy of black inc. and I need to sand it a bit, the inside of the stem where the wires enter that it's not too sharp but I have the feeling everyone is doing this. In the end, I think it was carbon T1000 UD instead of T1100 but okay good enough for me, I'm just an amateur, no pro by any means, so I also think I won't break the d-shaped tube from the front fork. I won't generate that much force I'm afraid, so I do not foresee any problems but I will let you know, once it's finished and I actually drove a decent amount of km or miles.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
Hi everyone, I'm currently building the hygge up and I noticed an there are no cable stoppers with the frame. I asked Hygge to include grommets before shopping. August 10, 2024, 10:47:25 AM |
