Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
After reading every post in this thread and falling in love with some of your bikes, I decided to order this frame two weeks ago. But now you're making me doubt—will I receive a bad frame just because I ordered it before the Hambini video and didn't specify the code? What would make you think that? People overreact on this topic. Hambini just tried to explain bis understanding. September 23, 2024, 06:43:33 AM |

But now you're making me doubt—will I receive a bad frame just because I ordered it before the Hambini video and didn't specify the code? In my communication with Lightcarbon i addressed this topic. Their reply was: "No problem, we can get you the frame with Quality standard Z3 (actually this model are all produced in Quality standard Z3, what Hambini got is just a regular one from our mass production)." Looks like there was no special treatment for Hambini, which however doesn't mean that issues with QC can't still happen ... September 23, 2024, 06:47:38 AM |

Re: Short-travel XC frame
What do you call short travel? The Spp cycle Oiz is pretty light weight and the Oiz is recognized a as being a good plateform I think

Re: Short-travel XC frame
The only one I have come across under 100mm of frame travel is the new light carbon 980.

Re: Short-travel XC frame
Yep, it’s the Lightcarbon 980. I kind of like it, but the cable integration is awful, and I haven’t read great feedback about it in its own thread. Same as Seraph FM080 The main issue was the threading in the BB was poor, representative from the company was made aware so hopefully they do further checks on that. It's also being sold by a Brand called Trinx, their rider in the UCI WC U23 women is currently in 2nd place which I find interesting.  October 15, 2024, 08:41:36 AM |

Re: Short-travel XC frame
Airwolf YFM059. Similar to the lightcarbon but without the stupid cable routing. It's available on aliexpress for $650-750. There are other names the frame is sold under too, such as AWST. Here's the big thread on it: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3843.0.html There were some issues early on but seems like all the ones within the past 6 months have resolved them. I think the biggest standing complaint now is the cable routing near the bottom bracket. I cannot speak personally to it however. I am in the same boat as you wanting a short travel XC frame. So far this is the one that has my eye. October 17, 2024, 01:52:15 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Looking at maybe starting a build with this frame, have many gotten it yet? What is the "cheese" incident it refers to the frame tiagosantos_ss received (here's his post including two pictures https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4309.msg65396.html#msg65396), and the quality issues. It had a couple of voids in the upper seat tube area. There was some back and forth with Lightcarbon but they ultimately agreed to send out a new frame to tiagosantos_ss. I have put my order in a couple of weeks ago and i'm looking forward to receiving the frame early November. I hope, of course, that my frame will not show those kind, or any kind really, of QC issues. October 22, 2024, 03:31:57 AM |
