Thanks to your advice, I did check a bit more the clearance between the thrue axle and the end cap.
I took the same thrue axle to compare the clearance between : the XMCS front wheel, the XMCS rear wheel & a winspace front wheel.
There is definitly much more clearance in the XMCS front wheel than on the XMCS rear wheel orwinspace front wheel.
I will contact Peter and I'll let you know how

I did check the wheel cap inner diameter and it seems similar to the rear wheel.
The additionnal clearance is due to the front wheel "tube" being oversized vs the rear wheel one (see pictures).

Thank you so much for your reply.
Do you know which dimension was out of spec ?

I had the same but on farsports wheels. The noise is getting worse the more kms you ride.
Together with my LBS we identified the wheel caps and hubs slightly out of spec causing this. Farsports replaced the wheel caps and it solved the matter.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Did you realign the caliper? When I swap wheelsets I have to do this because of slight differences in the hub tolerances that move the discs slightly.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes I did it but no improvement.

I did purchase and receive few weeks ago some 50 deep with 26IW with CX ray spokes with R248 hub in UD paintless.
They weight 1250g and feel very light on the bike.
Unfortunately, since I mounted this new wheels I'm experiencing a problem with my front brake (Ultegra 8170Di2 on a Lightcarbon LCR018 frame).
My front brake is sometime making a loud metallic noise while braking (not necessary on strong braking). This never happen before mounting these new wheels.
What is also strange is that it's sporadic : on some ride, I don't have noise for 2 first hours and then it start.
I did few trials to identify the origine of this noise and it seems to be related with the front wheel.
When I put back my old wheel (reinstalling the same disk) I have no problem.
I did try to install a new disk and new pads without solving the issue.
I did also try to use new resin pad (instead of metallic pad) + other disc without resolving the issue.
The disk is tightened with a torquewrench at the right torque (40Nm).
Do any of you experience this issue ?
I don’t really understand what could cause this : do you have an idea ?
I will also continue to try making other test (maybe test them on my other bike).
I'm not feeling vibration while I'm braking but the noise is realy not nice and I'm not confident going downhill with this phenomenon.

My Cycplus is about 50mm deep.

The AS2 ultra Cycplus pump can be stored into the storage compartment.

Finished the assembly on my frame without any issue  ;D

First ride yesterday and got  issues that were discussed on this forum.
Integrated storage door that tend to open (as I was aware I did check regularly to not loose it during the ride).
After the ride I noticed that the small screw of the closing mechanism needed to be retightened. If this occur again I will add some threadlocker on it.
By safety I add a strap to maintain the door in case of problem : once the issue will be solved, I'll remove it.
I also have the saddle tilt and don't find a way to use my torquewrench to ensure the 16Nm. I tried to tighten it as strong as I can and will see.

First ride impression need to be confirmed with the right tire (I have ordered some 32 mm) : I installed temporarily some 28 mm tires but have some 32 mm in order (on my previous bike I have some 32 mm so of course the confort is not the same).
Anyway I noticed that I was much more confident with this bike in the downhill.
Still a big fan of the raw carbon glossy finish

Finally received my size 56 frame in raw carbon  ;D.

Put it on the scale and not on the light side but not a big issue for me :
Frame size 56 with the front derailleur mount + storage door 1209g
Fork 424g
Handlebar 306g (90 length - 400 wide)
0 offset seatpost 193g

Big fan of the glossy raw carbon finish.

Started to mount it but I noticed that the rear axle doesn't screw freely as it should be : I mean I can't turn it easily by hand (for the front axle I don't have the issue).
I can for sure screw it with an allen key (but I can feel a little resistance).
When I remove the UDH hanger to screw the axle outside of the bike I can screw it by hand without problem.
I assume there should be a small misalignment between the holes in the frame (where the front axle goes) that may explain that.

Does somebody noticed this ?
Do you think this is an issue or nothing to be worried about ?

Got a message that my size 56 with glossy raw carbon ordered end of November was finally shipped (originally was supposed to arrive end of January).

Ordered mine in size 56 (payment the 28th november) and no information yet
