Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
« on: July 07, 2026, 07:33:34 AM »Oh really. Weight difference of 100+ grams. I was surprised and slightly sad that the frame weight was not really what was printed on their website.
The site give:
fork, 390g+-15g 28
frame 870g/52cm +-30g 58 850g/49cm 78
seatpost 160+-10g 17
handlerbar 300g 20
but is the same from 2024.

« on: July 07, 2026, 03:09:58 AM »Hi,
So its finally arrived and I spent 2 days building it up. The 49cm size, 20mm offset and 100mm x 380mm handlebar fits spot on.!
I took it out for an initial 45min ride and it felt nice. Smooth, responsive and agile enough. I will take it out during the week for a much longer ride and see how it goes.
Frame weight 928grams, seat post 187grams, handlerbar 320grams, fork 418grams. With everything installed it weighs 8.1kg. But I can get it lower if I swap out to nicer carbon wheelset.
I don't know if it was due to frame problems or UCI certification but probably LC reinforced the frame my wheight for Size 52 frame purchased at the end of 2024 is :
Frame weight 844grams, seat post 150grams, handelbar 352grams, fork 383grams only the handelbar it's heavier because is the previous version.
1853 the new size 49 vs 1729 the old size 52
?

« on: May 27, 2026, 11:38:59 AM »Based on your height, I would recommend a size 52 and probably a 0-degree seatpost (to be confirmed depending on your riding style).
Are you sure ?
this is a 52 with 0 offset and 100 mm
my measurements are 165 cm with a tall torso and short legs I pedal to 64,5 cm

« on: March 25, 2026, 04:22:39 PM »Resurrecting this thread for the 2026 season! I’ve been reading through all the feedback from last September regarding the LCR017-D. Now that some of you have a few thousand kilometers on the frame, how is the long-term reliability holding up? Any issues with the headset or the seatpost clamp?
With my LCR017D I have done more than 10K km and the only problems I had were due to my mistakes in assembling the gear cable housings (mechanical SRAM RED 22 groupset) the headset ant the seatpost clamp is OK

The accurancy is less than 2%.
For me it's quite reliable, no significant losses have occurred, as soon as meteo permits I'll test it on the road, for 288 Euros and 610 g it seems like a great purchase to me.

LightCarbon is good, if you want a short name LCB (Light Carbon Bike)but you already have the PROX brand why not PROX Bike

« on: August 14, 2025, 01:55:20 AM »BTW is there anyone here who is 176cm and chose the size 54 frame? I am trying to decide if I'll choose 52 or 54.
I'm only 165cm but with very short legs and a long torso, the 52 with 0 offset seat post and 100mm stem is perfect

« on: April 08, 2025, 06:56:45 AM »Thanks for the photo. So the "Sram cable stop" is located just below the frame's cable plug, right?
Does the cable stop attach securely to the plug?
The plug I have doesn’t seem to hold the cable stop—it’s either too thick or too thin for the hole in the plug.
So I was wondering if I need to glue in a thinner one with something like epoxy to keep it in place.
(Attached photo is the cable plug. Because I'm not exactly sure if that's the right term for it)
I used a Cable housing of 4mm and his cap inserted in the "Sram cable stop", inserted the cable and tightened the small Allen screw .

Hi, I'm assembling a Force 22 HydroR groupset, but I've hit a snag while installing the front derailleur. How far did you run the cable housing?
I noticed that I can't mount a cable stop at the cable hole under the downtube, so I'm thinking of running the housing all the way to the front derailleur. But it seems like the housing might be rubbing against the derailleur if I do that.
Do you have any advice?
Hi in mine Red22 HydroR I use the "Sram Cable Stop"

My clamps were a little tight and I was having trouble securing the saddle with the 7x9 rails, I solved this by slightly filing the seat of the rails
