Can someone convince me why it would be a terrible idea to use this frame for the tour divide 2026?! Ive been hunting for something that can handle 2.2” tires and build it myself. Im a fan of the Ari Shafer 3.0 but this seems interesting.

I haven't heard about a new clamp - has this been confirmed?
They already have an upgraded v2 seatpost, but ive never heard the clamp mentioned until now.

I have built 2 lcr018 frames now after a big crash on my first frame. My second frame came with this updated seatpost clamp 3 weeks ago, just like in the picture and is definitely different and has more bite to it. I never had problems with slip on my first frame after putting carbon paste on the smooth surfaces of the top and bottom portions of the seatpost clamp which touch the middle portion. Also dont put too much carbon fiber paste on your seatpost - less is more. I weigh 90kg.

I made my order in early November and received the frame on January 3rd in size 58. The build went really well and I really cant nitpick anything. I replaced the headset bearings with Enduro stainless steel bearings and went for a Wheels MFG bb. The wheels are Elite Pro 2.0 with a 24mm inner width, and I currently have 32mm GP5000s. I put Ultegra Di2 groupset on it with 11-34T cassette, 170MM cranks, 50-34T chainring. Thanks everyone for all the posts and info along the way.
