Anyone a link to plugs for the unused wholes in the frame if AXS is used, derailleur and front derailleur? Ordered two kinds, both don't fit, so a proven solution would really help me ... Thanks!

Didn't you get them with the frame from LC?

I’ve been riding for 20 years and thought I had a good grasp on my fit.
Tried myvelofit last week and it immediately said my saddle was 5cm too high  :o

It’s been a crazy shift in feeling - I’ve settled around 3cm lower at the minute….

Sorry for the question, but how did you manage to set the saddle 5 cm too high? If I do that, I wouldn't even be able to reach the pedal.
Even the simple check (heel on the pedal) wouldn't work in that case.

My concern with that is the double cost as I'll need another once the bike is built and funds are a little tight. Obviously buying the wrong frame is also more expensive. The 56 is quite a lot smaller which scares me!


Did you change the color of the frames in the comparisons?
In the first comparison, the bikes are aligned at the ground, and in the second comparison, they are aligned at the bottom bracket.

Finished my build last week and had a ride, WOW. I'm so in love with this build already. I'm coming from a 2015 endurance Pinarello and this feels SO much better. I received the frame early May, so I was hoping the new seat post grip and wedge would solve any slipping issues. It did not...took about 10k but slipped down. Other issue was the saddle rail bolts, max torque for the carbon rails was not nearly enough and it was tilting easily. Road side fix and I was able to do another 85k without issue tho. Some notes from my build in case others review this thread and take the advice posted along the way.

1. Park Tool BB 69.4 does NOT fit the CEMA ceramic BB LightCarbon offers. Standard Hollowtech II tool does however.
2. A titanium bolt was mentioned a few pages back for the seat post wedge. The bolt specified was too narrow for the wedge that came with my frame. Not sure if LC change the wedge or not...
3. This is me being a n00b, but the crown race is integrated into the fork. I was all worried it was missing from my kit.

The rest seemed all good for me. Brake mounts were clean and calipers went on straight and easy. BB shell was flawless and BB went in super easy. All in all just a fantastic frame.

Nice build! Which wheels are those?

my frame is done and painted.  i got photos of not my actual door, but the door i will get, which is indeed version3.  the door lever is now closed in the down position

Hopefully the new mechanism won't scratch the paint when it's used.

I assume that comes with the new door. It would be weird if they shipped a new door without the parts that need to be replaced.

Please let us know once you received the parts and replaced them.

This morning I received an email with the track and trace code for my  V3 version of the storage door from Wendy. I almost lost the door 3 times caused by the lever sliding down due to vibrations. My frame is from december 2025

Don't you also need the other insert for V3 which is shown in this post??

I asked Joy for a picture of the new cover mechanism - I added it in attachment.

Does anyone have detailed pictures or a full kit to judge how much you can shove in the storage?
I'm using two storage bags stuffed with:
- spare tube
- chain lube
- mini tool
- 2 tire levers
- some other small things

Hey! I should receive my frame tomorrow ! Quick question, when I will have to cut the fork, should I cut it 3mm under the top of the stem ?

Thanks
The instructions sent by LC state 4-5mm.

Leaning towards the LCR018 in this silver chrome to black gradient. Planning to pair it with Serenade 50mm wheels (1318g) and 105 Di2 when I find a good deal. This visual shows the goal. I’m aiming for a total weight around 8 kg. Do you think it’s realistic with this setup?

Yes. See my post above ... 8.05kg (framesize 520)

Things where I could easily still save weight:
  • lighter wheelset > -200g > next season, 50mm wheels (1100g)
  • tubeless > -200g > next season
  • cassette > 11-34 instead of 11-36 or using a light ztto cassette

Finished my build last sunday.

Shimno 105Di2
Elitewheels ENT 38mm

Weight: 8.05kg (low weight was not a priority) without, pedals, mounts, bartape

I didn't need the spacer.
