Do you mean Light Bicycle wheels? If so, did you get them hookless, and how was the fit of the GP5000 tubeless tires? I ask because some bike brands claim these tires do not yet conform to the ETRTO standard for hookless rims, and thus are not compatible with their wheels.
Hi,
Yes it is Light bicycle Falcon wheels with 36mm depth and 25-28 width. I choose the hook version as regarding the pressure chart on their website and my weight, hookless was not compatible. The 28mm GP5000 fitted quite easily (far more than the 25 on my old alu mavic) with a little help of a plastic lever at the end. Pressure is very stable with few liquid in it.
perhaps 30 or 32 mm tyres could fit on hookless with less pressure. LB has also a 32mm width range of rims that is perfect if you want to ride wider tyres than me. I feel the 2 very comfortable, even on rough roads in French countryside and mountain passes.

QuoteThe bike looks great! It looks very well suited for those long endurance rides. Is that 32c tires you have mounted on the picture?
No, the bike is now equipped with 28mm width LB wheels with 28mm GP5000 in tubeless version. It rides fast, light, safely, and really comfortably.

Hi Zdrenka89, the picture you've shared is from me. I ride that bike for nearly 4000km since last december. I received the LB wheels in January. The bike with those carbon wheels is very good to my opinion. I am not a "light" rider, so I need a strong setup for long rides (oftenly >200km), and so far, I am very happy with that bike.

I don't remember to have any problem with that. I will have a look on it in few days, because I plan to change the headset for a better look.

Hello,  a picture of the assembly beginning. Unfortunately, the wheels will take one more month to come due to transport issues. So I buy a set of nearly new mavic I have mount with 32mm Hutchinson Sector tyres for winter ans hard conditions.
I will try to make a more complete set of pictures.

I have done the same, I entered my dimensions (height 188cm, inseam 89cm) on a manufacturer website and see which size was recommanded. Then I chose the right size. 58 is perhaps a bit to large for me but will be more comfortable for long rides. For you Uluvas, 56 should be better, but I am not an ergonomy specialist.

Hi, as far as I know, the frame left China last week and it would take between 10 and 35 days to be in France.
I also ordered some wheels from Light Bicycle with DT240EXP  hubs. The groupset will be an Ultegra R 8020.
I  bought a cyrano R1 handlebar and I expect the complete bike  to be around 7.5kg. I will post some photos of the components and the assembly.

Hi Uluvas,
The frame cost me 668€ including paint job (~115€) shipment and Alibaba fees. The best for you is to have an quote from Adam.

Cables are not fully integrated on this frame, so the headset is not exactly this one but the same from  FSA with a circular standard top part. It should arrive with one.
For the rest I will install fizik cyrano R1 periph, and Light Bycicle wheels with dt240exp hubs.

Hard to say. I ordered beginning of septembre and just received the photo as Adam just came black from 2wks holyday. Now this is shipment time... let see  and I will tell you my experience for the whole process.

Hello,
I finally receive a photo of my painted frame which is nearly leaving China.
I order the frame and fork as they are on the website, as I don't need inserts for rack mount.
Now waiting for the delivery to start mounting and riding.

 Hello, my name is Vincent and I am from France. I have  just ordered  this frame size 58.
The plan is to make a light endurance road bike. I'll give you update soon.
