In addition, some buyers have previously reported problems with the the locker of the cover. Please note that you should not use excessive force when locking the cover; be sure to operate it correctly. Otherwise, you may damage the locking mechanism.

Please see the image below. The red line indicates where the metal part of the cover contacts the metal on the door frame. We usually attach sound insulation cotton to this area. Please check if it is missing or damaged. You can use new sound insulation cotton or thin tape with foam to attach it. Please note that the adhesive layer should not be too thick, otherwise it may damage the handle of the cover.

Has anybody tested it with SRAM XPLR 13-speed 10-46 yet? The last thing I read was that it uses something called 'UDH Mini,' which I had never heard of before.

the mini UDH hanger, It's actually a lightweight version of the UDH hanger. It's smaller and lighter than a regular UDH hanger, but it performs the same function as a regular UDH hanger.
You can install a regular UDH hanger, or remove the UDH hanger and install the T-type.

Clarification of some issues regarding the LCR018-D frame set,
1, the seat post have two options: 0mm offset and 15mm offset,
The second option was originally designed with a 20mm offset, but after testing, we found a 15mm offset to be more stable, so that's the final version.
The default offset for the seatpost is 0mm, as the 15mm seatpost is still in production.
2. about the max chainring
a. If use Shimano crankset, max 2x chainring 54-40T, max 1x chainring 42T (smaller ones are all fine).
b. If use Sram crankset, max 2x chainring 56-43T, max 1x chainring 54T (smaller ones are all fine).
if install the chainring Sram 56-43T with CL 45mm, there is a space width 5.8mm to the frame, it's enough,
if 1X 54T, the space is 7.8mm,
check the attached photos.

Carol was my contact.


There is absolutely no consistency in the responses, which is my concern.
I was told a 42t would be the largest, which I know is incorrect. I also know a 54t with a 45mm chain line is unlikely to be possible.

Regarding UDH. They've modified the hanger which is ok, but it sounds like they've also slimmed down the frame which would necessitate a spacer for the rear mech to attach.

If that's the case, it would need to be precise as there are no adjustments on the UDH rear mechs. They don't have High/Low or B.

I'm just not convinced by any of the technical information they're currently providing.

If the CL value is greater than 45mm, the chainring can be more than 42T, like CL 47mm, the max chainring can be 54T

Hi Jim, I know this is a bit out of turn since I'm not planning on buying a frameset right now, but I wanted to see if you've considered making a racier geometry. Something along the lines of using the size 47 stack for the 52 frame, with the 72.6-degree HT of the 56, but still using the 51mm offset fork. The reach may need to extend slightly to maintain the ~590mm FC. Similar to what Trek did to make the RSL version of their Domane.

For larger riders, a size 56 frame, paired with the stack from the 52, and utilizing the 51mm offset fork, would likely complete the range. I'm not sure if a 54 or 58 would make sense, given the overlap with the rest of the size range. Going smaller is also difficult because you don't want the head tube to get too small.

That said, I suspect that size 52 would be more popular. Riders are lowering their saddles, but they can't size down without being too far forward relative to the wheelbase. This is less of an issue for riders who would use the 56.

Even if these had no frame storage and only came with a higher-end layup, I suspect there would be a market for something like this.

We will consider it, thanks for your suggestion. But it won't be this year. We have designed too many new frames this year, and the mold cost is beyond the plan.

Quick update on the LCR018 frame version (with/without downtube storage):

There was some confusion about this, so I reached out to Jim directly for clarification.

He confirmed that the LCR018 frame is available in two versions – with and without storage in the downtube.
At the time I placed my order, only the version without storage was available.

The good news: if you prefer the version with downtube storage, you can request it at no extra cost and without any delay in delivery.
I've opted for the version with storage and will also receive a matching storage bag for free.

Hope this info helps others here as well!

The free down tube storage bag is for customers who have ordered before.
if later cost USD$10/pc,

Can you please clarify the quality rating system that Hambini's spoken about in his past video?  Can customers pay extra to have a top tier quality?

Maybe you can go and have a look at Hanbini's post. Z3/Z7/Z11 is just Hanbini's definition of frame quality. This definition is not given by us. It is a definition given by Hanbini based on his experience after talking and discussing with our supervisor Gavin (fifteen years of experience in carbon fiber frame production and sales) and boss Johny (20 years of experience in frame design and production) at Eurobike 2024.
Hanbini did not say that all our LC frames are Z3 standard. We have also told customers that our frames meet most of his descriptions of Z3 quality: high modulus carbon fiber material, 3D latex inner mold as support technology, testing beyond the conventional EN4210 standard, strict quality management, and good after-sales service. But we never shy away from the fact that our packaging is simple but safe, and there is no paper technical manual.
We had no business dealings with Hanbini. At that time, he needed a good product to make a video, and our frame just happened to appear at that time. It was a wonderful encounter. We just provided him with a frame for free.
Not all relationships need to be supported by money. Hanbini values ​​his reputation more.

If you're referring to me, i'm not hating on the frame, i'm pointing out that (and please correct me if i'm wrong) there are a lot of users on this forum reporting receiving really bad frames, and that the ratio of bad frames over total frames in this model is order of magnitude higher than any other thread i know of on this forum.
To be fair, I am hating on the shape of the down tube, but that's the Jesse Coyle in me thinking i can see aero

We are sorry that this frame did not please you. However, as a manufacturer, we must produce various types of frames to meet different needs.
In the past two years, we have designed 7 aero frames, but none of them have been publicly mass-produced because some old customers learned about the news before the frames were released and bought out their exclusive sales rights, so we cannot sell the new products to others or publish them on the website.
I hope you will like our next public frame.
