Is it possible to buy the just the fork, and with mounts? I'm looking at the forks on the LC website and can't see a clear and obvious one for the 018-D.

I contacted Jim from LC and he said he'd send me the new version. If anyone has the old style like me I'd ask them to replace it before a costly break maybe takes out your computer. I got luck as only one side broke when I noticed snd remove my Karoo.

FYI, beware the Ti computer mount. I added this with my frame and bar order, snapped with only my Karoo3 on it. Never had a light or gopro with the computer.

I am absolutely loving this build. Fantastic frame and bars from LC.

Without comparing to a trainer or a friends power pedals, it's really hard to say. My P515 is accurate (+/- 1% with both my old Stages left side and with my Kickr, so I'd say it's good).

My old 4iiii was a refurb unit. I'm going to go on assuming the Magene is fine, and the 4iiii was always reading low thus I'm stronger than I thought 

I've built up a new bike this year, using a Magene Teo crank & P515. I'm trying to decide if the power readings are inflated however. My previous bike was a left side only 4iiii power meter, and showed what I would expect for my output during any given situation. The Magene though seems to be quite a bit higher (20-50% depending). I'd love to think it's me being stronger, but I'm def not

Is there a calibration or other tuning I should look into?

Why did you go with Flattop chain with non Sram casette?

It is a SRAM cassette, Force to be specific. If you meant chain-rings, it's cause I bought the chain before deciding not to get a SRAM crank/rings.

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.


What is the paint job called on the site?

'Crystal Effect'. They had a few colours available for this finish.

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.

I'm looking to assemble my setup this week. Is the crown race integrated into the fork? Is it as simple as bearing onto lower fork-fork-insert fork-upper bearing-compression cring and spacers?

My Feb 11th order just arrived. Was about 1 week shipping time to Montreal, CA so pretty good. Box was beat to hell but the contents seem all good. I'm happy to report a VERY grippy treatment added to the seat post as mentioned a page ago in this thread.

Big n00b question here, but the frame/headset requires two of these in the same size?

Hey guys, is there anyone who have experience with both of these Ryet saddles? https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvgtnCg

I've been using the one in the first attached image for about two years and it's fine (my fist road bike so I never used different saddle to compare it with), but after 1-2h it's not super comfortable. I wonder if the one in the second attached image is better when it comes to comfort and if it's worth the replacement.

I tried both. First one, hate it. Too firm, and the pattern is rough even through bibs. Second one, loved it but it broke during a crash. Now I'm considering getting it again or trying something else just for the hell of it.

Ordered a 52cm a few days ago. What's the recommended tool for BB install? I ordered the ceramic BB option with the frame.
