« on: February 28, 2025, 09:47:41 AM »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.I've watched Hambini's video and now understand there must've been a miscommunication or some language barrier. I and many others took it to mean that the customer could pay extra for a better quality tier frame. Thank you for clarifying that. It does explain a lot now.
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.
It would be great if you did also improve your painting Department because most of the gripes i have with my frame stem from the low quality paint job and most importantly the lack of a clear coat

« on: February 28, 2025, 09:10:42 AM »3. After-sales and quality assurance
In the field of industrial products, 100% pass rate is our pursuit, but we know that this is an unattainable goal, especially since most of the processes of carbon fiber frames are handmade, and defective products are inevitable. This is even big brands will inevitably encounter challenges in the production process and cannot fully guarantee the absolute qualification of each product. Some big brands have more than thousands of frames returned or destroyed for each style every year. Their OEM factories are around our factory, and we know this very well.
However, we are always committed to minimizing the probability of errors through strict quality control processes. The LCR017-D frame has currently shipped more than 8,300 pieces, but our defective rate has always been low.
It’s not terrible if there is a problem, we will solve it. We have excellent after-sales service.
We are very proud of our after-sales service. Whether it is a bicycle brand that purchases in bulk or an individual consumer, we always adhere to the established after-sales policy to provide customers with the most perfect solution possible.
About the recent problem, we did not choose to avoid it. When Wendy received Adam's feedback, we immediately took positive and timely measures to resolve it. This responsible attitude is the key to our winning the trust of more and more partners in the European market over the past decade. We firmly believe that high-quality after-sales service and unremitting pursuit of quality are the cornerstones of our long-term cooperative relationship with you.
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?

« on: February 27, 2025, 11:49:07 AM »Huh this is weird the LightCarbon website doesn’t show a hole below the FD on the side of the frame only the back but on other people’s frame shots it’s clearly there
Might be because putting a 5mm hole there causes catastrophic failure? My frame has the hole for the FD behind and lower on the seat post as it's pictured on LC's website. A bit a hassle dealing with the wire but preferred over weakening the frame

« on: February 26, 2025, 10:23:50 PM »Hey everyone, I received my lcr017-d about a month ago. Since then, I probably did around 700km on. Last week, a creaking appeared from the bottom bracket area and was getting louder as I rode more (Also just realized why I felt like my bike was bending sideway when braking....) . This afternoon, while changing my BB, I discovered this pretty big crack
While searching through this forum, I don't think I've seen something similar. What should I do next? I already contacted LightCarbon, but don't have high hopes of resolution...
Could you post more pics zoomed out a bit?

Wow that's scary! If they don't immediately respond I'd file a paypal dispute. Wonder what the great Hambini would say about this utter crap ?

Why not spend a little more money on a better quality bottom bracket?

« on: January 06, 2025, 11:24:05 PM »Copied the wrong code. Its 7207 and 08HS. Pearl white and chameleon green.yes Google drive was posted awhile back by Jim
They both have some sort of effect depending on the lighting, however from the videos I was provided, it's not that crazy. Not sure if am allowed to share their google drive of different paint jobs

« on: December 17, 2024, 06:54:32 AM »Everything is clearer now that I have your explanations.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
The bolt that's supposed to be in the compression plug already has a hole in it that the other bolt screws into.

When you remove that bolt you'll see that it screws into another bolt that's already in the compression plug. Tighten that first then put the cap on and it's bolt will screw into the compression plug. Make sure you follow the correct order and torque settings, your life depends on it.

Remove this bolt. It doesn't belong in that hole.

Before you insert that bolt that holds the cap you're supposed to tighten the bolt that sits flush with the compression plug first. Install the handlebars. Put the cap on. Put the bolt on and tighten to the prerequisite torque afterwards tighten the handlebars to the steerer tube to the torque setting
Hello everyone,
I received my frame and after an exterior/interior inspection, everything seems perfect.
I did a quick assembly to see the result (hand tightening) while waiting for the other parts.
However, I don't see how to4 to screw the upper cover of the handlebar after cutting the fork to the right height and putting the extender in place.
If a charitable soul can guide me?

« on: December 13, 2024, 10:12:16 AM »Any idea why the geometries from LCR017-D and R1058-D dont match? Are they not the same frame?
I don't think that they have the same frame. It's been a debunked myth that's been perpetrated online
