Guys. We are going to release our T1100 rims next week. The rim in attached pictures is D50CU-33 T1100 rim UD paintless finish, under 390g/piece.

We are going to build these rims with carbon spokes and our hubs. The promotion price for below combo wheels would be 635 USD/pair excluding shipping, lasts Dec 24 :
D50CU-33 T1100 rims 21/21H UD paintless
Carbon Speed hubs 54T rachets TPI ceramic bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver
Carbon spokes with nipples

The weight for this combo wheelset would be around 1245g/pair

And we are doing 20/20H version lighter hubs which won't be released until 2025, it will save another 40-45g on the wheels by then.

Hello @PeterXu,
Are the D50CU-33 T1100 rims available already?

Hi,

today I was finally about to install my new Yuanan Wheels today which I received some weeks ago.

But then I noticed that the rear wheel is unbalanced. While it is (to my eyes) perfectly trued it is wobbling (uneven weight distribution).
The front wheel doesn't have this at all.

I then did try to look into spoke holes with help of a fleshlight and noticed amassed and displaced carbon fibres and resin at the point of unbalance.
I tried to take pictures but it didn't work out too well.

Is this acceptable? I had expected my new wheels to be well balanced when coming fresh from factory.

Regards

PS: Not sure if what I did photograph is actually causing the unbalance, but it doesn't look fine in that area for sure.

this does look like the moulding bladder remains that where not extracted properly.

Seems well made! glad to know it rides well too. BB well finished is a plus.

The weights are spot on with the original one for both frame and fork. How much did the seat post weight?
The only major difference visible from the pictures is that the original has visible carbon layers on the head tube and front half of the top tube.

Can't you just peel the stickers? They seem to be over the clear coat (just like the original rtp)

How much did the frame cost?

6. Legit groupset, wheels, and cockpit. All the vital contact points if you ask me...

Yeah, because the frame is just an accessory part of the bike.

Hello,

I purchased a LCR017 in June and received it a few months later, paid 712$, a bit less than you because I didn’t ask any customization. Did you request any "z tier" when ordering your frame?
Upon inspecting my frame, I discovered significant voids in the upper seat tube area. I reached out to my sales contact, Carol, regarding this issue but have not received a response yet (WhatsApp and email). I also used the contact form on the Lightcarbon website to inquire about my frame situation.
Just to clarify, I am not seeking for clicks on my YouTube channel, as someone suggested in response to one of my comments on Hambini's video about the same frame model. I simply want to share my experience with the Lightcarbon. Here's the video,
Eventually, I will do another one if Lightcarbon keeps quite about my case.
Thanks Tiago

wtf? the frame made of cheese?

Any ride feedback for the crankset? Interested in stiffness, chainline, spacing and other issues.
