Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame

I hope this handlebar doesn't turn out to be anything like the onirii riser bar (which is hideous). The options for an aftermarket bar are limited because it uses a proprietary top cap cover unless someone is prepared to 3d scan and reprint. I suppose you can use a standard round cover but it won't be aesthetically pleasing.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Sensah Electronic Groupset (14 speed?)
« on: August 25, 2026, 04:33:12 PM »
The app needs to be available internationally before you can seriously consider this groupset. There is the "whaleroad" app available but no one has been able to confirm this works, although Sensah themselves were using the app at the Shanghai Bike show.

As per the screenshots from the whaleroad Play store, the cassette speed is adjustable. The long cage rear derailleur specs on the whaleroad website also confirm it's 3-14 speed.

@Sebastian in answer to your question, I just noticed the whaleroad app has a global offset function.

With integrated handlebars ?
If so, that’s great

Yeah, US$1025 all up including shipping and PayPal fees.

Where are you getting the -ve angle from? Surely this is a +ve angle?

Bars look ok accept from the side angle if these are the same ones on the LCR020-D picture in this thread.

They are pretty cheap but I'll have a set of CRW HB01 and possibly a set of XMCS aero riser so I might go with one of those instead.

My bad, it was late at night when I posted this and I had the stem length calculator open at the same time.

If it's indeed +16, then that is ridiculous. How much extra stack do they think we need for an aero frame.

Stack height on the hbr20 is 30mm !! Seems like it was intended to run with little to no spacers. Not sure about the stem angle, doesn't look like -10 and more like -6 from the drawings.

Lol i asked Wendy and she quoted me 869 usd for glossy black paint. Different from Carol which has additional 50 usd. They need to get in sync with each other

Haha, it was Carol who quoted me $869 for UD glossy.

I'm torn between getting the LCR020 for $1025 vs the new tt-x68 for $719 (ICAN A54 sits somewhere in the middle). The price difference is material and I can put it towards a groupset or wheels.

I was advised that XL will be available in Oct.

It's hard to tell from the photos but I'm not digging the handlebar and the upward sweep of the stem. I know hudud and rpantahi are coming out with a riser handlebar which resembles the tavelo riser bar which is more to my liking.

Not in big sizes (XL)

That sucks. I'm jumping off this aero hype train. As much as I don't like buying "copy" or "inspired by" frames, it looks like the new tt-x68 is the front runner for me at the moment.

I have 3 sets of the slightly heavier carbon cranks and all have been fine with xcadey and pp5 powermeters.

And at 2000$+, i’d ratage hunt bargain opportunities at year end sales with Scott, look and others that will have much greater resale value

Very valid point when you take into account resale value on western brand frames vs direct to consumer Chinese frames. The well known brands like tavelo, quick pro, winspace etc might fair a little better but other brands are going to have little resale value.

It would be more elegant to say that they increased price by 300$ and that custom paint was free.

That's not the way I read the situation, we know that lightcarbon outsource their painting so it doesn't make sense to offer it for free. The custom paint option was and still is an additional fee on top of the base spec. There is now an ADDITIONAL $300 charge because they mandated that all frames must come with a lightcarbon logo - yes they are saying it costs them $300 to slap on a logo. And the worst thing.........if you don't want a logo, it will still cost you an extra $300......for what ?

This would have gone down easier if they called a spade, a spade. I hope I am wrong.

That's outright sneaky tactics by lightcarbon, why can't they be upfront about the price increase rather than spin some BS story.

Outdated STA especially in the larger sizes

I agree especially since I'll be looking at an XL, but a zero offset seatpost should remedy this.
