That was exactly my point. I do not expect that either.  However, when I asked the same question to LightCarbon representative they sent me a size chart table that claim that 56 size frame support riders up to 193cm which I dissregarded as correct.

LightCarbon representative also told me to measure my stem lenght (which is 87cm) and compare it with bike standover height which for 83.13cm for 58 size frame. Bike standover height should be 2-3cm shorter than rider's stem lenght which in my case is 4cm shorter. Hence my question if anyone of my size or even taller ride 58 size frame ?

I really like this frame but it sounds that there is no chinese frame that support my height. The similar problem I have with tantan X68 frame. Thier 58 size has even smaller bike standover height.

I am 1,86m and (if I remember well) 89cm inseam.
I took the 58cm (LCR017) after comparing it with the XL Inflite I am (mis)using as road bike and I'm confident it is the right choice even if I'm still building it.
I opted for stem + handelbar (instead of cockpit) because I'm using mech shifting (and I'm so happy I did) and I took additionally a shorter 100mm stem as back-up just in case.

I've  very little time to spare for the build and it will take another while, but I'm making progresses.
Brakes are mounted and bleeded, even if I'll repeat the bleeding for the rear one since I'm not happy yet.
FD is mounted and set.
RD is mounted
Next up are chain and setting the RD.
Bottom bracket and crank set also also done just like the seat post.

After a test ride I'll proceed cutting the fork shaft and that is one more reason why I'm happy of the stem+handlebar solution.
Otherwise I'd probably have to disconnect the front brake.

The overall quality is very good and I'm amazed of the many small pieces delivered along which make life easier.

Hello,
I was thinking of buying this frame and I am undecided about the size frame.
My size is 171 cm, Inseam 73-74 cm.
Recommended size chart from LightCarbon is for 490 size with Integrated Handlebar HBR14 - 400 x 90 mm
Do you think it's ok for those of you who are my size approx.

Thank You

I think that the best solution would be to compare the dimensions (including handlebar reach and drop) with some bike you are familiar with.

Update for my fork: they first asked to see some photo's and after that for a video and sent it over to their engineer.

Wendy responded very quickly after that that they were going to sent a new fork, painted in my chosen color.

Besides that I like the frame, the customer service was a big factor into choosing to do business with them and they did not dissapoint.

That´s good news indeed.

On my Aliexpress product page is:
"Compatible with 68mm-86.5mm standard road bike bottom brackets."


The question is whether it works with T47 68 and 86mm bottom brakets, due to the larger bearing diameter and the risk of interference with the power meter unit.

I asked the Magene cutomer support and the answer was:

"Dear Customer,
Good day. Thanks for your support on Magene.

Regarding your inquiry, we need to clarify that our P515 is compatible with T47 BBs, including both the 68 and 86 versions.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
Best regards,
Alecia"

On AliEx (Magene shop) you can read:
Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket !

So at least half of the CS answer is wrong.
I wonder about the other half.

Has anyone already tried combining a Senicx PR3 crankset with a Shimano left arm (with glued power meter)?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I tried the P515 with T47 86,5 mm on a tantan gr101 frame. The powermeter is touching the frame. With a small spacer it will probably work. Will try next week.

Do you think that it would be better with a T47 68 frame, where the frame BB itself is narrower and the bearing cups stick out more?
Thanks again.

I'm not the master in groupset, but I though the spindle lengths were different between them?
I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
I replaced an Ultegra crankset with a GRX 600, I didn't add any spacer and I don't see any play.
Beside, road cranks and "Gravel" ones are made for the same BB size.

I really wish they would make a grx version… Or does anyone know how to make grx fd work with 105 crankset?
On one bike I have a GRX 810 FD with an Ultegra crankset and no issues.
The GRX FD has a wider range and can be easily adjusted.
I have an Ultegra FD with a GRX 600 crankset on anorher bike and it works more than reasonably well.
The only issue is that the chain slightly touches the FD while on the smallest sprockets and I couldn't get rid of it yet.

As you may read on the PES 515 product page both alloy and carbon cranks are compatible with T47. Chainring of your choice doesn't change anything. Can be Stone, Shimano or any other 110 BCD. This is new setup, so there's low possibility to someone already have it installed.

I read it on the Magene HP, but I´d like to have some confirmation from the field.
Probably it makes no difference whether it's a T47 68mm or 86mm and yet again I´d like to be sure.
Same question for what concerns the chainrigs: I'm using a 33t ZA Specialites on an Ultegra crank and it works fine, but someone reported that it doesn´t work that good with another 110 BCD crank.
It has been a while since I built my last road bike and there are a few factors which are quite new to me, so I´d rather like to know instead of guessing.
The frame is already ordered and it has a T47 68mm BB.

I already asked the question elsewhere and I was "friendly" advised to try in this already provided discussion.
Did anyone tried the combination of Magene P515 + Stone 48/33t 110m 4 bolts chainrings + T47 68mm BB and can kindly report how well it worked out?

Thanks in advance.

Ask same question in the thread dedicated to the PES 515.

http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6000.0.html

Read it first and maybe you will find an answer already. It's not facebook.

I did already read that discussion and I found what I reported a couple of comments above.
Sure, I could and will ask the same question there if it helps. I just was/am of the opinion that the focus is a bit different.

P.S. Done.

If u can't find a thread about pes515 you need glasses at least.
You are welcome.

Well, I'll consider myself fortunate if I just need glasses.
I wouldn´t really want to have your issues, whatever nature they are.
And, since you so obviously belong to a well known category of persons with which is pointless to discuss, don´t be too surprised if I'll totally ignore you in the future.
Get better soon, if ever possible.

Learn to use the search tab and don't start a new post when u can ask a simple question in a thread dedicated to this item.

Thanks in advance

Of course I already used the search function and found little of use.
Just reported issues using the P505 in combination to T47 (not clear whether 86, 68 or both versions ) and that the P515 should be better there (again, which versions of the T47 in case it makes a difference), but there are still a few variables left in the game i.e. do the Stone CR harmonize well with the spider? Is the CR size relevant?
You are welcome.
