Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[edy]

I too had some concerns with the flex of the integrated bar (running 380/80 combo myself; 78 kg). I don't have much experience with the flex of other brands so I need to compare my bar to others in order to confirm or dismiss my concerns. In general, I don't feel the flex when riding. Does anyone else have the same observations?

For my part, no flex on the handlebar (400x100 mm) but which is actually a good 110 mm. I have few spacers, I weigh 69 kg and rarely do sprints (does this explain that?). Lightcarbon has released a new handlebar, a little heavier and wider at the stem

[edy]

It just might. I also don't engage in any intense sprints so this does not matter much. My observations are based on "dry" tests by applying some extra force on the handlebar while standing and trying to bend the whole stem-bar combo as much as possible etc. Can't complain that flex is noticeable during the rides (in a bad way) which keeps me reassured for now

I tried to check the certification on the UCI website, but could not find anything.

UCI approved or not, it apprars that a professional team has recognized this brand as trustworthy which seems to be good news after all

I swear I saw the LCR017 being sold under the Rollingstone brand at some point. Rollingstone is registered in UCI framesets so I wonder if it’s by proxy approved. I can’t however find the Rollingstone frame on aliexpress anymore tho

FYI.  LC is still doing the normal version and the super lightweight version for any wondering.  Was quoted roughly $695usd for delivery to USA.
