LightCarbon LCE930 Member Build Gallery

[quincymedic]

Finally finished my build, was at times frustrating but got there in the end, this is the first time I have completely built a bike up so proper chuffed,plus it's my first full suspension mtb. Have previously converted a hardtail to a ebike using a BBSHD but was so heavy. I am amazed how light this thing is.

parts fitted
Fox 36 Elite Forks 150mm
Fox Float DPS Evol shock
Hope Tech XC wheels Front 29er Rear 27.5
Hope Tech 3 brakeset
Hope F22 pedals
Hope Stem
NS carbon handlebars,Peaty's grips
Sram AXS Gx derailleur with Hope jockey wheels

Vittoria Mezcal tyres setup tubeless
Mudhugger front mudguards,proguard rear mudguard

Still waiting on DPC 245 display to arrive, planning on fitting Hope front Chainsaw and cranks as well, but apart from that it's all complete

how many builds are 160 fork?
il thinking of a fox 38

 

[Devey73]

edit, i meant 170mm

 

[Freda]

I have a 170 fork, because that is what I had. I would still choose 160 if I get a new one, but 10mm is not a big deal. Reason is geometry, same reason why I like full 29 more then mullet.

run inserts , at least one in the rear
i tried cushcore but hated the install. tannus armour tubeless is a nice compromise between weight and easy to install

I run cushcore on one bike and tannus on the other. Cushcore was a pain.

it dampens the vibrations and saves your rims

My recent build had 2 rides on it, I can't be happier with how it performs.

nice one! i like your specs !
what does it weigh and whats are u using as a battery ? travel ?

 

[kaaskopf]

whats the biggest battery that one could diy and fit this frame ?

whats the biggest battery that one could diy and fit this frame ?

I have a 13S3P battery with 21700 cells. I think 7 rows is maximum in L size. So theorethically, a 14S3P could be maximum with the BMS mounted on the end. That could give you roughly 870Wh capacity in theory.

Would I need this? No, probably not. In summer I ride with a 500 Wh:ish battery and it is enough 90 percent of the time. I use range extender for long rides. Also it is about one kilogram extra in the front of the bike, wich affects handling.

 

[Freda]

If I would do everything again, I would build a 14S3P battery with 18650 cells. That would give 500+ Wh battery using 48V firmware. I have tried a few different firmwares and the 48V has been the best one.

 

[dmzalarm]

nice one! i like your specs !

Thks. It is quite heavy, almost 22kg because of the coil shocks front and rear. Front travel 160, rear is 150 per frame spec.

Battery is OEM, Bafang BT F014 410Wh, 43V, provided by lightcarbon.

Please show us range extender,did You use dual battery adapter to connect at any time ?

It is a 13S1P, connected with battery balancer from aliexpress. I made a second port for this in the motor cover.

13S1P, are you not afraid your serial connections will overheat ? Is it a copper nickel sandwich?

Love the creative artwork!

Not letting the winter slow me down. 930 handles winter riding like a champ . View attachment IMG_1778.jpeg

 

[Freda]

13S1P, are you not afraid your serial connections will overheat ? Is it a copper nickel sandwich?

Yes, I am. All serial connections are with two 8mm x 0.15mm nickel strips. I don’t have skills or equipment for copper. I avoid running boost mode with only extender connected. Cells are ok for 10.8A continuous and temporarily up to 21.6A

It would be better to build with 18650 cells and 2P. Still I only use it to ride to and from the local hill. When I am there I use internal battery only going up and down. This way I can use smaller internal battery.
