    M820 Bafang - LIGHTCARBON LCE930 Frame (lightweight)

    Have you experienced similarly bad quality I documented in the other thread? I imagine quite many frames have passed your hands at this point.

    Lightcarbon LCE930 review

    Hi, I suspect others don't have as bad defects as I do. If you look at build videos and stop and inspect the quality, you will notice much higher quality. Of course there's also the possibility that people have ignored some defects, but i think that plays a lesser role. Ideally I want a new...

    Lightcarbon LCE930 review

    Thank you for sharing. People don't seem to want to talk about these issues. But making this public is the only way we can make these companies accountable. Quality issues hurt their bottom line and they go out of business, or they up their game.

    The headset is according to LC made by Enduro. However Enduro confirmed my suspicion that they do not supply LightCarbon with headset bearings.

    Some red paint marker, indicating maybe QC fail. Some machining probably done, but it has not fixed the fitment issues

    Voids present in carbon at both sides of motor mount area, potentially compromising bolt integrity. Also the metal inserts are not in the center of the supports, weakening the adhesion.

    Rough carbon that has not been painted properly. This is a very minor issue.

    Significant carbon dust inside the frame suggests poor quality control and no cleaning during manufacturing. There is no way of inspecting the frame properly if you don't clean it.

    Uneven carbon, indicating poor quality control and finishing. Some finishing might have been done indicated by the marks, but cups are still larger than need be
