So this is mine, 1500km so far. Very happy so far! Small issues along the way, but everything has been solved and I guess that is part of bike building.

hey guys can anyone tell me the stack height of the headset? I have a fork but i’m unsure if the steerer will be long enough. I don’t have frame yet

Steerer should be a minimum of roughly 124mm + your steering stem height. More with spacers of course.

thankyou!

Here's from my frame in case it helps (it's a size S)

Don't put too much force on the charging cable or the leads will break off like mine did.

I had to do some grinding and soldering to fix them. Also, run the dropper cable on the non-drive side of the motor rather than under it. Finally, get an assistant or find some way to hold the front motor spacers in while you lift the motor into position. That's all the advice I have.

I also found having your bike upside-down helps. You can fiddle with the cables without the risk of motor dropping out, before you insert the motor bolts.

True. But be careful, not to drop one of the spacers from the most front motor bolt. It will fall inside of the frame, and the only way to get it out, is than to rotate the bike again..

Hello guys… I got a question about the speed sensor: should I put something in the little hole? Or only the r plastic cover?

Just the plastic cover, nothing else goes in there.

It looks nice… did you paint it or you asked like that?

Hey thank you very much, I painted it by myself. The decals I ordered at a printing company and covered with a couple of layers 2K clear coat

40.5 lbs, diy 720wH 48v 3p13s 2170 pack. Waiting on very slow carbon wheelset to drop the weight a bit more. supper happy

You guys are making me want to build my own, these builds look great

Do they only offer one frame type?
I'd be after a enduro build, possibly with dual crown forks and coil shock.

Where are you buying the frame and motor systems from?

recommended fork is 150mm, many of us here have 160mm/170mm but I guess dual crown would really mess up the geometry. For coil no issue however, I'm running a DVO Jade and you can see Ohlins and others coils here.
You can buy directly from LightCarbon, you can contact Jim at [email protected] and I think now you can get a kit with frame / motor / battery directly from LC (I had to buy the motor from another dealer at the beginning)

Thanks for the info brbr

Here’s my build, 160 lyrik ultimate , select plus shock, gx axs

Sharing my LCE930 build, had a blast with this bike on the trail. Big shout out to Sandnap for the sharing his build up videos, avoided alot of pitfalls during setup especially with the wiring and motor installation.

Currently building mine..does anyone here thinks headset routing is a pain in the ass?

 

[parnel bosch gen4]

For me it was nightmare.

 

[Devey73]

yes horrid

My spouse tried my Red LCE930 while on the trail. Then told me it was "like riding on a cloud" compared to her bike. Then told me I couldn't have it back.

Well I got it back! But I had to build another one for her (blue/orange per her paint spec)
