My size and weight:
Height - 6ft 2In (188cm), Weight - 11.5 stone (73kg)
Carbon fibre disc brake road bikes from the big brands are incredibly expensive right now, so in this video, I set out to build one of the cheapest fully carbon aero road bikes possible.
The open-mold carbon frame is literally the cheapest one I could find on AliExpress, and the groupset is from L-TWOO, their RX 12 speed mechanical groupset (which happens to be one of the cheapest complete groupsets I have ever bought).
The bike is disc brake, but a fully hydraulic groupset from SRAM or Shimano would nearly double the cost of the build. So to keep the costs down I am using a hybrid mechanical/hydraulic brake caliper, the Zrace BR-005. From initial impressions they seem to work really well, seemingly just as well as the JuinTech F1, my current favourite mechanical caliper.
However the build was not particularly straightforward, and was probably one of the most annoying builds I have ever done. The frame presented a number of issues, and the integrated carbon handlebars from RXL-SL seem to be pretty poorly made.
However, I am really pleased with the final build, so I’ll get some decent miles on it, and report back!

You should tightly wrap the steerer tube with masking tape where you're cutting. It will make the carbon stands stay together and be cut, stopping those odd ones you had from tearing out.

Hey Luke! I have the same design under my bottom bracket with the cables rubbing against the frame! I fixed it by using a little piece of that guide tube that the bike comes for the cables inside the frame! I used just a little piece like 10cm so now the cable slides inside the tube instead of rubbing against the frame 😉

@markkeaton8132 Год назад

I had that problem also and it caused my cable to fray. Explaining it to someone was unbelievably difficult. A lot of people(me) don't even notice until their cable is shreaded. Finding it on line is impossible. I think I ended up improvising something also. Gonna flip my trusty Motobecane over tomorrow and see what I did.

@ryanw8987 Год назад

"That got dark" *casually laughs*. 😂😂 Great stuff as always. I recently tried an RXL carbon saddle from Amazon. Not only did they send a different model than I ordered, there was a weird clicking noise when I leaned to the left. It looked solid and was, let's say, "inspired" by the Selle Italia SLR Superflow which is a nice shape for me and felt pretty good despite less than 1mm of cushion, but that sound made me nervous something was going on that I wouldn't see until it failed, so returned it. Oh, and also... 🥖

Indeed! Jagwire sells it for their modular cable systems but you might as well just use it to prevent damaging the frame here

@johnp8092 Год назад

Love your work Luke. I bought and installed the LTWOO Group set onto my trainer which originally sported Shimano Ultegra. So I will be transferring the Ultegra to my new Chinese ICAN TRIAERO A9. I have found the same as yourself with the LTWOOs. Great value for the money but a little clunky. Just as you reported the front derailleur is very stiff and i fear the plastic shifter will snap eventually. Glad to hear it you found it gets better in time. Thx again. JP

On the cables contacting the resin internally, looks like a prime candidate for using those lightweight plastic inner liners that come standard inside frames and bars. Even more fiddly but so worth it.

@domestique3954 Год назад

I guess it’s not the bar flexing,but the tower of Spacers might cause problems when it comes to disc brakes,because the brake forces are applied much nearer to the Hub. With a non-integrated cockpit you would able to choose an upward stem. A steerer tube should always be kept as short as possible to avoid vibrations. Also you can see that these spacers are not really in line-probably you can fix this issue with some more precise built spacers-best solution would be a 4 cm long single spacer. Also i highly recommend using copper paste instead of grease,it will keep water away and the thread/screw friction is more stable. In conclusion you have proven how much the bike industry scams their customers. This might be a problem for the offspring as cycling always has been an expensive sport,but today you need to invest like a new middle class car worth of material.

Great build, never felt I needed a "Disc" road bike but I'm very tempted by this just to give me the option, shame Lt-woo haven't fixed the shifting from the drops, for me it was a deal breaker with the R9's I tried. Bit of advice (because I can't help myself): When you next cut a carbon steerer, pic up a "Tungsten Carbide Hacksaw Blade" Its exactly what ParkTool sell, Silverline and a few other budget tool company's sell them for about £4. Use a cheap aluminium stem with a lose spacer on top as a saw guide, and cut a ring/grove all the way around before sawing through from one side this will prevent splintering.

Loved your video, as I have all of your videos but I was distressed not to see a seat post section lol. I recently bought a carbon complete bike from Sensah Empire, and wouldn't you know... I bought it off Aliexpress! Over here in the states, it seems as though buying a carbon bike, from anywhere, you'll have to wait until, at least mid 2023, n pay quite the exorbitant price. My only option then, was a slow ship from China! It took 40 days but my main complaint? You guessed it! The damn seat post keep falling in! This was, actually how I discovered you! No matter what I did it wouldn't stay up. That was until I found your video wherein you mentioned just such an issue. Then I had to find the video mentioned in the video where you mentioned it the 2nd time, 1st time for me (that sentence does make sense). I had a difficult time, for I did possess the plastic you mentioned, but there wasn't quite enough room. Once done (to the best of my ability) the post got stuck several cm too high. So out I went without tightening it, n checking it every couple minutes. After about 30km of bouncing and checking I was nearly in place, n so I tightened it, and everything has been great ever since. I must thank you again! But now that I've been through such a terrible and harrowing setup fiasco, I want you to mention, good or ill, every seat post installation you do, in all your videos! Thanx again!
