Upcoming LCE930 build

[Mikael1]

Hi guys,
I have been reading this forum and have been inspired by builds fron Sandnap and Denver among others. Now I just ordered and LCE930 with motorkit from LightCarbon. Will be posting pictures and notes as I build. The goal is a very functional build, not a luxorious or high end build. I will try to save money where possible without sacrificing quality. So it's a combination of new quality parts, old quality parts and some noname parts.

Wheels are existing 27.5" to begin with, but will probably build a 29" carbon set next year. If you guys have the frame in L and remember what length steerer tube you have (after cutting) that would help me source a good second hand fork.

Here's a brakedown of costs now with new money and total costs along with weight. The prices/components in orange are still pending.

Leave the RockShox Gold 35...
In my oppinion it is a too hevy piece of junk...
Look for a sale on a Lyrik...

 

[Mikael1]

Thanks for input. It's not super heavy. It's 2300g, roughly same as Yari. Will definitely buy a Lyrik if i see one for cheap (just missed one for 210€). But trying to cap the fork budget at around 200€ (second hand). I know 35's are sometimes available for 80€. I actual had a 35 silver. It was totally OK. It's not premium, but it works.

 

[Mikael1]

Alright, now I snatched up a Pike select MY22 for 259€. Also found a used 125mm dropper for 50€, which seems ok given the short insertion length of the seat tube.

Now just waiting for the parts to start rolling. Jim from light carbon said they would ship after 10.10, so hoping it would be soon.

Hi, i think the price you were quoted is same as me . You might have missed one of the fee entries. I think I paid a bit over 2000 eur with the exchange rate a couple months back.

Oh, i think i missed frame + motor kit fees, another 500€ (+/-) thanks for your kind reply.
Cheers

Just a small update on progress. Still waiting for the order, now they said they would ship it end of month. I also learned about small improvements. The display is changed to c245 and cranks are now 165mm. Both of which sound like nice changes.

Hi how is your project going?

My Dengfu e10 was stolen in Helsinki by NarkkariNisti and after getting insurance money I am planning to build another Bafang e-mtb as I loved previous one.

What motor will you be using? Bafang m560?

 

[Mikael1]

Hi, I'm still waiting to get the frame and the motor, will update more on Monday about this. I bought all the other parts already. Well, actually I just ordered the lockring tool and waiting for that to also arrive.

NarkkariNisti™ are the worst. Hopefully you get a good payout atleast. The LCE930 frame only accepts m820, it has a smaller mount than m5** motors, so choice was easy .

 

[Mikael1]

Now I got confirmation that they did infact get the motor set and are shipping it this week. Hope that is the case
