I would love to have a ti bike with discs and Clements like yours.

I bet it's a pleasure to ride all day.

It cruises very comfortably but it's also pretty agile. It didn't break the bank which is nice. Lynskey constantly has pretty good sales on its website.

Hello,

I received the new Lynskey R260 a few weeks back.
Here is a pic of the day I got it out of the box, right after I put the front wheel, seat post and handlebar on....
I am liking the bike a lot...
I have my doubts about the wheelset but maybe is because I am not used to tubeless, adding sealants and the wheels not holding air after a few days of no riding....

Topping off before a ride is common practice, with or without tubes (though some tubeless systems are better than tubes, in this regard).

This is a setup error, you have a slow leak. Even not being ridden, tubeless system can hold some air for a while, They lose pressure a bit faster than tubes, but a few days in the garage shouldn't leave you with flats.

Lovely bike.

I have the same wheels. I lose around 5 PSI per day until pressure drops to 20 PSI. It seems to stay at that level indefinitely.

OP, if you are losing more than that I'd be tempted to use 60ml of sealant and make sure to coat the entire inside of the tire, rim.

Also, it takes two days of inflation before the tires really "set". Annoying but normal?

Hello,
To coat the entire inside of the tire do you turn the tire sideways a few seconds on each side? Or do you have a different method to coat the inside?
I will follow your recommendation and add more sealant. Do you use the Mavic sealant or a different kind?

Thank you for your help

Reviving an old thread.

Hoping for some long term updates of your Lynskey R 260s, or other models ,for that matter.

I just ordered a Lynskey R300 road bike and expect delivery in about 4 weeks. Could not resist their 30% off sale. The bike will be semi- custom, not one of their “off the shelf” website models.
R300 medium frame
Industrial milled finish with etched graphics
internal cable routing (a modification from their GR300 model)
SRAM Force 1x drivetrain. (a modification from their GR300 model as well)
Adventure flared handlebars
Vision 30 wheels (to be replaced with my Mavic Ksyrium pro carbon wheels)

Thanks!

I got an R270 partway through last season. Still need to work out a few things on mine:
- The Vision Team 30 wheels definitely aren't light or fast. My old Bianchi feels much sprightlier on old Ksyrium Equipes
- She came on 28c Conti Ultrasports, which were too wide in the rear on the Visions (measured at ~32c). Anytime I put down some torque, the rear tire would rub against the chainstay. Switched to a GP4k in 25c and all is well. Still on the 28c Ultrasport in the front.
- Mine, at least, came with what felt like two feet of spacers (more like 2 inches, but still). Gave me room to adjust the height at least - but now I have over 1" of spacers on top, and a little over half an inch underneath
- Would personally like a fork with a bit of rake, if only so the front wheel doesn't brush my toe when I'm trackstanding
- Swapped out the Lynskey saddle after the 2nd ride. Turns out my sitbones are more comfortable one something a bit wider than 140mm, rather than the stock saddle's ~130mm.
- Mine came with an FSA compact handlebar (which I like), and an FSA singlebolt setback seatpost (which I don't). Rode with the saddle fairly forward on the post, will be swapping in a Thomson Masterpiece to adjust the fit a bit.

Aside from those little issues, been happy. She rides more stiffly than my old steel Bianchi, but definitely not punishing - just feels like more power's going to the wheels. Once she gets up to speed she's a comfortable cruise missile that can spit miles out the back. Debating switching out the Visions for something lighter and carbon, if only to make acceleration feel a bit quicker. I appreciate the benefits of the 30mm-deep wheels for cruising, just don't like having to spin them up after a stoplight.

I am surprised to see the pictures here showing the R260 with more tire clearance than my R270 - which really can't run true-32c in back.

Congrats on the R300! The new stays out back definitely look nice and clean.

Hi there Lieutenant
Any updates on the R300? I've been hovering over this for a while. How does it ride? Real-world tyre clearance, etc. Also interested in any first hand accounts of R150, R250, R270.....
Did I mention I like titanium?
