Carbonda Cfr 1056

[svanimpe]

How much did you tighten the BB guide? I've had frames with a similar issue, but it turned out I screwed the guide in too tight. At first glance I thought that the closer I get the guide to the frame, the more room the cables would have, but for some reason I don't yet understand, that was not the case.
I then tightened the BB guide only a tiny bit (hardly anything at all) and just relied on the cables to hold it in place, and everything ran smooth.

This was a different frame though, so this may not apply to the 1056.

I'm going to be glad I've decided to go with SRAM AXS, I can tell. It's also going to be easier when the brake lines are all I have to get through the bar, stem, headset, and head tube.

Just received an email my frame shipped.

Have any of you used the carbonda wheelsets or ican?

I'm running ICAN Aero 55 Disc, and I love them. Weight is 1493g for my wheelset. And I think price-wise they're at the sweet spot.

I'm going rival AXS... I hate dealing with cables. I wish my brakes wireless as well. I run XX1;AXS on my MTB I love it so much.

I will be going the Shimano 105 R7020 path as SRAM distributors are not easy to come by in my region. And Di2 is a little bit out of my budget, and the failures of Ultegra cranks worry me.

Please do update on your builds!

Different tightening would not change the situation here, I guess... because the guide is tightened from the outside. Well everything is in place now and works; I'm in contact with Wing for some more spares and part of the are two additional BB guides. Usually if I have spares in stock I do not face an issue. So those are my Voodoo dolls ...:-)
Btw. the bike is built up; different stem is ordered for better cable routing. Bottle cages I'll also change once I come across some decent ones...

I once asked Carbonda to include anti-noise foam tubes with my frame ...

Interesting. Do you have a picture of it ?
Wasn't it possible to put it through the BB or the headtube ?

Very nice!

I've begun to keep close track of my build project. The yellow hasn't been ordered. The orange may not ever be ordered.

You know, I'm having a hard time recognizing that frame as a Carbonda CFR 1056.

What is this?:

I asked myself the same question :-) and afterwards also asked Wing. She replied that there are different batches of the CFR1056, and by mistake I received one with this specific "shape". I guess it is a variant intended for an bicycle OEM... Everything else islike shown on the drawings.

If I get a frame like that, there will be a problem, especially as I ordered paint. They'll have to replace the frame and if they want the bad one back, they arrange to pay the return shipping, and pick up from my house.

Good luck lol

Good luck lol

I've already emailed them and asked them not to ship a frame with that "feature".
