Carbonda Cfr 1056

You can get the FSA longer expander for about $15. I'll either order that, or the whole headset that includes the expander. Right now the expanders are easy to find. The headsets are harder to find, and the spacers simply can't be found. That's a drag.

Definitely room for two brake cables down the spacers - no need to send any through the expansion/compression plug. That's how I routed mine.

Excellent! Thanks.

Just to clarify your stem height. My experience has been that the stem cannot be cut so that the top of the expander plug is flush with the bottom of the top cover. The entire system needs space above the expander plug for the stem to be compressed by the top cover bolt to load the headset.

This is also my understanding.

Now I'm wondering if the FSA ACR stem will work with the Carbonda integrated headset and spacers. I have those coming with the frame and if the stem will work with the Carbonda spacers, I may choose to use them.

Here's the FSA ACR headset cover. I'm assuming any compatible stem is gonna have the matching holes to help lock the stem in place. The second picture is the bottom of the cover. The lock ring definitely has the holes, but it works fine with a generic headset cover without the pins.

If your headset cover has pins that dont match the ACR cover's pins. It might be problematic.

Thanks for that.

hey everyone, any idea as to what the max tyre clearance with 650b would be like? I've seen Bonspiero's pic with the 35mms installed, looks like with a 650b it could be in the range of 40++ mm I'm guessing. Has anyone tried?

It arrived. I'm stoked on the color it looks way better than the photos they sent me after it was painted. I was worried when I got the photos but happy with it in person. I photo shopped what I plan to do for logos I designed. I only took a non drive side photo so I flipped the frame in the photoshop so don't mind it being wrong haha I'm aware.

Looks really cool!

As an update: the grx rear derailleur fits easily with the clutch On when paired with an 11-32 cassette. It was indeed the B screw.

I'm very envious! I ordered one day after you, and I haven't received a paint photo, a shipping date, etc.

Mine is out for delivery today. Will update with photos later.

Forgot to ask for headset spacers. Guess I'll pick those up locally.

Threaten to cancel your order saying you found a different bike locally. That's what I did and then I was told my frame was painted and I couldn't cancel.

Has anyone tried fitting a supercompact 2x crankset on this frameset? For example GRX 600 46/30, SRAM AXS 46/33, or SRAM AXS Wide 43/30.

I'm wondering if the front derailleur can be mounted low enough for these cranksets.

@failstone: What RAL color number is that?

[jstrawks]

I don't think my frame is taking too long, even if other people have had theirs a bit faster. I'm just eager to get it.

I received photos of my finished paint last night! Delivery will be scheduled.

The third photo was to show me that I wasn't getting a frame with the "fin".
