Carbonda Cfr 1056

@failstone: What RAL color number is that?

I just asked for olive green and they sent an example frame colour which I liked. I can ask if you'd like.

Looks great in person, really happy with it.

I'm so glad I don't have to look at RAL colors any more haha.

The frame guide from Carbonda (top) and from the dolan tuono(bottom) . Interesting difference. (the bottom one even has an imprint "1056").

So there must be more differences, other then the 'fin'. Anyone know of brands using the frame?

What size rotors is the 1056 set up for? Thanks

The rear flat mount fits for 140mm rotors w/o adapter; adapters for 160mm are available. For the fork you need an adapter anyway: I'm only aware of those which can be flipped to suit 140 and 160 mm rotors. 180mm rotors most likely won't fit due to lack of clearance (at least that's my impression lookimg at both front and rear); not sure whether adapters exist at all.

That's interesting. The guide I received with my 1056 rather looked like the one on the bottom. There was a small fin on the rear side but only a few mm long and w/o cable. In combination with the fitting issues I'm wondering whether I received the correct one... anyway now it is installed and working. I will receive a bag with some more spares and am now curious how the two BB guides wll look like.

Yes, I got a similar one to the description you give. The small protruding part broke when installing. So that Is a third configuration. It looks like the longer extended type cut short.

I thought this was more of a question of calipers than bike frame? I used an ultegra caliper set that was configured for 160 front and 140 rear - and I needed a spacer to use the rear 140 caliper with a 160 rotor. Similarly, I used SRAM calipers that were designed for 160 rotors and they worked without a spacer.

[Aesch]

Yes, however especially with forks you need to watch out. Road bikes usually are not designed for 180mm calipers, hence the forks can not handle the associated extra forces they generate.

The mounting points on a road bike fork and chainstay are standardized. If your caliper is made for a 140mm rotor, your caliper needs an adapter to accommodate a 160mm rotor, not your frame.

Again what learned... it was clear to me that the fork and frame mounts are standardized. But I was not aware that there are differences in the calipers. I thought they are all designed to match 140mm rotors and need adapters for different sizes. So another degree of freedom to take care of ;-)

I've received my tracking number.

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?

I thought i'd bump this question. I'm curious about this as well. I'm wondering if a 650bx42 would fit. I'm trying to find a set of 650b's so I can test but they aren't so cheap and I havent sourced any used ones locally. Has anyone tried?

Has anyone built this up without the integrated handle bar?

Looking at a bike that would still be a solid racer, not a endurance type geometry. Can anyone chime in?

[fattyrice]

Currently down with covid so haven't been building my bike up as much as I would like. Just finished routing the cables in the integrated handlebars and frame.

Agree with Michi on the FD guide. It was a huge pain in the ass to properly cable as the OT-SP41 outer housing was not bending enough to comfortably route into the guide. The guide also wont go in if there is even a little bit of the housing peeking through. I chose to instead file a little off the top of the guide just so it goes in easier with some of the outer housing peeking out. Was sorely tempted to go eTAP out of frustration!

Rear Thru-Axle was also very difficult to remove and install once about 80% in. When the RD hanger is off the bike, it goes in easily, so no cross-threading there. Rather seems to be an alignment issue. Workaround was to loosen the hanger slightly, screw in the thru axle, and then retighten the hanger. Maybe some resin or paintwork underneath the hanger but nothing I can identify by naked eye. Any suggestions? Also, can I confirm if the provided thru-axle dimensions are as follows?

Front: 120mm M12*P1.5*L14
Rear: 173mm M12*P1.5*L15

Thanks in advance.
