Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707

<< < (52/53) > >>

Coming from a 696 and wanting some more clearance and descending confidence. A little sad that it seems this frame can't do a RaceKing 2.2". The plan was to supply my own fork that can take a 60mm from WINOWSPORTS that has a 410mm A to C, so a little more slack and upright, i'm tall w/ long legs... so I welcome the stack height lol.

I have been trying to justify this as my next frame over an Epic HT with short rigid fork. But looks like the drop bar Epic HT will have to be the ticket.

Hi all,

I bought this fully internal frame too and built it up with an Shimano GRX 820 (1x) mechanical groupset with the 10-51 cassette. The build went really easy until I got to adjusting the deraileur...
I can't get it to work properly... It shifts very inconsistent.

Is there anyone with tips to get it to work properly? (Maybe a youtube video I haven't found yet) I am affraid that the cable is routed to tight through the frame :( I used the deraileur outer cable completely through the frame and handlebar.
 
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately I don't have good news, hopefully someone else has some solutions.  The main issue is the bend in the handlebar, so an option could be to use a normal stem/handlebar (or externally routed one piece handlebar) and run the cables through the headset at a shallower angle.  Maybe there's a type of cable and/or housing that has less friction for tight bends, or a lubricant that can help.  I could never get mine dialed in so I went AXS.

Syceone:
Thanks for your reply... I think i'll go to my lbs to let them fix it... If it needs another handlebar I'll go for that.

Hi all,

I am about to pull the trigger on this frame for my "all-road" bike (i.e. with 2 sets of wheels).

Now comes the question of the groupset : I definitely plan to go 2x (probably 50/34) b/c that is what I have now and clearly 1x won't do for my use case.
But I am a bit afraid of routing a hydraulic 2x groupset fully internally.

Who has done it? How would rate the installation: easy, doable, painful, should I just forget about it and go di2/AXS?
