Carbonda FM1136

[Bonpensiero]

There will be a new model from Carbonda, the FM1136.
The geometry of the FM1136 is similar to the FM1056. However, some points are new:

• it is lighter. T800 and T1000 fibres are used
• the design is more aerodynamic
• the chainstay is thicker
• the fork no longer needs a fork crown.
• BSA 68 thread. No more pressfit
• still space for 32 mm tyres

My frame comes from the sample department of Flybike (Carbonda). The workmanship of the frame was awesome.
Weights of my frame (Size S) 1011g, fork (uncut) 502g.

A few pictures and some pdfs from Carbonda.
Frame is size S.

Any idea on the status and availability of this frame?

What handelbar is shown in the build photos?

[Bonpensiero]

The frame is available. Just email Wing or someone else from Carbonda.

The size of the handlebar is 110*420.

Hi everyone,

I am starting to build a Carbonda 1136 frame and I am facing a potential problem. I ordered the non integrated version of the frame so that I can use a regular handlebar, easily adjust the front setup, stem length etc. in the future.

So I have two holes on the sides of the downtube for the derailleurs housings, and also an entrance and exit on the fork leg for the front brake hose. That is it, so I am wondering where the rear brake hose is supposed to come out.

I was expecting another hole for the rear brake with this external version of the frame, somewhere at the top of the downtube. So I am wondering: is it a mistake from Carbonda ? Or is it normal with this frame and the rear hose is always supposed to pass through the headtube ? In the latter case, you would necessarily have to use a semi-integrated type of headset (FSA NO.69 SRS or Acros is52 ICR if I am not mistaken, or the FSA NO.55R for the fully integrated setup).

Thank you for your insights!

...I was expecting another hole...

Isn't there an entry on the downtube ?
Like you can see on the black frame on this post: http://chinertown.com/index.php?topic=4178.0

No, there isn't any dedicated entry/exit for the rear brake hose on the downtube. I have two holes on the sides of the downtube : one for each shift cable housing (pictures attached). The rear brake hose enters at the chainstay and stops in the headtube.

At least for their mountain bike frames there are different inserts for those ports that accept two cables, not sure if that is the intended solution here or not.

Unfortunately I push everyone to go electronic and never had the issue as a result.
You should contact Carbonda

Anyone have a comparison between this and the "outgoing" CFR 1056?

I do like the improved aerodynamics but the "old" CFR1056 seems to have a more aggressive geometry with a seat angle of 73.5° & Head Angle of 73° compared to this new geometry. Comparing the "Large" frame size.

Hey!

I want to pull the trigger on this 1136 but i'm a tad skeptical on the aero properties of the frame and the matte black pictures on carbondas website hide so much detail.

Does the fram actually have an aero build like alot of the modern road race bikes out now? Hard to tell but does the head tube have an hour glass shape and are the fork blades aero? Is the seat post completly round ior does it have an elongated oval shape for aero?

I really want my next bike to actually be an aero upgrade so just trying to enusre this has some of the properties of newer aero frames before commintting. Thanks for the help!!

I wouldnt say its super aero, but it certainly has some aero aspects. Made some pics of a frame I have access to.
Head tube has hourglass, shape, the fork blades are also aero. seat post is round. Hope this helps.

Another question, what size would you guys recommend for a rider with 186cm size and 91cm inseam? Focus on relaxed riding, ultracycling races.
I'm torn between L and XL...

(what a shitty software this forum has )

I'm also in between sizes, trying to decide between M and L. Since I already have a 696 and purposely want something lighter and more nimble i think I'll go M just because the wheelbase will be a bit tigher and it'll be a touch lighter.

In all honesty though i'm stuck between this frame and the Airwolf yfr066. I like the more aero styling of the airwolf but i know and love carbonda so its tough to decide,

I also considered to Airwulf, but after easing about some quality problems and headset issues, I went for the 1136 yesterday.
Carbonda always had very good quality, never had any issues with them. it's gonna be my 4rth Carbonda frame.
