Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Another thank you for this forum (as well as certain individuals I ping'd directly) for the content here. I just ordered a 1056 and looking forward to building it once it arrives. Once built, I'll share the build details (parts, cost, etc.). First time I'm doing this, so should be an interesting experience!

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Update: Success! I used a TRP Centerlock ring for a 12mm axle to replace the Shimano external tooth lock ring. None of the LBS in my area carried the part, so I got the TRP version since Amazon would deliver it in 2-3 days. Thanks all for the recommendations. Providing the update photo for comparison.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hi all. I wanted to share a pic of my completed CFR1056 build as well as thank everyone for the contributions to this thread that helped me figure it all out. This is my first bike build, so there was a ton of learning in the process. A particular thank you to "2old2mould" for sharing his file for design that I leveraged in communicating with Wing. Details on what I ended up with: The big stuff: Frame: FM1056 Size M. (I'm 5'10 w/ 32" inseam and not super fit/flexy). Internal routing. 2-tone paint glossy. Bottom Bracket: BSA-68 Groupset: Shimano 105 r7000. Hydraulic disc brakes, 11 speed. Wheels: Elitewheels ENT Disc. 45mm depth; 28mm external width. Tubeless compatible. Tires: Continental Grand Prix S TR - 28mm Power Meter: Stages L Side for Shimano r7000 Stem: FSA SMR ACR Stem - 90mm Headset: NO. 55R 1.5" ACR STD Handlebar: Ritchey WCS Streem Internal Routing Handlebar Pedals: SHIMANO PDM520 Clipless SPD The little stuff: Hydraulic Hoses: Shimano SM-BH90 Disc Brake Hose Shifter Cables: Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 Shift Cable Set Tubeless Tape: Zukka Tubeless Tape 23mm Handlebar Pads: Selle Italia Bar Tape Shock Absorbing Pads Bar Tape: Domain Cycling Handlebar Tape & Bar Ends (94" x 1.2") Build Learnings: Building the bike was an adventure and YouTube intensive. I had three major issues. First, an end cap for the front wheel hub went missing during the build, and since I didn't know better, I didn't realize a part was missing. This required finding a replacement. As the wheels are from a China based company, that took a lot of work to get sorted out. Checking for loose pieces everywhere before throwing out packaging would have saved me from this. Second, the original lock ring I had for the front brake rotor was too large and rubbed against the fork. I had to swap to a TRP Centerlock ring that was angled (narrow on the outside edge) to create space. Third, the holes for the rear brake caliper were slightly misaligned. This created rub between the brake pads and the rotor even without squeezing the brake levers. My local bike shop was unable to fix this issue, and Wing wasn't responsive. After ~50 miles of riding, the brake pads wore down a bit to allow free movement, but it feels like riding into a headwind until that happens. Will be annoying with each new set of pads. Fourth, while I wanted to go fully integrated, I wasn't sure on fit and feel. So I used the semi-integrated cabling route through the stem to allow some extra cable length. Once I've dialed everything in, I may go through the effort of routing through the handlebar directly and going fully integrated. I did have my local shop complete an inspection/tune on the bike before riding it, and they found a few mistakes I made and corrected them. I highly recommend going that route if this is your first build or you lack 100% confidence in your skills. Overall, great experience. March 27, 2023, 05:06:25 PM |
