Anyone know a source for Carbon gravel bike fork with bottle/storage bolts, checked the usual open mold companies but no luck
400 A2c for 42c max (max tire clearance on the rear of the bike is only 40c so I down want a monster fork)
-
You can ask carbonda ( carbonda.com (http://carbonda.com) ), they have such fork for the CFR505 model and they may sell you one without frame.
As long as your frame is tapered 1 1/2" - 1 1/8" you will be fine.
-
Interesting, they actually got 2. A 40mm & a 50mm tire clearance.

Well that backfired... thank you for the reply, Carbonda did have two models of fork that would work but unfortunately they also have the cfr696 frame and fork combo and I really like it LOL
I am tall and the 696 has 15mm more reach, 15mm more stack, room for fatter tires than my current ride the ICAN AC388... plus the fork bolts I wanted in the first place.
Got a reply from Adam at Carbonda and will be placing ,y order for a 696 tomorrow.
The ICAN will be my first direct from China frame I sold, any idea what a realistic price would be for a used direct $600 direct frame?
With Wheels Manufacturing GXP BB I was thinking $350 and some shipping, does that seem about right?
Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,
That was not intentional, but I'm sure you'll be happy :)
It is funny that everyone wants to talk to Adam, I'm used to talk with Wing at Carbonda that provides a great service too.
Were you happy of your Wheels Mfg GXP BB ?
I'm about to order them for two coming builds.
Did you have the BB386 version ?
-
Yes its BB386 I have ben very happy with the Wheels Manufacturing GXP BB... I also had one on an older carbon CX bike I picked up used, the frames were known to get squeaky but the thread together BB kept it dead silent for several thousand miles....I used it for road ridding, dirt roads, mellow CX single track and commuting.

Waiting on better cables and a new crankset but couldn't wait.

Wow... That was fast between deciding and building !
What is the frame bag that you have on the other bike ?
-
@Ray Lee, which size fork did you get? And how was it (construction, bolts spacing, weight, other observation)?
-
Ray, how is the frame/fork holding up after several month of riding?
Cheers,
Rick
