That is correct.  The spacers are the FSA ones.  I found that the FSA spacers were much easier to install than the carbonda supplied ones.  The locking mechanism is really solid and you can adjust the headset spacers while the handlebars and cables are still installed.

Thanks Zrider, I tried to find those spacers on FSA's website but failed. I wonder if these are still available?
I also wonder what weight your set up it? I can't get a weight from Carbonda for size 58, I am kind of guessing 1200 considering 54 is stated as 1050 on their website. Fork appears to be on the heavy side, is 480+/-15 about right?

I just finished my build of this frame with the integrated handlebars.  I ended up having to order the FSA ACR headset and spacers as the bearing and race in the Carbonda headset did not sit flush in the fork/frame interface.

Just to double check, the spacers shown on the picture are from FSA, right?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Looking for sources for an Aluminium Gravel Frame. Most seem to offer carbon nowadays.
Ideally with thrus, flat mount disc, tire size up to ~44mm with tapered carbon fork option and unfinished/painted . Seems to be really hard to find. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Rick

are you still riding this frame? How well has it been holding up?

Hi all,

I am researching a carbon cyclocross build and wonder if anyone has feedback after significant off-road use of their chinertown cyclocross bike. Background is obviously safety as I ride fire roads and even rocky trails with my current ride, which is Aluminium and I do hesitate to switch to carbon/chinertown carbon, especially since I am on the heavier side, ~190lbs.
So anyone out there with an ‘experienced’ cyclocross bike? If so, please share frame/fork and other details + good/bad feedback.

Cheers & Thanks,
Rick
