Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Can anyone let me know roughly what the price is of the Carbonda CFR 1056?This is the stock response from the vendor as of a couple weeks ago (you can send an email to them or fill out the contact form): option 1: 490USD for external routing with frame ,fork ,seatpost and clamp option 2: 650USD for internal routing with frame ,fork ,setpost ,clamp and handlebar HB1036 other parts cost : 12USD for headset 26USD for F&R axles 230USD for shipping cost ,shipping time is about one week Usually the delivery time is about four weeks There is also a slower shipping option at about half the above cost. And an extra derailleur hangar is $5. I had mine customized - asked them to cover the holes that I wouldn't use with carbon (cost for that was $5/hole) and it understandably appears to have added to the above estimated delivery timeline.

Can anyone confirm that the headset for this frame is 1.5" top and bottom?Yes, the head tube is 1.5" top and bottom. http://www.carbonda.com/road-frames/125.html Headset: 1-1/2"* 1-1/2”ACR Finished assembly earlier this week (I have to learn to stage better...) - August 07, 2021, 08:34:53 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
How did you specify your bar/stem? What were the options you were offered?The Handlebar CHB1036 comes in these sizes (length*width in mm): 100*400/110*420/120*420/130*440 The link is here: http://www.carbonda.com/accessory/handlebar/109.html What is this "fishing kit"?Apologies for my imprecision, "internal routing cable tool" is a better key search term. As per usual, Park makes one and a dozen other brands sell similar for 1/4 the price. The Carbonda spacers and the FSA spacers all detach in the middle?Yes - Carbonda horizontally (looking at spacer from the side, there is a vertical line up the middle), FSA diagonally (i.e., asymmetrically). I think the FSA fit together better and were well worth the cost to upgrade. Would you have chosen BSA68 over the pressfit if you had the option?When I ordered, BSA wasn't available in quantity of 1 (implying I had to place a larger, B2B, order...) - and I would have taken that over the PF as additional insurance against creaking.  What size is it? And what depth are the wheels?This was a size M & rims are 56mm depth. 31mm tires in this picture - & they clear with no problem (specified max width is 32mm).

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Agree on the internal cable routing. I don't hear any rubbing (or rattling). Handlebar bolts are fore/aft. The Geometry tab has the dimensions (i.e., M5 bolts on 44mm spacing). There is not a cover per se that can detach to help with cable routing (at least mine didn't have a removable cover), these bolts are just threaded into the handlebar. Cobbled together a second, commuter version, from a mish mash of parts tonight. I'm done bike building for a while. Also, weird that the preview is upside down... August 10, 2021, 01:34:15 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
35mm fits.Nice! Thanks for checking that! I didn't want to spend $100-150 on another set of tires only to find they didn't fit. Sorry, no experience with ICAN or Carbonda wheelsets - I went with Light Bicycle and am pleased. August 21, 2021, 02:34:20 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Do the FSA and carbonda spacers play nice together?They do fit together, but the seams run in different places. So you could assemble them a bit like Legos.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Does anybody know if I can use their cockpit with external routing instead of internal?You can certainly choose not to feed cables through the handlebars - just tape them to the bars. Or I suppose you could feed them into the holes marked 16.2*12 and out the holes marked 16*8.5. Then feed the cables into the holes in either side or top of the frame. No changes to headset or anything aftermarket required. I've built two of these - one with a flat handlebar & necessarily external cable routing - and one with Carbonda's handlebar and internal cable routing. No regrets with either.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Did anybody use their aero handlebar CHB1036 and guide through 4 lines? Is it easy/doable?I didn't end up building this way, but it's possible to route 2 cables through each set of holes on the handlebar and 4 cables through the headset spacers. Nice looking bike. Which stem did you use?Not the OP, but the handlebar was designed to be compatible with the ACR system by FSA and Vision. That particular stem appears to be a SMR version from Vision - https://shop.visiontechusa.com/en/stems/road-gravel/vision-stem-ns-smr. November 16, 2021, 01:39:58 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
With 4 „cables“ or only 2 meaning wireless group?Apologies for delayed response - the integrated build was wireless, so just the 2 hydraulic cables running through the handlebar. Fully integrated makes for a really clean look. The handlebar, headset, spacers, and frame are designed to also accept 4 cables. In my mind, the larger concern with a fully integrated handlebar is that you have to guess at the perfect reach dimension (and width as well, I suppose) sight-unseen on an also unseen frame. So this path may be best suited for folks that are: a) habitually lucky, b) happen to have measurements perfectly dialed, or c) are willing to accept that the first handlebar may not work perfectly.
