Re: Short Cranks 155/160 Supplier Check through these guys catalog and send them and email: https://www.driveline.com.tw/

I have a set of the Zele-A12X-OS which are great value if you want to try shorter cranks. Would reccomend the 24mm version even though its heavier as fitting the 30mm version to a bike accurately is trickier.

Don't know it is there. Seems a crack in the frame, not only cosmetic. And no, I didn't fit a to big bolt in there.
Hopefully Adam from Carbonda can help me

Without seeing deeper, my guess would be corrosion from the brake insert has led to a breakage. I emphasise that this is a big guess though.

Re: Carbonda FM909 Here's some pictures of the issues. It appears as though plastic from the manufacturing process was left in when molding. There is large wrinkle around most of the top of the headtube. They were also kind enough to paint over most of the bearings.

Attached some pictures to the post and here's a link to a video of the damage.

Received the frame.  Quality seems excellent except for:

They painted it with the bearings in the linkages.  My mechanic recommended not to remove them to grease, since he's sure it will badly damage and crack off chunks of clear.  I'm inclined to agree.  I might expect this of one of the super cheap finishes from from one of the 'cowboy' outfits.  But this finish cost me $250.   It means I can't grease them - and they didn't.  And when they need to be replaced I need to wreck the finish.   Not happy.  They also could have done a much better job with the splatter and appear to have ignored my instructions re: doing the splatter over the green clear and then doing colorless clear over the splatter - but I'm not as bothered about that as the more obvious problem.

Derailleur hanger is a bit odd, but seems to work.

I had the same paint issue. I also suspect none of the bearing/frame interfaces were greased because the hanger/frame interface certainly wasn't. Also, as I showed earlier my frame quality was crap.

Re: reccomend me 380mm non-intergrated aero handlebar I just got a set of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004065727692.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.13.125e58d6WlOaer&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21NZD%21NZ%24%20277.45%21NZ%24%20194.22%21%21%21%21%21%4021038edf16875699224342016edf09%2112000027923381883%21sh%21NZ%21784578575

The 380mm ones are 360mm at the hoods and 380mm at the drops. I have only just installed them and haven't even had a chance to go for a ride yet but overall they seem nice enough.

-I ordered the wrong "T47 for DUB" bottom bracket. Apparently there are two version of this standard: Inboard and Outboard. I ordered outboard. Inboard means the bearings sit inside the frame/cup, while outboard means they sit...outside of the frame. Outboard is (I think) is for MTB/Gravel frames because the road Sram DUB spindle I have did not clear the frame. The outboard T47 I have is too wide for the crankset so I have order the inboard version.


Regrettably there is more than two now.

The original T47 spec was effectively a threaded PF30 (68mm Width, 46mm ID) bottom bracket shell. You could then run cups for internal bearings if you were using one of the BB30/PF30 specific cranks which had a short spindle or cups for external bearings to run Shimano cranks or "Long Spindle" 30mm cranks. Now I think basically every 30mm (or 28mm DUB) crankset uses a "long spindle" but frame manufacturers realised that they could thread their BB386 (86mm Wide, 46mm ID) bottom brackets and use the T47 cups for internal bearings so that customers could have the threaded bottom brackets they want and manufacturers could continue their shitty manufacturing tolerances.

Then Cervelo and Factor decided to really fuck with everyone and do a half internal, half external variant of T47.

I'm one of the minority that actually likes pressfit interfaces.... It just sucks that manufacturers can't be bother to spend the extra $10 to do it correctly.

Re: dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil? 86.5mm is literally a threaded BB386 shell. My previous width specs were a bit wonky. SRAM specify that a T47 BB for internal bottom bracket should be 85.5mm which requires then requires a 3mm spacer on the driveside when installing the crank. In your case a 2mm spacer should work and result in the chainrings being 0.5mm closer to the frame centre line. If you are using more than a single 2mm or 3mm spacer you may have somehow ended up with a "Wide" crankset.

It very much sounds like it does not have an asymmetric bottom bracket.

Re: dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil? Ha, hopefully I was helpful. I know bottom brackets can be a confusing mess to most people but something sounded extra wonky in this case  :o

I'm planning a similar 1x build. I assumed a wide crank would be necessary to fit a big chainring (<50)?

Probably not. Typically the chainline on the direct mount single rings is wide enough to fit normal dimension chainstays. For instance, Garabaruk varies their chainring offset by size to try get a better chainline.
