Re: has anyone else dealt with shipping nightmares from companies (dengfu being mine DpD lost my frame in the delivery process... They just dropped it somewhere it shouldn't be. I managed to find out where (huuuuge storage), the owner let me search the place and I did find it.
Reaction by DpD = big middle finger, you're the recipient and we don't help you.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 OK thanks, I've managed to find the frame is 2cm so the bolts should be 33mm (for anyone searching).

Re: Frame suggestion Most important Aero wise are wheels and handlebar /steerer. Those can be your own choice. (this is materials side, far mor important is the fit so I would suggest starting with a proper bike fit.)
I will never buy a bike with proprietary parts again after the nightmare I had sourcing parts for my current bike.

Re: ZTTO MTB M1 Boost hubs 28H 54T Ratchet So I've built a new set of gravel wheels with these hubs  ;D

Im glad I redid the spoke measurements as I ended up with 288+290 in spoke length and these lengths are perfectly tensioned JUST before bottoming out. The advice to get 290+292 would have meant unfinished business. Total weight with pillar 1420 spokes, brass nipples from sapim and 26 internal/32external width gravel rim from farsports is 1479grams.

I look forward to riding them!

Speaking about the the bottom bracket guide and the FD: is there an aouter cable stop to operate a FD w/o integrated cable stop (like any SRAM derailleur)? I think this would be the only option if the cables run through the headset/steerer tube into the frame... thanks for any hint! I got myself an Ultegra derailleur as a backup but would like to stick with the SRAM Force hardware if possible...
I'm still waiting for my frame; it was hanging around two weeks at some airport waiting for a delayed flight :-/

Yes there is, the bottom.guide has a slot where the cable stops and where you can fit one of those long-rip stops before it routes upwards To the derailleur.

Frame arrived today! Like Chrismas and Easter at the same day :-)
I quickly had a look: from a 1st glance I could not identify something like a cable stop in the bottom guide. Rather it looks/feels like I can run the outer cable around the BB upwards to the point where the cable exits the frame. @ Aesch, or did you mean that? Btw. what is meant by "those long-rip stops"?
I'll try to make a picture; says usually more than 1000 words.

So for me the outside cable runs up to / into the bottom guide where it stops in this (attached picture). The cable itself runs upwards to the derailleur.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Looks really cool!

As an update: the grx rear derailleur fits easily with the clutch On when paired with an 11-32 cassette. It was indeed the B screw.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 I've bought Robert axle project axles
172mm and 120mm
Perfect fit.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 So, after the first few rides and tinkering a bit with setup, brakes etc I'm Really happy with the bike. It rides really well, handles nicely and predictably and is comfy for long rides (3h +).
In direct comparison with my other bike it takes slightly more effort to keep up higher pace. I wonder if I'd notice if I would not have been able to ride the bikes back-to-back.
It also "feels" slightly slower generally but I think that's due to the different tyres, where I ride this bike on vittoria corsa controls at 29mm wam (5 bar ~70 psi). The other bike is rim brake and I use pirelli race 27mm wam (5.4 bar, ~80 psi) . Power wise it's not noticeably different at anything other then the above mentioned higher pace. Maybe the extra 0.5kg also matters slightly.

The build is a mix of GRX and Ultegra components, due to availability and cost as well as preference for hood shape, ergo wave braking and (now it finally functions) the clutch on the rear derailleur for the "light gravel" round I intend to ride too.
I routed the shifter cables outside to prevent shifting issues (it shifts better then my other mech shifting bike where everything runs internally).

Main components:
1056 frame (58) and 1036 handlebar (11x42cm).
Grx 810 shifters, hydro brakes and rear derailleur.
Ultegra 50-34 crank175mm, 11-32 cassette, Rd8000 front derailleur and hg701 chain.
Ultegra pedals.
Farsports Feder 45mm, 28mm outside 21 inside on carbon ti hub, brass nipples and cx sprint drive side spokes (unbelievably light combination), vittoria corsa control 28mm, latex tube.
Xtr rotors 160mm front and rear

Small parts:
Sq labs active 612 14cm
Close the gap garmin mount + bell
ZTTO handlebar tape (very much like lizardskin, recommended!)
Tacx bottle holders
Bontrager flare light

Total weight 8.3kg


Issues while building :
The front cable guide  :o, with the new guides in the house I'll replace it with a proper one as soon as I feel like swapping the front derailleur cable.
The rear axle drive side "holder" was tight. Replaced it with one of the spares and problem solved.
The lower screw of the front brake caliper is quite tight, I guess some resin left over, it works and holds well however it was not super easy to get the caliper in perfect position.
And I forgot to add cable foam on the rear hydro brake cable  :-\ brakes are super tight now so I don't feel undoing "just because".

Left to do:
Find rubber grommet for the hydro hose entry point on the front left, which I don't use. Anyone know a fitting one?
Decide whether I want to go down another 5mm or keep it like this.
