How do you protect the chainstay?

Bike is ready and fun to ride. Setting up was easy with the help of a friend, just stem/handlebar was tricky. I decided to go for semi integrated as I love my cheap PRO Discover handlebar. Like so many others I had to learn that FSA headsets only go with FSA stems, so I ditched my favorised Specialized stem. The first FSA ACR/SMR built quite high and although we cut the fork quite conservatively it was too short... So I went for the FSA ACR stem which works fine with 10 mm spacer which will maybe be reduced. Now I needed an integrated handlebar and was surprised that there are not too many on the market that fit. I wanted a little flare so went for Ritchey. All the others have too much flare or no flare or, like deda, 31.7 mm instead of 31.8. Seems like everyone has his own systems and makes sure nothing fits.... I am quite happy with the bike. Unfortunately I had to install lights as winter is coming and it gets dark early.

Seems to be their new frame. Just write to carbonda and ask for it. Geo almost similar to the classic 505 (not on their hp either but can be googled) https://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/cfr505.html Small changes were made and it is 200 g lighter. Mine is in custom for almost 3 weeks now....

Hi Carbonazza, do you think the Specialized SL7 stem would fit? Do I need anything else? Headset?

Hello, I am going for the new 505 SL. I ordered the non-integrated version which would take a little bit longer to deliver. So I decided to swap to the integrated version. Has anyone experience which integrated stem would fit? I prefer to have handlebar and stem separat for easier maintenance. Thank you for suggestions.
