Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056

Nice! Care to share what components you will be putting on the bike? BB, saddle, etc.?
I bought the frame as replacement for my damaged Cannondale SuperSix. So basically I take over what was installed plus change to disc brakes and different crank (as C'dale is BB30):
- SRAM Force 2/10 groupset all mechanical,
- TRP Spyre SLC brakes (have Spyres already at my Cyclocross w. Force 11, works great),
- LightBicycles carbon wheelset 35mm on Novatec hubs,
- Rotor ALDHU cranks,
- running the cables "semi-integrated" nito the head tube through FSA 69 headset, allows for standard stem and steerer. I want to keep the freedom to adjust here, rather than having all integrated (which might be a bit problematic running mechanical discs as well). Handlebar is a Syntace CDR which I really love, stem I'll play around with what's in the box and once I found the proper length I'll look for a nice one.
So let's see :-)

Thank you for the detailed description Michi. If it's convenient could you maybe snap some pictures? Particularly of your solution to the bottom bracket guide. Thanks in advance.
Ah sorry, I did not make pictures. I tried to make a scetch; basically the gap between frame an BB guide is REALLY tight, and with installed BB guide it is not possible to really push the cable from above through the downtube. Installation is now finally as shown in the scetch; but to get there was a pain...

How much did you tighten the BB guide? I've had frames with a similar issue, but it turned out I screwed the guide in too tight.
...
This was a different frame though, so this may not apply to the 1056.

Different tightening would not change the situation here, I guess... because the guide is tightened from the outside. Well everything is in place now and works; I'm in contact with Wing for some more spares and part of the are two additional BB guides. Usually if I have spares in stock I do not face an issue. So those are my Voodoo dolls ...:-)
Btw. the bike is built up; different stem is ordered for better cable routing. Bottle cages I'll also change once I come across some decent ones...

That reminds me of the first-gen FutureShock frames from Specialized. See for example https://www.specialized.com/be/en/roubaix-expert/p/115446?color=214966-115446
Although yours looks more "pointy" (like a fin) in that picture.
Could be that the OEM has a specific cover for the frame... for me it is no issue. I get a bag of spares for free as compensation; and the the shape does not really disturb.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Nice wheather yesterday here in greater Stuttgart area, so i took the chance to... no, not ride:-( but to take some pics of the (95%) final state of my 1056. I changed the stem several times; now with a Rose Race Attack I'm pretty satisfied as it matches well the frame tube shapes (flat at the top) and the matte color. Setup is "full mechanical" incl. brakes (TRP Spyre SLC). With 160mm front and 140mm rear the performance is fine for a road bike; a bit more would alway be nice (heard of magical "ceramic" pads from the far east ;-)). I tried to run the cables as smooth as possible. With the nice polished parts at the brake calipers and the crank brothers pedals I tried some aluminium bottle cages; from my point of view it matches quite well. Anyway with bottles in them you won't really recognize them anymore... Some plotted decals to be done including giving the baby a name. I think of "1a n3ra" (read: la nera") and make some fun out of the "13" raplcing "lE". Main thing is: color or black reflective? And if color: which? A well known member of this forum is supporting me strongly, but I'm still undecided...

Recommendation on 1x12 MTB groupset? I briefly read through the threads - MTB groupsets seem to be of less interest compared to road/gravel. So I'd like to ask for experences and recommendations on MTB 1x12 speed groupsets? Focus is on shifter/derailleur recommendation, but hints on HG compatible cassettes are alos welcome :-)
From what I found the Ltwoo TX (letters mixed up ;-)?) seems to be an option, or possibly Sensah XRX? I would not go for carbon cage...
Would the ZTTO 12 speed with a weight of 400g (11-50) a good idea?
Thanks for any hints!

Re: Recommendation on 1x12 MTB groupset? Thx for discussing on my question! For the Shimano SLX I read that the derailleur only works with 10 teeth smallest cog; but I can use only 11 (restricted by HG freehubs). Anyway, I ordered the L-TWOO TX set plus a Spedao 11-50 cassette. At least for the chain I stay with proven suppliers means Shimano :-)
