Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 It appears that the Quick Zeit Pro is a rebranded version of this Carbonda CFR 1056

This is absolutely huge for me because Quick also offers the Zeit Pro SL which is an 880g lightweight version of the frame thanks to a special T800+30TON layup.

I've always wondered if there were layup differences between various open mould frames and this is proof that yes, you can have a lighter layup to go with your generic frame. Now I just need to find out if Carbonda are the OEM factory themselves (Flybike?) or just another middleman agent. If that special layup version can be bought direct from Carbonda, we may have ourselves another Speeder/Winspace or Miracle/Yoeleo situation.

Quick also recently released their new Blade frame. Perhaps Carbonda will offer it too as the CFR 1036?

Re: VB-R-066 D Build Glad to see a thread started for the R-066.
I have one ordered and just waiting for shipment.
I decided only to get the frame from Velobuild and get rest of the parts from Aliexpress.
Once I get it, I'll weight frame (M) and post here.

Re: Carbonda 1056 - VB-R-066 - or something else? I rode the 1056 for a while and can recommend it. It's a clear endurance bike, meaning it has a more comfortable fit and bigger tyre clearance (you can easily fit 32mm, with plenty of room to spare), but with a shorter wheelbase and steeper angles (meaning more responsive handling) than a gravel bike.

Still relevant in the sense of the lack of manufacturer instructions / support though. Even the brake bleed instructions video makes absolutely no mention of the free stroke adjustment:



Will be interesting to see how early reviewers go with the stiff paddles + return of the right lever and whether these things have been fixed.

Hi

Paddle stiffness is solved (see tracevelo's video comment section), there's a screw in the ratchet to increase and decrease stiffness. The brake softness is solved with a combination of
closing the huge gap of the pistons by actuating 10-15 times the brakes without rotors and then finely adjusting the freestroke screw (you have to be super careful not to screw it too much or it pops out, it was a 2-3h pain in the ass to put mine back in). I did that to mine and now the brake is super responsive.

 And as I told to Chinacycling and Tracevelo, my paddle returning was never a real issue. Sure it sometimes does not go all the way up, but thst does not block downshifts in my case.

So in summary, levers fine (I think I prefer the clean design of Sensah, but it doesn't bother me to have the side lever), brakes are fantastic, front derrailleur is perfect. Rear derailleur ... So so. I have some issues with my chain (gx eagle) jumping around near the lower pulley when downshifting + going to small chainring at the same time. It sometimes lands at an inclined angle. I have replaced the lower pulley with a narrow-wide profile one (in my opinion, the original should have been like that) and it has definitely improved, but still the shifting is not as crisp as I would like. Maybe with a sram flattop chain or with a chain from other manufacturer. Or maybe with another casette.
