Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 While you could apply everything you listed( threadlocker and grease everywhere ) here is what I usually do:

  • Grease for seating the headset into the head tube. Marine grease to delay rust
  • Lubricant the headset bearings Marine grease to delay rust
  • Carbon paste for attaching aluminum stem to the carbon steerer tube. No
  • Grease for treating the BSA68 threads before installing the bottom bracket. Copper grease.
  • Lubricant for the bottom bracket bearings. Marine grease.
  • Treating carbon seat tube before installing carbon seat post. Carbon paste
  • Thread lock for SRAM hydraulic brake calipers. Sometimes
  • Lubricant for for thru-axles. No
  • Thread lock for thru axles. No
  • Lubricant for crankset spindle (SRAM GXP). Marine grease
  • Thread lock for crankset spindle. No
  • Thread lock for pedals. Copper grease, they will tighten as you ride but won't seize
  • DOT grease for connecting hydraulic brake hoses to calipers. No
  • DOT hydraulic brake fluid. Buy small bottles as they saturate air quickly. Cheaper in Motorbike stores.
  • Lubricant for installation of brake disk lock rings. No
  • Lubricant for installation for cassette. No
  • Thread lock for installation of rear derailleur. No

Please tell me if there's any place where I SHOULDN'T be using anything.

Please tell me about anything you think I've missed.
Do not lubricate the frame when you press a BB use a lockcompound instead.
Do not lubricate your cassette and rings, only the chain and wipe it out after (I know many who do this, so just to say it  ;) )
Sometimes clean and lubricate the bearings in the derailleur pulleys, and your pedals.
Clean the pivots of your derailleur, the ones that move when you shift.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Hi, yes 160mm fits with adapter.

Advice: read the whole topic and note all the issues, remarks, tips in there. If you build yourself it is useful to have, if you'll ask a shop it might be useful for them.

If you have mechanical brakes the ztto hydro-mech brakes are ok, the juin tech apparently are really good(no experience myself). Do use compressionless housing, and consider external routing because they are hard to route internal.

Some tips:
Decide if you want internal routing or external to figure out which fork.
Do you want it painted? Go check what you like and pantone colours.
Headset is choice between Carbonda or FSA. The latter is slightly nicer, especially the expander works better.
Thru axles from Carbonda are OK (they used to be a bit soft, the newer ones are much better), there are better options on the market at a cost (120usd vs 25 usd for a set of fr+re).
Ask for/order extra spare parts. Specifically seat tube clamp and bottom frame guide for front derailleur cable.

I just found two spring washers loose in my bike box I assume they go to the headset? My headset was in pieces in the box when my frame arrived. Does anyone know where these spring washer go? I haven't ridden my bike yet so no harm done.

Thanks

I was trying to figure that out last night too. Best I can tell is they can be used as spacers between the compression ring above the top headset bearing and the dust cap to stop it from rubbing on the frame
