« on: May 21, 2023, 02:53:02 PM »...I also got these Stone chainrings for AXS. The 48/33 tooth count is a bit strange as stock AXS rings come in 46/33 or 48/35...
Does the front derailleur plays nice with the bigger gap?

Here's an orthogonal advice 
Keep your $300, save $200-300 more.
And in a few months buy yourself shiny carbon rims with bitex hubs and pilar spokes.
You won't regret it.

« on: May 12, 2023, 03:31:57 AM »... until I found out the rear brake hose had a slight leak. Mineral oil was leaking from inside my frame!...
Was the hose damaged by friction/cut or was it a factory defect?

« on: May 12, 2023, 01:07:00 AM »Email replies delayed by 1 day? After reading the word terrible in title I thought they sent cracked frame, then left you high and dry and blocked you on social media....
Thought about the same, then... oh... no... it is a first time buyer experiencing distance and other-culture communication
Don't worry Brady, be cool and nice with them and everything will be fine.

« on: May 10, 2023, 04:37:24 PM »Frame has boost spacing, so chainline 52mm is OK. Yesterday I mounted 32t oval chainring (BCD104 for PM spider) with -2mm offset (50mm chainline) and today I'll be testing. It should be also fine.
It looks ok, but maybe not a good idea.
On the 2-3 small cogs the chain crosses more than designed for, and may make contact with the cog just above.
Causing your chain to wear laterally.
I saw that on my Eagle chains, using a non boost PM.
Not a big deal maybe, but think about all those wasted friction watts

Long Travel Ride Road MTB Cycling Shorts? To me, this means I wont be able to go pee for a long time or at all during the ride. Never have liked this about Bib shorts. One has to be a contortionist wearing bib short in order to relieve oneself!
It may not work the first time, but with some practice, it comes

« on: May 05, 2023, 05:09:16 PM »Anyone else with this frame thats having problem with Sram Axs adjustment?
Tried everything i can think of and I can make it run smooth and silent but then i end up in step 1 within adjustment.
Anyone else thats out of range in adjustment?
My bet is you need some more self training, and calm practice.
Watch again the video in full.
The common harder issues are an improper chain length and a too tight B screw.
The easy ones are a bent hanger, the derailleur not screwed correctly or not well aligned with the right cassette cog, wheel axle not tightened to specs, or poor limit screws setup.

« on: May 04, 2023, 07:04:06 AM »New AXS shifter looks weird.It takes less space than before, and the ergonomic doesn't look bad, to be confirmed when testing it.
The frame is, as expected, compatible.
And you define the length of the chain... yes, in the app !

Still a part or two missing for a new build, but the big one arrived today!
One honorable mention, SRAM is now taking care about the plastic, everything is in cardboard molds.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
« on: May 02, 2023, 04:23:49 AM »...The rear shifting is poor as I had to run a fully covered cable to the rear which has made the shifting very inaccurate (sometimes you have to shift down two gears then back up one to shift down, and vice versa).
I also have a CFR1056 and struggle with keeping the headset tight.
In fairness I also have a Yeoleo R12 which I'm building and the experience there has also been unsatisfactory.
Your issues look solvable.
The poor rear shifting probably comes from the hose being chewed somewhere(if both cable and hose are new).
The headset not being tight, comes from either a nut not compressing the tube enough, or a star-nut not placed adequately and move when tightening.
Or there is not enough room for the steerer tube to go up when you tighten the top cap.
From the two above I bet your Yoeleo issues can be fixed too

If you can't get it out and back in (it is possible, see on the web how a calliper is built)
Depending on the model, there are repair kits.
But a new calliper maybe the easiest and not that expensive fix.

I did put blue oil in Shimano XT brakes few years ago, and they are still fine.
If for other reasons you get in trouble, rebleed them to the right color if you return them under warranty
