Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056

Frame is painted, now the next wait for transport  :o

So I've built a new set of gravel wheels with these hubs  ;D

Im glad I redid the spoke measurements as I ended up with 288+290 in spoke length and these lengths are perfectly tensioned JUST before bottoming out. The advice to get 290+292 would have meant unfinished business. Total weight with pillar 1420 spokes, brass nipples from sapim and 26 internal/32external width gravel rim from farsports is 1479grams.

I look forward to riding them!

I've got bontrager copy versions too, 2 were fine (and still are after 5 years). The others broke on first use. Hard to "see" which is which quality wise.

While the pictures on the site show the top hole on the blade, the (lone) hole at the top of my fork was near the base of the steerer tube. I'm not sure there's any way to tell whether your fork has the same without disassembly.

You can choose. I get both with my frame.

Some BSA frames available now. I got a message if I'd be interested in changing from PF to bsa68 to go to painting and shipment ASAP. Yes  ;D

Yes there are 2 different forks. You can choose when you order.

If you select the steerer on the website there is a list of options, one is ACR.

It's completely sold out now I think.

It should fit with the ACR conversion kit that they offer on the ACR Fsa headset.

0.75mm seems right, I'll update my post. 3 cross only.

571 erd according to spokecalc or DT gives 288/289 for front hub. You must have entered something like incorrect number of holes, try it again.
290/292 they suggest is close enough it would likely work with a short nipple, squorx, or with washers. But 16mm could be a problem.

For the front hub friction, there is a threaded ring on the non-disc side that sets preload. First undo the m3 screw locking it in place, then turn it clockwise to loosen it. You may have to hold onto the axle, but be careful not to crush it and use the wide section that is the strongest. Turn it back counter-clockwise until its just lightly finger tight. There should be no side to side play.

Quite a bit of friction is expected since there are 5 rubber contact seals inside. So it may already be ok.
While you have it open, can put some grease to protect the bearings, mine was barely greased on just one side only.

You're absolutely right! I must have made a mistake(at least a consistent one since I did try two calculators..)

I get to 288 and 289 for front and 289 with 288 for the rear.

Now waiting for the rim to make sure the erd is correct!

I intend to use sapim 14mm brass nipples, they have a continuous tread as apposed to dt so should be good. And should work well with the pillar 1420 I hope to order ASAP.

I have a Carbonda 696,perfect frame. Light bicycle wheels, good too. 1056 Carbonda on order and farsports wheelset too. Service and contact were great so far.
Carbonda sells a matching handlebar for 1056.

So I followed instructions on the website and get almost identical measurements. Offset is difficult indeed! I get to 0.75mm

7mm across at nipple bed, then 1. 5mm head, 1.25 mm depth.
3.5 - 2. 75 = 0.75mm offset.

Would these be 2cross or 3 Cross?

Received another M2 hub today, I'll post my measurements later. Asked for 36T/11s which they put, but did not add any grease.
There is a large amount of bearing friction on the cassette hub portion (bearings pressed together too hard?). This is not an issue for normal riding, only freewheeling you'll have extra resistance. On my first hub if you spin the wheel on the stand, the cranks will sometimes spin forward a bit. So I'm thinking this is the cause there.

Yes they are just pull off, held on with oring friction. Mine are not tight at all.
Where did you source the 12mm caps? I was just going to use a cylindrical 15mm adapter like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002107520669.html (36g)
This style looks similar: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32917372157.html

But now that I look at the included 9mm QR caps, could be possible to drill those out for 12mm as well.

edit:
M2 Rear 142mm x 12mm 11s road
- Flange to flange = 53.9mm (LtoC = 36.25, RtoC = 17.65)
- PCD L = 46.5
- PCD R = 53.5
- Spoke offset = 0.6mm? (I need to remeasure with a spoke)

M2 front 100mm x 15mm
- Flange to flange = 58.9mm (LtoC = 23, RtoC = 36)
- PCD L/R = 45.4
- Spoke offset =

The PCD is tough to measure. These numbers are close to the ones I linked a few pages back on ali. Only one that might be far off is spoke offset, need to double check that.

Thanks for sharing!
I must admit it is a bit confusing for me, when I put in these numbers in any calculator for a rim with 571 erd I get something in the region of 272mm spoke length. I asked ztto for their suggestions and they gave me 290 and 292mm as suggested spoke lengths.. Miles off so it seems.

I'll go and measure (or try to) myself too and see what gives.

How is the spin on your front hub? It's pretty draggy on mine, I'll see if loosening up the preload does anything otherwise I'll have to replace the bearings too I guess.

Most important Aero wise are wheels and handlebar /steerer. Those can be your own choice. (this is materials side, far mor important is the fit so I would suggest starting with a proper bike fit.)
I will never buy a bike with proprietary parts again after the nightmare I had sourcing parts for my current bike.

Thanks!

I ordered € 7,25  44%OFF | ZTTO MTB Road Bike Front Wheel 15mm to 9MM QR Skewers 15mm to 12mm Thru Axle Adapter 100x15 to 100x12 or 100x9 Quick Release hub
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMrvwzL

With the hub, this comes with the caps

75
Got the M2 hubs in too! Delivered with road body and 36t ratchet  :)
Now need to change the front to 12mm. The caps are on really tight, just to be sure: are they pull off type caps too?

Thanks!
