You could try changing out the part that goes in the bars with OT-RS900 from Shimano, more flexible than Jagwire.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda CFR-696, DIY Paintjob

Changed the crap bearings they come with and love them! They are like riding on rails and are rated for 125kg-275 pounds. I´m sure they will outlast me.

142 standard end-caps should fit just nicely.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Carbonda CFR-696, DIY Paintjob
« on: July 14, 2023, 10:18:46 AM »
Disclaimer: I am a Bike Mechanic by trade. My one man shop is the Elves build and mounting central for the region the agent oversees, in this case Scandinavia.
So was looking for a Gravel bike for myself, and since Elves dont make any, I chose a Carbonda CFR-696 instead. I´ve built a couple of Triaero/Ican X-Gravel for some customers, but I´m not a fan of the thru-axles they provide, soft and 5mm hex instead of 6mm. I do like the cable stop/thru-hole in the steerer tube, BSA box and 27.2mm seat post. Build quality is as usually on par, if not better, than some name brands.
So I ordered a frameset in size 54cm in standard finish, Matt Black with the intention to paint it myself, Etoe, Martin on Youtube made a tutorial on how to paint Marble finish in Hypershift I chose a subtle shift, Gold-Red-Purple. After a 3 stage cut and buff it looks very nice.

Build List:
Drive Six wheels
Shimano XT 6 hole 160mm discs
Deore 10 speed 42-11 cassette
Panaracer Gravelking SK 38mm
"NX" Chinese crankset 36T Chainring
Nutt Mechanical brakes
Jagwire Pro housing
XLC Stem and bar
PRO bartape
BBB Seat post and Bontrager Montrose saddle
Sram Apex 10 speed shifters
GX long cage rear Mech.
