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.
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. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gjV9bixkU99t6LPHA 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.
