Carbonda Cfr 1056

[Aesch]

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

I have the CFR1056 as well and was thinking to change the handlebar and frame to internal routing.
As far as i remember from the build, there was no routing from the inside of the fork to the brake. Is there a fork for the CFR1056 which has a routing from inside to the brake or how does internal routing work for this frame?

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.

Frame is painted, now the next wait for transport

Hi all,

I read the thread carefully; my CFR 1056 is actually waiting ar some airport for "connecting flight".... I'm prepared to build it up as soon as it drops in. I'd appreciate some hint on the cable routing for the front derailleur (mechanical): where is the cable stop for the housing? I'll route the cable through the upper headset bearing into the frame; somewhere has to be the cable stop... how would that look like?

Thanks and greetings Michael

Most likely, you'll need to run a full outer cable from the shifter to the front derailleur. If it's a Shimano derailleur, check the manual. It has a section on how to set up the derailleur with a full outer cable.

Actually it's a SRAM Force... never seen installations with full cable routing for front derailleur; thanks for the update :-) I'll google the topic.Hopefully it works...

I had mine customized - asked them to cover the holes that I wouldn't use with carbon (cost for that was $5/hole) and it understandably appears to have added to the above estimated delivery timeline.

Do you mean the holes will be filled and painted over?

[jstrawks]

I will be very interested to learn more from your experience. Which fork did you order with it?

There is more than one fork option? I'm not seeing that on their site.

Internal routing and external routing.

These are my forks, left for full internal routing from the shifter to the caliper. Right with external routing through the fork leg.

The fork on the right has another opening for for the housing or the hose to exit the fork, near the caliper?

Finished my build of the Carbonda FM 1056 a few weeks ago.

Did you have to specify that non-integrated headset? And what headset is that you're using?

[jstrawks]

Carbonda can provide a non-integrated headset for you. This YouTuber showed it in his review:

I think that's the integrated headset. The piece he stacks at 1:49, he mentions in part three that he 3D printed that.

Yes both, otherwise you can not attach the hose to the caliper

I'm thinking of getting this frame and putting my Ultegra di2 6870 from an older cross bike on it. Anything I should consider before ordering. I like the look of the all internal but worried about fit so I'll probably just go with external so I can play with the handlebars and stem.
