Carbonda Cfr 1056

Thanks! I'd already pulled the tube and didn't remember where it ran.

Fair, yeah I would run it over the BB.

My extra FSA spacers showed up. Now its a bit too stacked gonna have to cut the steerer a bit. But the carbonda and FSA spacers play nice together so thats good. The FSA are nice cause you cant see the area they connect from the side they look much cleaner on the bike.

The negative slop of the handlebar is insane !

45mm of spacers! That's a lot. I'm starting with 25mm, but I don't have that negative slope. I have -6 degrees.

I think it's just the camera angle that makes the slope look crazy haha. In the stand the bike tilts forward.

I just found two spring washers loose in my bike box I assume they go to the headset? My headset was in pieces in the box when my frame arrived. Does anyone know where these spring washer go? I haven't ridden my bike yet so no harm done.

Thanks

I got 'em too. I have no idea what they're for.

It looks great indeed! I'm thinking about ditching my Canyon Ultimate for this one.
One question. Are the cables passing through the headset bearings, or next to it ?

[jstrawks]

There's no way to get cables and hoses through the head tube other than inside the bearings.

I was trying to figure that out last night too. Best I can tell is they can be used as spacers between the compression ring above the top headset bearing and the dust cap to stop it from rubbing on the frame

You know, that might be exactly right. Mine seems to be rubbing just slightly. I'm going to try one or both spring washers in that spot. Thanks for this.

Looks great. Is that the carbonda bar stem?

[Parkerross]

Yep

This may still be what they're for, but they're not compatible with the FSA headset I'm using. They interfere with the pins between the dustcap and ring that goes into the top bearing. I haven't checked to see if they interfere with Carbonda's internal route headset.
