I'm very envious! I ordered one day after you, and I haven't received a paint photo, a shipping date, etc.

Threaten to cancel your order saying you found a different bike locally. That's what I did and then I was told my frame was painted and I couldn't cancel.

Re: Elite Wheels ENT vs Elite Wheels SLT vs Velobuild VB-RC Also in Ontario haha, I went with the VB-RC-50-25mm with novatec 791/792 hubs since I also ordered a VB-099. Ordered Aug 17, wheels shipped Aug 24, and I picked them Sept 1. Crazy fast shipping compared to my past experiences. They look great so far, no blemishes. Only potential problem I see is the included 'tubeless tape' strip thing is not very confidence inspiring. Especially once I put some valves in. I'm probably just going to cut it off and replace with some actual tubeless tape instead of wasting time trying it.

Re: Ztto Mechanical Hydraulic disc caliper I've ordered them, delivered very quickly. Just waiting for my wheels to turn up to try them out on my new velobuild frame.

Re: jstrawks' Carbonda CFR-1056 build thread My FSA headset and Vision stem arrived today. I didn't realize the stem came with one 10mm spacer, one 5mm spacer, and the SMR to ACR adapter. I wasted four bucks buying one of those adapters. The stem comes with a compression cap that matches the contours of the stem.

UPDATE: I found another 10mm spacer in the box!

Re: Any good carbon rim you guys would recommend?

I put a CarbonBeam on the front of my ICAN, the 29er 25mm ID 30mm deep rims come on discount at around $118usd and I put a Venfort Pro 4 hub on with Pillar TB2018 spokes, total front wheel weight is around 640g, it is great, hit a bank hard enough to pop the bead but it resealed and I was able to ride out and when I pulled the tyre to clean the mud from the bead no visible damage, and no re truing required. Very happy and have the 220g venfort rear hub here waiting for CarbonBeam to go on sale again to get another for the rear.

Just wanted to add a note to this, shipping times ex china seem to have exploded. This rim here took 8-10 days to arrive from paying, I ordered another one on August 21 to build my rear wheel and now, September 19 it still hasn't arrived. I have two items in my mail tracking app from Aliexpress that claim expected delivery this coming week. Hopefully it does!

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Thanks! I'd already pulled the tube and didn't remember where it ran.

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 !

Is this carbonda Cfr 1056 similar to a branded frame ?

I think it is the same frame as the Dolan Tuono.

Wow, that is REALLY similar. My 1056 doesn't have that arc in the chainstays.

https://www.dolan-bikes.com/tuono-disc-carbon-road-frameset/

Must be the angle of the photo. It is the exact same frameset. I've got spare parts from dolan that actually have a stamp with "1056" inside.
