Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hello, my name is Vincent and I am from France. I have just ordered this frame size 58. The plan is to make a light endurance road bike. I'll give you update soon. August 31, 2020, 09:11:45 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Cables are not fully integrated on this frame, so the headset is not exactly this one but the same from FSA with a circular standard top part. It should arrive with one. For the rest I will install fizik cyrano R1 periph, and Light Bycicle wheels with dt240exp hubs. October 11, 2020, 08:36:23 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Then I went to the websites of those manufacturers and entered my measurements to get a recommendation (My size would be an S for my 172cm height / 80cm inseam). If you'd like to get more visual about it, you can import those numbers (manually) into bikegeocalc.com A S will drop your bar lower compared to the same saddle height on a M. You need to know if you are flexible enough to have your hand that low for few hours rides. But a S will have your bar nearer the saddle than a M, so you may end up less stretched to grab the hoods. A S if too small for you, can have a longer stem and a seatpost with offset. And you can usually put about 3cm of spacers max below the stem if too low. A M if too big is trickier. Straight seatpost and shorter stem are less ideal for handling. For comparison, I have both a Canyon Ultimate and Carbonda CFR505 in M(54) both with a 90mm stem and straight seatpost, no spacers. Canyon were hesitating between a S and M, when I contacted them. And I'm 178cm/89cm inseam. So very roughly about 3cm shorter torso than you  My saddle is set at 76.5cm (BB/top of the saddle) It looks difficult, but if you do your homework, it isn't that complex. The good news is that as you look to be between two sizes, both will work with some eventual adaptations  My son, is your size more or less and rides a Carbonda CFR505 S with a 110mm stem. I took it for a ride once, and it didn't feel strange. November 07, 2020, 01:32:21 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
I look forward for your feedback, especially the tire clearance, if 32mm is a conservative limit or if it is tight. Tire clearance looks good. I tested a 40mm Continental Terra Trail up front. Fits! But not in the back. But with a Pasela in 35mm it works and there is still space.     Rim is a Hydra from H Plus Son. The painted frame (sizes s) weighs 1150 g, the fork 520 g.

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
Good question -- I don't know. It doesn't look coated to me, but I attached a pic in case someone can tell that way. Almost looks like steel, but yeah most likely not coated with anything. January 15, 2021, 11:26:57 AM |

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
@carbonazza could you share which bearings you're using exactly? I bought this BB for use with a zrace hardrock crank, which has an aluminum spindle, and now I'm concerned about corrosion (steel bearing shell + aluminum spindle).I changed the bearing on my bike with the PF30 version of the BB, with 6806 bearings. The BB86 one comes with 6805 bearings with a ID of 25mm, leaving a space, well maybe too little, for the sleeve. BBInfinite provides sleeves too for GXP 24/22mm. Not sure if it is to protect the alloy spindle from the steel of the bearings( PF30 BBs do not seem to care about this). Or maybe 6805 are just bearings more common in the industry ? ...So last night I was boxing my bike for a flight. And I had to remove my power meter and therefore the cranks too...Was it explicitly requested by the airlines ? I never had any issue with rechargeable PM(P2M) on the bike. With Ryanair and TUI. Almost looks like steel, but yeah most likely not coated with anything.I was thinking alloy  Maybe try with a magnet, if it sticks or not

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
Got mine from the ZTTO official store on Aliexpress and I didn't have that trouble.

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
FYI my bottom bracket has a manufacturing defect (pic attached: the notches on one side are not machined properly. My tool fits fine on the other side and on all the other BBs I’ve installed with it). Been going back and forth with the ZTTO Official Store for three days on getting a replacement and I’m running out of patience. They keep suggesting my tool is faulty or that I’m just holding it wrong...Thats such a weird problem! I suggest you just file the notch down, should only take a second - but im sure the BB will give you plenty of life after. If you file it, the tool will still engage on all the notches!

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
Where did you all buy yours? Any affordable (<50 EUR) alternatives to recommend?You can usually find Shimano XT BBs for $30. I bought an XTR lon Ali late last year for $25 shipped. January 30, 2021, 10:07:18 AM |
