Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
OK thanks, I've managed to find the frame is 2cm so the bolts should be 33mm (for anyone searching).

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
The bird has (crash) landed  Amazingly it looks to be unscathed. Only a slight paint notch at the seatpost hole. Paint is Cameleon blue with a matt finish. From other angles its dark purple - I'll add more pictures later. Order date: 17-05-2021 Arrival date (in Denmark): 19-08-2021 Will be building it up this weekend.

Finally finished my build, and of course it a rainy day After a couple of rides I'll give some impressions and specs, with some better pictures.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
It arrived. I'm stoked on the color it looks way better than the photos they sent me after it was painted. I was worried when I got the photos but happy with it in person. I photo shopped what I plan to do for logos I designed. I only took a non drive side photo so I flipped the frame in the photoshop so don't mind it being wrong haha I'm aware.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Mine is out for delivery today. Will update with photos later. Forgot to ask for headset spacers. Guess I'll pick those up locally. September 01, 2021, 07:42:59 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
I don't think my frame is taking too long, even if other people have had theirs a bit faster. I'm just eager to get it. I received photos of my finished paint last night! Delivery will be scheduled. The third photo was to show me that I wasn't getting a frame with the "fin". September 02, 2021, 06:48:48 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Wheels are Hunt 4 Season All-Road. Very nice budget wheelset for this type of bike. 20mm wide internally. https://eu.huntbikewheels.com/collections/road-cx-disc-brake-wheels/products/4season-gravel-disc-road-cx-wheelset-1589g-24deep-24wide Tires are Vittoria Terreno Zero 32c setup tubeless.  This setup has seen shit.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
I have a couple of road races coming up with significant amounts of gravel sections, so I have been trying to maximize the tire space in the frame. The split for one race is around 15% tame gravel/85% asphalt and 45% tame gravel / 55% asphalt for the other. I have been looking for high volume road tyres with lower rolling resistance compared to gravel tires. I currently have Vittoria Terreno Zero's in 32c and they are very puncture resistant but noticeably slower than a road tire (as it probably should be). Very good if there is a high risk of punctures or a need for more grip. Schwalbe have a 34c model of their Pro One Evo TLE which I picked up. I mounted them on Light Bicycle WR45's which are 25mm internal (hooked). They measure 33,5mm. Surprisingly there is still a bit of space. Obviously they are narrower than advertised but it probably also has to do with the lack of knobs and that the wide rim gives the tire a lower profile. I would say if you have wide rims the bike could probably handle a 35mm WAM slick tire if you can live with minimal mud clearance. Anyone wanna sponser me some Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass ?

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
My last update was 1st of februari, saying: "Flight waiting to take off". I wonder if the flight ever left the ground.Eventually I got the frame the 9th of february. Without any status update (still showing "Flight waiting to take off") a courier all of a sudden delivered a big box.  See some photo's attached for the result of the paint in the frame. I'm VERY satisfied how this turned out. Got the last bits to build the frame up just yesterday. Hoping I can make a start this weekend! Keep you posted!    BTW: Sorry for the late update.
