Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
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.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Speaking about the the bottom bracket guide and the FD: is there an aouter cable stop to operate a FD w/o integrated cable stop (like any SRAM derailleur)? I think this would be the only option if the cables run through the headset/steerer tube into the frame... thanks for any hint! I got myself an Ultegra derailleur as a backup but would like to stick with the SRAM Force hardware if possible... Yes there is, the bottom.guide has a slot where the cable stops and where you can fit one of those long-rip stops before it routes upwards To the derailleur. August 15, 2021, 01:26:08 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Frame arrived today! Like Chrismas and Easter at the same day :-) So for me the outside cable runs up to / into the bottom guide where it stops in this (attached picture). The cable itself runs upwards to the derailleur. August 19, 2021, 06:23:42 AM |

Re: Computer mount compatible for Lezyne devices?
My xoss has the same as a garmin mount so i use a garmin mount. Yours likely has a mount the same as other brands whether it be garmin wahoo or cateye. Do some research and youll probably come to find some information

Re: Computer mount compatible for Lezyne devices?
Thanks! I jsut ask myself why I did not find it... maybe because it is only available in the UK. Sadly considering shupping and customs it is double the price of an original Lezyne mount but still only the adaptor to a Garmin mount :-/ Ah! That's a huge shame. Yes, I thought that since there are plenty of Garmin mounts on aliexpress, a Lezyne to Garmin adapter would be useful. Definitely not worth it when including shipping and customs! Maybe you could purchase a 3D file of a Lezyne mount with Lezyne interface from the ebay seller and find a 3D printer service in your country? August 24, 2021, 04:02:27 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
I'm in love with the finish! The frame was wrapped with bubble wrap and foam rolls with plastic caps over protrusions. Definitely glad I went with a Carbonda over name brands (which in my country do not even have frames above 54cm). This is a 56cm frame with 110*420 integrated handlebar. I highly recommend FSA headset for the integrated version. Going for Shimano 105 R7020 and Elite-Wheels BWT. Will update with better photos in the near future.  Closeup of the BSA86 BB  Peering down the headtube. I like the look of EPS molding. The bit coming off near the green QC sticker, I plan to use some clear nail polish.  Out of focus shot of the frame in real lighting conditions.  Weight of frame+seatpost (1323g)  Weight of uncut fork (483g)  Weight of integrated handlebars (417g)  August 27, 2021, 05:08:59 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hi, yes 160mm fits with adapter. Advice: read the whole topic and note all the issues, remarks, tips in there. If you build yourself it is useful to have, if you'll ask a shop it might be useful for them. If you have mechanical brakes the ztto hydro-mech brakes are ok, the juin tech apparently are really good(no experience myself). Do use compressionless housing, and consider external routing because they are hard to route internal. Some tips: Decide if you want internal routing or external to figure out which fork. Do you want it painted? Go check what you like and pantone colours. Headset is choice between Carbonda or FSA. The latter is slightly nicer, especially the expander works better. Thru axles from Carbonda are OK (they used to be a bit soft, the newer ones are much better), there are better options on the market at a cost (120usd vs 25 usd for a set of fr+re). Ask for/order extra spare parts. Specifically seat tube clamp and bottom frame guide for front derailleur cable. September 20, 2021, 02:54:02 AM |

Re: Computer mount compatible for Lezyne devices?
I'ver run into the same issue with Lezyne mounts. On my gravel bike I run the o-ring mount on the stem. It's been alright. It does seem a little jiggly and I'll have to see if the flexy cross piece is stressing. On my fatbike the stem is way too short to fit the o-ring mount. so I used the O-ring mount onto a cateye stem mount and it fits. This the the cateye mount I'm talking about https://sportfactoryproshop.com/cateye-flextight-stem-handlebar-mount/ On my full suspension bike the stem is just slightly too short. On this one I use a cateye k-edge adjustable stem mount that I 3d printed an adapter that I screwed this barfly adapter into. This one is awesome because it eliminates the flex piece that breaks with a spring loaded cone. https://www.performancebike.com/bar-fly-lezyne-computer-head-insert-bf4lzynb-461/p-fe7rs4gc2uqrgqhe?gclid=CjwKCAjwy7CKBhBMEiwA0Eb7asy0i1ADgVQ6Ai7EcENM51pWpDUFHEKwVkVRWxuyKo2etv_qYvDiBRoCQnQQAvD_BwE September 23, 2021, 03:58:09 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Thanks. I finally got out on a ride working full time and two kids makes it difficult to get out. It rides pretty good I don't have a ton to compare it to. On gravel it's def a bit bumpier than my rondo ruut I had previous with 650b x 2.2 tires. But on road it feels really good compared to the rondo. I only did a 12 mile ride and my seatpost came loose by the end so I need to put some more carbon paste I guess. But over happy with it. Also it's a chain stay for forbidden druid MTB
