Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
How much did you tighten the BB guide? I've had frames with a similar issue, but it turned out I screwed the guide in too tight. Different tightening would not change the situation here, I guess... because the guide is tightened from the outside. Well everything is in place now and works; I'm in contact with Wing for some more spares and part of the are two additional BB guides. Usually if I have spares in stock I do not face an issue. So those are my Voodoo dolls ...:-) Btw. the bike is built up; different stem is ordered for better cable routing. Bottle cages I'll also change once I come across some decent ones...

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
So, after the first few rides and tinkering a bit with setup, brakes etc I'm Really happy with the bike. It rides really well, handles nicely and predictably and is comfy for long rides (3h +). In direct comparison with my other bike it takes slightly more effort to keep up higher pace. I wonder if I'd notice if I would not have been able to ride the bikes back-to-back. It also "feels" slightly slower generally but I think that's due to the different tyres, where I ride this bike on vittoria corsa controls at 29mm wam (5 bar ~70 psi). The other bike is rim brake and I use pirelli race 27mm wam (5.4 bar, ~80 psi) . Power wise it's not noticeably different at anything other then the above mentioned higher pace. Maybe the extra 0.5kg also matters slightly. The build is a mix of GRX and Ultegra components, due to availability and cost as well as preference for hood shape, ergo wave braking and (now it finally functions) the clutch on the rear derailleur for the "light gravel" round I intend to ride too. I routed the shifter cables outside to prevent shifting issues (it shifts better then my other mech shifting bike where everything runs internally). Main components: 1056 frame (58) and 1036 handlebar (11x42cm). Grx 810 shifters, hydro brakes and rear derailleur. Ultegra 50-34 crank175mm, 11-32 cassette, Rd8000 front derailleur and hg701 chain. Ultegra pedals. Farsports Feder 45mm, 28mm outside 21 inside on carbon ti hub, brass nipples and cx sprint drive side spokes (unbelievably light combination), vittoria corsa control 28mm, latex tube. Xtr rotors 160mm front and rear Small parts: Sq labs active 612 14cm Close the gap garmin mount + bell ZTTO handlebar tape (very much like lizardskin, recommended!) Tacx bottle holders Bontrager flare light Total weight 8.3kg Issues while building : The front cable guide , with the new guides in the house I'll replace it with a proper one as soon as I feel like swapping the front derailleur cable. The rear axle drive side "holder" was tight. Replaced it with one of the spares and problem solved. The lower screw of the front brake caliper is quite tight, I guess some resin left over, it works and holds well however it was not super easy to get the caliper in perfect position. And I forgot to add cable foam on the rear hydro brake cable brakes are super tight now so I don't feel undoing "just because". Left to do: Find rubber grommet for the hydro hose entry point on the front left, which I don't use. Anyone know a fitting one? Decide whether I want to go down another 5mm or keep it like this.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
My 1056 is starting to come together. I also added a MTB chainstay protector I had laying around. This is 650b with 42c rene herse pumpkin ridge tires they measure to 40mm (I have about 2.5-3mm on each side of the tire of clearance) on a 21mm internal wide rim. I'm planning to run the 650b for gravel and 32s or 35s on 700 for mostly tarmac rides probably either gravel king slicks or rene herse bon jon or stampede pass. I ended up snagging a deal on some DT swiss carbon rims ERC1400 in front and HGC1400 in rear instead of going china direct. Also if ordering the 1056 ask for extra headset spacers the fact they only provide 2 is so dumb. Luckily I found some FSA ones at a shop currently enroute to me. September 20, 2021, 11:16:05 AM |

Re: Carbonda CFR-696 (Flybike FM696) Gravel Frame
I've got one. Ordered in december. First self build and first gravel bike for me The contact, painting, shipping and frame quality overall was good and I would trust carbonda again. I just got a little confused with the triple port piece because I ran full housing Here is my full build specs, 2250€ in gravel setup with a powermeter and without accessories. 8.4kg without accessories iirc (weight might be a little off because I didn't weigh grease, sealant, chain was weighed uncut, forgot to weigh tires so used the advertised) https://lighterpack.com/r/vejggg I'm gonna be honest: Despite it being 95% finished for months, I don't ride it. I've taken it on a couple short test rides and I find the geometry very awkward. The stack is extremely low and I have more spacers than on my road bike and still don't have as much stack and the frame has a HORRIBLE toe overlap issue. No other words, it's atrocious. Don't understand how I had not seen anyone complain before I bought mine I would go with carbonda again, but certainly not for a 696. September 28, 2023, 09:18:59 AM |

Re: GR029 thru axle warning.
I guess the GR029 is considered more of a CX than a gravel frame so I'm posting this warning here. I don't get the logic of some sellers. Just include the f**king thru axles and raise the price. It's just more hassle for the buyer. January 17, 2024, 07:44:48 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hello everyone, I received the pictures from Wing today and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread and given me, and I'm sure many others, the chance to learn from the mistakes and tips of you. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to build my own road bike as I'm extremely interested in the mechanical part and not only in this wonderful sport. Over the last few weeks, I have studied this thread from front to back several times to familiarize myself with the frameset and its peculiarities. On May 13th the time had come and I sent the first mail to Carbonda. Just one day later, Wing sent me the price list. I decided on a two-tone glossy color. Once I had paid, it took a few weeks but today I received the pictures of the painted frame. I am super happy with the color choice and hope that the frame arrives as soon as possible so that I can start building it. I will keep you up to date when the frame has arrived and the assembly can start For those of you who are interested I have attached a list of all the parts I have ordered.
