Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Carbonda 696 drain holes
« on: July 03, 2026, 12:00:45 PM »
Hey, I have not really seen any drain holes on the C696. Had it on roof rack while I drove through some rain. Few days later, after being stored in garage, I took it out to work on it. When I turned it upside down, water seemed to leak from area around top cap. Anyone with similar experiences? I just assumed the frame had some way of dealing with water that got in.

Component Deals & Selection / Looking for hollow hub axle

Hey. Looking for a hollow hub axle of the dimensions shown in picture. Tried to search around but could not find anything similar.
Its the part that QR axle goes through inside the wheel.

Is it from where the hole for the lower bottle cage rivnut was drilled? Also, looking down the seat tube gives a view of the bottom bracket, not the derailleur hanger; that can be seen by looking from the bottom bracket back towards the driveside chainstay. Generally not visible without an endoscope.

Could very well be since they are so close apart! Just in that general area :)

Thanks for the feedback. The frame is new, so judging by your responses I guess this is mostly aesthetics as you say  :)

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Carbon fiber fraying near UDH on Carbonda 696

Hey, had a look down the seat tube on my Carbonda 696. Seems there is some carbon fraying near the UDH. My guess is its from when they drilled room for the UDH bolts. Should I be concerned about it, or is that normal? See pictures

Thanks, I seemed to have forgotten to include that. Not really aware I needed to get it tho  :'(
This is one of the parts I am really not familiar with.

Is this something what I would need? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006382461947.html
Plenty of versions like external cup, zero stack, integrated etc. Not sure what would be suitable.

Also, would I need any tools to install these small parts?  :)

Does headset parts like bearings etc. usually come included? Received my frame, but only with seat tube clamp and some bolts

Ended up getting these for Carbonda 696 UDH version:

Front (L121 M12x1.5 TL17):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006778954376.html

Rear (L173 M12x1.0 TL18):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006015697723.html

Front seems to be 100% match spec wise
Rear is 1mm longer in length, but also has 1.5mm longer thread length. So seems to be close to 100% match as well

Thanks for the feedback. I wrote to Adam to confirm since I had gotten some contradicting information (I have the UDH version). This was the reply:

Hi，
What's your rear hanger version?
The normal rear hanger use 12mm dia. 171 length, 1.5p
The UDH use 12mm dia. 172mm length, 1.0p
The front fork axle is 12mm dia. 121mm length, 1.5p


The best regards!

I got the two reference pictures.I see the P value (thread distance/pattern?) is different on one of the axles you got. Is it much of a problem?

See pictures:

Hey, bought the carbonda 696 without thru axles due to some tax limits. Figured out its not so straightforward to find thru axles with right length, thread specs, thread lengths etc  :'(

Tried to search around for an aliexpress alternative, but so far no luck. Please let me know if you are aware of any. I will post pics of reference thru axle specs, when I receive from carbonda. I asked but only received for rear, will post when I have both.

The sizing (without other details) are:
F:12*100mm
R:12*142mm
