Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Assisting Force AF01
« on: September 01, 2026, 11:31:55 AM »
Hi all, after riding my CFR696 for 6 years, the top tube got bumped and cracked.  After much hesitation between going with a brand new complete bike and ordering the AF01, I finally ordered the AF01 Standard size M.  Wing has been very patient and comprehensive with all my requests and questions. Order was placed on August 17th and the paint job was completed August 31st.  I asked for matte black with the minimum logos also black.  Il will be transferring most of the parts from my 696 to the AF01. 

I was hesitant with the sizing but I found out that the AF01 size M and the Checkpoint 2026 size M have a very similar geometry except for the top tube slope angle.  Not the same but on paper, it seems very close.  I had the chance to try a Checkpoint so I'm pretty sure I got the right size.

More pictures to come when the build will be complete.

Fat Bikes / CS-197 Rear brake installation
« on: December 25, 2017, 10:10:03 AM »
I'm building a CS-197.  So far so good except for the rear brake installation.  I'm trying to fit a Tektro Novela using the bracket supplied but the space is too narrow too fit the calliper.  Should I use another type of calliper (flat mount) or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your help!
