If you do use the FSA bearings like me and you get a rubbing between the top of the frame and the plastic FSA cover you can buy a bunch of these spacers and that fixes the problem.

Gravel build with SRAM Eagle GX,  Force 40t. Light carbon wheels with 45mm tyres.   The first frame arrived damaged and Wing immediately built a replacement.  Very happy with the result.

I've just built my Carbonda, are you wanting front wheel dynamo or rear?  I found the rear hydraulic exit was quite tight but the front I think would be able to squeeze in some cables.  Could easily widen the hole if not

thanks that an option but i've already got my aero bars.  also the advantage of a round profile is you can adjust the angle easily

Hi I ordered an RXL sl handlebar but the round middle section is not wide enough to allow clip on aero bars.  Does anyone know a brand that has a wider round central section but with an aero profile as well.  I'm building an endurance bike so looking for the most comfortable hand positions.  thanks

Ben, thanks for the reply...so semi integrated better.    Im not fussed about aero but a clean look is preferable, at least if i can undo the bars there will enough slack for packing it away.

im also thinking about getting a suspension stem like redshock for longer rides where in the past I've suffered. 

i will sort out the stem and bars once ive got it here.

Is it worth buying the bearings and spacers or do these limit my choices?

after quite a bit of searching im going to get the carbonda 505sl.  Looks very similar geometry to a roubaix.  might add a redshock stem if i want some more comfort but hopefully with 32mm road tyres that should be good enough.

Hi Im about to order a 505 sl to use for bike packing so will need to take it apart.  If I went with the stem bar that they supply with integrated cabling is it possible to leave enough slack in the brake cable so i can remove the bars for transport.   Ill be on sram wireless so only brakes.

thanks

Hi can anyone recommend a frame that would be similar to a specialized Roubaix.  Room for light gravel tyres but good for long distance road.  Disc brakes and reasonably light.

Hi did you ever get this bike built I am thinking of doing the same. Eg light and disc di2
