awesome work!

could you explain more on how you filled the holes? I'm considering doing this with my frame as well

The complete geometry table.

This seems to be a rather small/short bike to me? XL with a reach of 398mm...
Any thoughts?

Regarding tire width: i can fit a Schwalbe thunder Burt 2.1 in there. So the only thing outdated on this frame is the storage box 🤷

What's the real world tire clearance on this frame? Would it fit Schwalbe thunder Burts (~53mm)?

I'm confused, is the FM356 not on the mondince homepage yet? I just see the FM346

Did you try?
I've got Schwalbe Thunder Burts in that measure 52mm and there's room to spare.

Ok, i tried and they fit but there's not enough clearance to the chain stays, just about a mm (if even that) to the knobs which is not enough. Front fits fine tough
The race Kings measure 55mm on my rims btw

Coming from a 696 and wanting some more clearance and descending confidence. A little sad that it seems this frame can't do a RaceKing 2.2".

I replaced the fender bold at the chainstay/BB junction with a flat head bolt to make it a little easier to get the wheel on and off.

I designed a screw for 3D printing that fits flush with the frame:

My wheel rim has an internal width of 22mm. However, the tire tread rubs against the rear chainstay of the frame. To resolve this, I applied a layer of transparent TPU protective film to the frame. The front fork does not need to worry about the same problem
I also have 50c Rambler tires, but I haven't installed them on the CFR707 yet. When I previously mounted the Rambler tires on the same wheelset, their actual width measured 47mm, slightly narrower than the current Rac King's 49mm. Additionally, the tread was less pronounced and easier to manage. Therefore, I don't think you need to worry about the width issue.

can anyone else report on the tire clearance? I was planning to buy Continental Race Kings 2.0 but am hesistant now after reading this. Carbonda lists the tire clearance at 50mm, so theoretically they should fit.

I ran full housing for the rear derailleur past the bottom bracket and out the chainstay. For the front derailleur, I ran the housing to the stopper in that little rectangular plastic piece under the bottom bracket and then just the inner to the derailleur. I  used a bit of the plastic guide that came with the frame to line the last little bit of the cable and hopefully keep dirt off.

Shifting has been good after getting it dialed in. The tension in the front derailleur cable holds that plastic part in, so I couldn't pull it out for the picture without having to loosen the cable at the derailleur.

I'm glad I opened it up for the picture. It looks like once of the inserts for the cover bolts is corroding so I will have to grease it really good.

I contacted Carbonda and this is the "official" way to do it. Just for the record . I decided to run full cable housing to the front mech tough as it was stated to do this in the Shimano GRX manual. This way the cable is also protected from dirt that will come off the tire at this location.

thank you!
My misunderstanding was that the cable goes into the plastic without an endcap. I was looking for a port that fits a housing endcap.

External routing - the cable housing for derailleur shifting only go up to the cable stopper on the down tube.

That's the thing, there are no cable stoppers on the down tube on the 707. Just inserts that let a cable housing pass through. It would be a clear "housing all the way" situation if not for the sliding plate for the inner cable i posted a picture of before.

Does the 707 have proper eyelets for full lenght mudguards? I'm contemplating between a 696 or 707 frameset for a commuter that I will use in rain and snowy winter conditions.

There's one mount at the bottom bracket. A bolt on adaptor to provide two mounts on the seat stays and two mounting points at the dropouts, so yeah I'd say it's compatible with full length mudguards

Hello, I believe that the cable housing should always pass through the frame, regardless of whether it is a fully internal or semi-internal routing frame. I hope this helps you.

are you sure? I just got the chance to open up the frame at the bottom bracket and it very much looks like the cable is supposed to run without housing in the frame. See photo. I just dont get where the upper endstop is supposed to be, the ports into the frame dont seem to support a cable housing endstop.

Can anyone maybe share a picture of how they wired up their front derailleur?

regarding shifter cable routing (external routing):
Can someone please clarify for me if the cable housing should be routed all the way through the frame or is the part inside the frame without a housing?
