After a few dirty rides resently I have found that my reat triangle gets filled with water. I think it enters through the rear derailleur and rear brake cable holes.

There are no plastic covers for those holes as far as I can tell. Has anyone else come across this issue? Do you have covers for the holes?

Yeah the seat mount on the PRO dropper is a bit weird but once I had the saddle mounted and tuned it’s been solid. So for me it’s not really a show stopper. Haven’t tried the oneup so I can’t compare the two but I think the PRO one works well and is a good deal including the lever, cable and all.

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading the posts on the Carbonda frame for a long time now... I have now finally had the first few rides on my bike. It took just about 6 months to get the frame from ordering it back in September.

The build is full Shimano XT, Rock Shox SID ultimate 100mm, Rock Shox SID Luxe 165X40, Rims and handlebar are Carbon from Carbonda, PRO Koryak 150mm dropper post, Ergon Saddle, Alu stem. The build came out to 11.4Kg.

Please check out my Shimano SPD M737 pedals from the early 1990s. It was such a great day when I received these pedals all those years ago not having to run clips any more. I have been running them on and off on bikes since than and they are really holding up well. When I couldn't source the pedals I wanted for this bike I decided to mount them and they make my day!

Compared to my prior hardtail bike it is a really long, big bike but it rides extremely well. It feels light and nimble, it turns in really quick in the tricky stuff and climbs better than most bikes I have ridden.

I'm really happy with how the build turned out and how it rides! Keep up the good work sharing your thoughts and builds and thanks for all the inspiration!
