I have a Carbonda mtb-frame and a Yishun road/gravel-frame. Very pleased with both.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: LightCarbon gravel frame with suspension
« on: July 18, 2024, 03:38:09 AM »That looks great! Looks like a replacement for the Yishun G095-D?
It's very hard to make out the text, but it looks like it says 700x47C. If the geo is good and the clearance can be pushed a bit, that's a great frame.

"No.5 700C Racing Gravel & Road Plus Carbon Frame Kit Light Weight LCG072-D
The newest road & gravel comprehensive frame which with bottom bracket of T47*P1.0 (85.5mm) and max tires of 700C*42C

« on: April 30, 2024, 12:53:15 AM »That looks really fast! (And the wheels look far too narrow for the frame)
For me, the air does not hold as well as in the butyl tubes.
I run 35mm with 3.5 bar, after a week it's still 1.5 bar.
I had the 28s from another bike so used them. Will most likely upgrade to better tires and 32mm.
But, they will most likely look to narrow for the frame anyway as the frame takes 700x50.
Received the wheels a month ago, mounted tape, tubes and tires directly. Pumped up to ~4.7 bar.
Yesterday, before the first ride there was 3.5 bar left in the tires. So 1 bar pressure loss over a month hanging in the garage.

« on: April 28, 2024, 03:16:27 PM »Nice looking rig! Do those TPU tubes hold air well?
Thanks!
No issues with loss of air pressure with the tpu tubes so far. But haven’t ridden much yet so maybe too early to say.

Had a minor surgery, few weeks of recovery and then a couple rounds of the flu.
However today was the day for the first shake down after build. Complete with a set of Elite ENT 50mm (pillar wing upgrade) equipped with 28mm Schwalbe One and RideNow TPU-tubes.
The bike is fast, smooth and comfy. No complaints for the moment.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Puncture proof Continental Gatorskin tyres any good?
« on: March 21, 2024, 04:22:49 AM »Who in their right mind would go with the gatorskin unless you know nothing about cycling?
I run GP5k's and haven't had a puncture in over 2 years now, that's with riding a good 30,000km over shitty Australian roads.
What's your setup? Tubeless? If tubes, which kind butyl/latex/tpu?

Also Workswell.
Most frame manufacturers have an aero frame in their range.

You've added Carbonda CFT896 to your comparison. Here you go with CFR696:

Never rely on producers naming of sizes, always look at the geo tabel and compare measurements to find the right size

Big positive with many gravel frames for commuting is dedicated fender mounts. Personally I would never commute without fenders and fenders mounted to a frame with dedicated mounts are superior. Would also choose a frame with externally routed cables for ease of service.
The classic and trusty Carbonda CFR696 would be a great option. Should have enough space for studded tires, fenders and room for mud/snow clearance without clogging up. https://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/80.html
