Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda 505SL Integrated Stem
« on: August 28, 2024, 03:59:14 AM »
Hi, I made a lot of miles or kilometers as we say in Germany on the 505SL an I really like the bike. I just struggle to find a nice cockpit. Looking for one piece, 400/100 with 12-20 degrees of flare. Any suggestions? I am a bit scared to buy the one on ali as it as a crucial safety component and I want to avoid risks. Has to be ACR compatible and no Metron/Vision.

How do you protect the chainstay?

I think it likes corners ;-) I am 80 kilos and the 505sl isn't wobbly at all.

Bike is ready and fun to ride. Setting up was easy with the help of a friend, just stem/handlebar was tricky. I decided to go for semi integrated as I love my cheap PRO Discover handlebar. Like so many others I had to learn that FSA headsets only go with FSA stems, so I ditched my favorised Specialized stem. The first FSA ACR/SMR built quite high and although we cut the fork quite conservatively it was too short... So I went for the FSA ACR stem which works fine with 10 mm spacer which will maybe be reduced. Now I needed an integrated handlebar and was surprised that there are not too many on the market that fit. I wanted a little flare so went for Ritchey. All the others have too much flare or no flare or, like deda, 31.7 mm instead of 31.8. Seems like everyone has his own systems and makes sure nothing fits.... I am quite happy with the bike. Unfortunately I had to install lights as winter is coming and it gets dark early.

Hi, my 505SL arrived after 5 weeks in customs... Already build up, looks great! Only problem so far I choose FSA ACR headset, seems to work. I go for semi integrated to be flexible.
Which semi integrated stem will work with FSA? Right now I mounted a Specialized SL7 stem but the spacers do not fit...looks weird.

Seems to be their new frame. Just write to carbonda and ask for it. Geo almost similar to the classic 505 (not on their hp either but can be googled) https://www.carbonda.com/road/gravel/cfr505.html Small changes were made and it is 200 g lighter. Mine is in custom for almost 3 weeks now....

Hello Carbonazza, the photo shows the included headset and what seems to be a dust cover. On top of that I need the Ritchey cover? Sorry for asking again will be my first integrated stem...

Hi Carbonazza, do you think the Specialized SL7 stem would fit? Do I need anything else? Headset?

Katie sent this photo and wrote: "The headset size is 1-1/2"* 1-1/2”ACR". As soon as the frame arrives I can provide photos. Should be in Germany in 10-20 days.The one attached also came from Katie@Carbonda. Right now I prefer the Specialized SL7 stem, not sure if it fits and if I need something more like another headset. I am not building up myself, a friend does the job. But I want to have everything ready. Right now I have a Carbonda 696. Very good gravel bike, just made the mistake to buy a size too big. Like many others... So now I'll try the 505SL.

Hello, I am going for the new 505 SL. I ordered the non-integrated version which would take a little bit longer to deliver. So I decided to swap to the integrated version. Has anyone experience which integrated stem would fit? I prefer to have handlebar and stem separat for easier maintenance. Thank you for suggestions.
