This one might be the base of my new future dropbar mtb.
Specs say 1x Drivetrain Only but pictures show front derailleur cable routing... 🙄

29er / XC wheelset, in stock and fast hipping
« on: September 02, 2026, 04:24:33 AM »
I'm in need of a new carbon 29" wheelset. Pretty standard, boost, 30mm internal, asymetric, light-midweight, ratchet hub wheelset. I need them first week October, western EU. Do you know of any seller that can meet these delivery times and have these wheels on stock?
I see a lot of gravel and road wheelsets shipped from EU on AE but no MTB wheels.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Xiamen Carbon Speed D40CU-33, tire width
« on: May 11, 2026, 08:21:29 AM »
I have the above rim/wheelset together with a Carbonda 505SL frame. The tire clearance of the frameset is max 42 mm.
I'm looking for new gravel tires. Currently I'm running Specialized G-ONE RS Pro in 35 mm. With an upcoming gravel event combined with a bikepacking trip around the South of Norway, I'm looking for more comfort by going for a fatter version preferably the R Pro. 40mm wide would be no problem for the frame I guess. But would a 45mmm fit? How wide actually is it on that rim?
Do you have the above XMCarbonSpeed D30CU wheelset and one of the tires mentioned above (being RS/R or RX), would you mind by measuring the actual width of the tire on that rim? You would really help me decide. Thank you!

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Carbonda 505SL big headtube
« on: March 25, 2026, 08:37:06 AM »
Carbonda's 505SL headtube is big. At least for the L size frame that I have.
I'm using a semi integrated solution with the use of a FSA SMR stem. I removed the one spacer that I had on there right after the first two test rides, I can't go lower than this, the cable cover together with the bearings topcap are required I guess.
What solutions do you see to achieve a bit lower position on the bar with the stem I currently run?

My bikeshop owner also noted, when the bike was ready for pick up, that the upper dust cap contacted the frame. At least that is what I think he meant. This is with FSA SMR stem. He said he managed to work with it by creating a custom spacer of some sort. I didn't take it apart to have a look.

Isn't Curve Cycling a Australian company? Beautiful Ti frames and it checks your wishes I think.
I'm a Carbonda CFR-505 SL owner. I just ride it for two weeks now, just came home from a 250km overnighter/onenighter. I have SRAM 1x setup now but with a 2x setup and an extra wheelset, I can really see this bike as a potential great gravel/road-combo-bike!

I finally have my Carbonda CFR-505 SL build all ready to go. I didn't find the time to do it myself, couldn't wait any longer so I brought it to a new bike shop (and found out this guy really pays attention to details). Took it for a first spin, setup correct saddle height and tire pressure for this bike. First impression:
- it's light (8.1kg), I am used to having a steel 10.5kg gravel racer.
- it's responsive, almost twitchy, I guess this needs time getting used to
- tire pressure is key, there is very little room for flex in this frame
Details:
Frame - Carbonda CFR-505 SL, size 57-L
Wheelset - Carbon Speed CS-D40CU-33 with Schwalbe G-one RS, 35-622
Stem - FSA SMR 110mm
Crankset - SRAM Force DUB Wide with 46T chainring
Groupset - SRAM Force/Rival/XPLR AXS with 10-44 cassette
Tell me what you think.

Wouldn't this affect the chainline too much?

Nobody? I could offcourse play with Q-factor, moving the crank 1-2 mm to the drive side by playing with different spacers (instead of standard 2.5mm (nonD) / 5.5mm (D)) but I rather not do that. Who's got experience with the frame and bigger (>42t) chainrings?

Carbonda specs read max 42t chainring when running 1x. I have a SRAM XPLR groupset with Force DUB Wide crankset,
Is it possible to run bigger chainring because of DUB Wide? I would like to use 46t.
