What's creaking? I will not tolerate that sort of thing.

My cockpit, if I really work it and the right side of my crank (I think). But like I said, I am not at all a reliable mechanic, so I assume that is root cause.

I ride it and I love it. Havent got it creek-free, yet, but that is most likely a me problem. The geometry is absolutly perfect for me.

Had my first ride today. Was tons of fun! I like that bike a lot. No bar tape, yet.

On these kinds of seatposts, do you still use carbon grip paste?

Yes!

Here is a very good looking option by XMCS, adding 25 mm of stack

6
XMCS also has a good looking riser on-piece handlebar. Peter sent me this yesterday, as I was ordering my frame.

7
What stem or headset "standart" do the supplied spacers fit best? I dont want to use a onepiece stem/handlebar at first so what kind of stem should I be looking for best compatibility?

8
Sorry for the silly request, but I cant find a link to the frame and I cant find it on xmcarbonspeed.com. Cany anyome help?

I’m using an alloy zero-offset post (Raceface Turbine) in my build so I guess carbon paste isn’t as necessary but my plan is to use some on the back of the post and leave the contact area with the internal clamp dry.

I accidently fused an allow seat post with a carbon frame before. I would apply carbon paste (of some sort of grease) on the seatpost, just to stop them from "melting" together.

These are the ones I install in general, because so far they are the stiffest and lightest I could find.

Road: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005939677279.html (LEXON, they build frames too but never tried)
Gravel: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004788375665.html (LEXON)
MTB: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005611032673.html (FIRE SPIDER the premium brand of Tooseek)

You can see both shops as well, they have other items.

Thank you. I boight a couple of these and ll test em. Thanks for the recommendation.

It's the same frame. Carbonda resells the Flybike stuff.

I understand that, but isnt it weird then, that the headtube measurements (HS) are off by up to 4 mm?

This is an odd question. Carbonda and Flybike each have a model called 1136 but their geometry tables differ slightly. why do you guys think that is? They should be the same frame, shouldnt they?

I am interested in this frame, but have sent two inquiries through the website and gotten zero replies. What is the best way to get a price quote on one of these frames?

Never use the contact form of the website. I tried that with different manufacturers and it never worked, even if the website would say "message sent" or something :D most have mail adresses or QQ or Skype contacts somewhere on their website.
