Does anyone know where I can get spare derailleur hangers for my CFR 505? I did a quick search but can't seem to find it. Not sure if Carbonda sells them, since they sold the design to Thesis. Or that maybe the Thesis…
I'm currently running a set of WTB czr i23 wheels with 700x42 specialized sawtooth tires on my 505. I've been toying with the idea of getting a set of 650b wheels. I believe the max size for 650b is 47mm? If I wanted to…

I currently use a Praxis Alba 1x crank on my 505. After less than 1k miles my press fit evo386 Praxis bottom bracket is garbage and noisy. I don't ride in horrid conditions but evidently enough to last less than 1/4 the…
Is there a good source for 505 derailleur hangers? If I remember they might have changed along the lines. Mine is the one that the rear axle threads into it and it also has a screw into the frame towards the front of…
Any chance the compression plug has come loose/is rocking? Or the screw that tightens into the compression plug has worn it's hole to be oval front to back? I suppose once the stem bolts are tightened it shouldn't…
I think you need to adjust your limit screw. It's tough to tell from the angle of the picture but if there's no tension on the cable and it won't go out far enough then that is the likely culprit.
Does anybody have a recommendation for a bolt on top tube bag for the 505 that they like? I've read the entire thread over time but can't remember if I've seen anything. I tried the Blackburn but the bolt hole spacing…
Finally posting my 505 pic from earlier this summer. Paint job done locally and modeled after my Raleigh Willard 3 which I stole most of the parts off to build.

Does anybody in the United States have an extra cover for where the rear brake exits the frame? I bought a frame from someone local and it only had a 2 hole and no hole for what I assume are up near the headtube and…

I've finally made it through this entire thread. I'm considering picking up a new in box 505 from someone local. Can someone please confirm the correct axle dimensions front and rear for the 505 with a 12x100mm fork?…

Seems to be in unison with pedal stroke. Maybe cranks are too loose/too tight after you fixed bottom bracket, pedal loose or going bad, or chainring is loose on the crank. I have a little creak when I really hammer on…
I just got my Willard 3 delivered today. I'm having some second thoughts after seeing the paint. It appears to be a matte finish. I'm worried about durability. My full suspension bike is matte black and seems to be…
Thanks for everyone's input. I ended up with the Willard 3. I happened to check Amazon this week and it was at $841 and then told myself if it hit $800 I'd buy. Sure enough it hit $800 the next day. Then it was back to…
I'm looking into picking up my first gravel bike. I know bikes are a feel thing so there isn't one right answer for everyone. I have a full suspension and fat bike now. I'm looking for something to ride pavement/gravel…
