The seat post already slipped when I rode it around the block. How tightly can I crank down the bolt? I'm nervous, this is my first carbon bike (I've read about others experience with the seatpost clamp not always…

I used Effeto frame protection roll on my 505. It's clear and very effective both for downtube and chainstay protection. 20£ for one meter, 48£ for 5 meters at probikekit so not cheap but very effective.…

Open do produce their own frames, Period. That said, carbonda 696 are simular in some ways. The same? Definitely no! Regarding quality of their frames. Ridley Bikes sell the 696 as their Kanzo Adventure, that should…
Even though the 505 frame is discontinued and therefore properly not very interesting to you guys, I still feel like sharing my build. Wheels are Scribe 50 wide+ with Conti gp5000 32c in road setup. For gravel I use WTB…
Forgot to elaborate, adding ground pepper to sealant is an eco friendly alternative to glitter. As I understand sealent works two ways, both reacting to air AND clogging of small particles in the hole. Glitter/pepper…
On a side note, I often add a teaspoon of finely grounded pepper to the sealent before injecting in the tubes. It does add an extra dimension to the sealing ability (and it's 100% organic, no microplastics or chemicals…
I've been running sealent in tubes for the last few years both on tarmac and gravel, mostly to prevent flats from thorns, flints and glass. They've been very successful and have reduced number of flats with about 90%.…
My normal gravel rims are 30mm deep alu rims with 40mm Schwalbe G-ones, but some times I ride 40mm carbon rims (normally my road rims) with 32c's Continental GP 4-seasons. The gravel roads around here are mostly semi…
Hi Kowalski Just curious, how would you compare the cfr505 and the Aspero? Thanks 🙂
