Not sure if this has been posted before on this looooong thread. I decided it would be a good idea to have a spare rear derailleur hangar and they've been upgraded along with the axles. Carbonda CFR-505
Used a new PC-1170 chain - fitted to suit but yes - most would have to use a longer chain if it was properly sized on the smaller cassette.
Posting this information for those wondering if this combination will work. Maximum cassette size listed for a Force WiFli RD is 32T. Wanted to try an 11-36 11 speed SRAM Cassette (1170) for an upcoming race with a…
Just an update photo on my build with fenders using 35mm Schwalbe G-Ones. Had the bike for over a year and a half and use it for almost all my cycling needs (except the weekly hammerfest - looking at the aero frame for…
@ Zurichman, @ Mosinglespeeder - my build was just under 19lbs (8.5 kg) weighed without pedals on a cheap luggage scale. @ graveltime - the % saved over and spec bike from a bike shop can vary with how resourceful you…
@ mosinglespeeder - My impressions so far. Bike is a great multi purpose bike. I'm using Schwalbe G-ones and they are a fast rolling tire. I find that the bike is nice and stiff when you want to get the power down from…

@unagidon - no seat post slippage but I used carbon paste on assembling. I'm not a light weight and had a couple solid rides that would have tested the integrity of the seat post and it is solid.
@bruto - In CX set-up, I use 32-35 mm tires with the lowest gear being 34-28 or 34-30 and in soft conditions or very steep conditions, I get rear wheel slip. It's faster for me to dismount and run than ride so I…
@ swimion - Thanks. Paint scheme was easy. I sent Adam @ Carbonda a few pics from the web showing the basic design and colour scheme that I wanted and in a few short days he sent me a graphic mock up of my request. @…
Hi all - just posting a pic on my final build. (for those who asked) Built with: SRAM Force 22 Shifters SRAM Force WiFli Rear Derailleur and Cassette (11-32) SRAM Force Yaw FD SRAM Force 50 - 34 Crankset Stan's No-Tubes…
@ piersojs I went with the headset provided from Adam - no issues. Also, he thru axles provide work just fine (although I am in the process of machining up a set for myself of titanium) - Just finished my build and it's…
SOLUTION - TAKE THE WHITE TUBE OUT AND THE FISH THE BRAKE CABLE THROUGH - EASY PEASY. When I pulled out the white tube it had severe kinks in it no allowing me to use it as a guide. Once I removed it, I just fished an…
There's a problem in that the white tube is only sticking out of the down tube. It is not exiting at the rear chainstay, so at the moment, I cannot tape the brake tube to the white tube and pull it through. Has anyone…
I'm about done my build but I'm stuck at the internal rear brake line. The bike came with a white tube exiting near the front of the down tube (see photo). I assumed that this tube would be to fish my hydraulic line…
I'm just starting to build up my frame (looks great) and have a question about the orange tubing for the shifter cables. Do you pass the shift cable through the orange tubing or do you connect the cable to one end of…
Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get the frame delivered. I put an order in last week with a custom paint (two tone) and was curious what the typical wait time is to have the frame delivered Thanks canflyboy
Just ordered my frame from Adam. Going with Sram Force 22 Hydro shifters/brakes with WiFli RD - 11-32. Stan's Grail Tubeless with Schwalbe G-0nes. Was initially going to build up a wheelset with Hope Pro 4 hubs but…
