It's not so much that they don't retract. It's that they lock up (pads push up against the disc, as if I was holding down the lever) under heavy braking (presumably from the heat). It also becomes harder to squeeze the…
Has anyone bled these? If so, how did you do it? Did it improve your braking? My Juin tech GT (4 pistons) are locking up under heavy braking. I wonder if air or moisture has gotten into the body causing expansion under…
I’m trying to buy the CGB01 handlebars but not getting a reply back from info@carbonda.com . Anyone have a better means to contact them?

Has anyone tried fitting 650b x 2.25 (g-one all round)on the 696?

Here’s a pic of the separation starting to happen
I mounted my WTB Resolute earlier this year, they have less than 500 miles on them. I just checked the tread wear - the front looks good, but the side knobs on the rear have all started to tear off. Has anyone else…

It's a stupid question because there's a ton of factors such as type of surface/chunkiness of gravel, climbing/descent/flat, rider skill level, tire pressure, etc, etc, etc. BUT I'd love to hear everyone's takes if you…

Given the wealth of info in the Carbonda thread here, I'd personally feel more comfortable with that over the identical ICAN, although the ordering process will probably feel a lot more sketch than checking out through…
The frame you linked looks identical to the Carbonda 696, but more expensive and with a better website. I have the 696 with a custom paint job and the quality/finish are amazing. You can also check out the Tideace…
Thanks I’ll check it out. The bolt is usable for now without the O ring, but not a fan of the design. constanzadrel wrote: Waaaay back in this thread quite a few people were talking about these:…
I took the bolt off for closer inspection, and there was an O-ring that was blocking the key from fully going in. After some unsuccessful attempts to jam it back in, I sliced it up. Guess I won't be needing that…
The the stock front thru axle bolt on my 696 seems to have almost no width for my hex key to fit into. Tightening the bolt to the recommended torque spec will almost certainly strip it. I tried to jam my hex key as…
