Has anyone found an aftermarket 696 derailleur hanger vs ordering direct from Carbonda? I need one and don't want to wait that long.

New setup on my 696... Sweep flat bar, wireless shifting, and new brakes.
Some 696 porn...towing a BOB trailer on a 150mi ride.
Its been about a year riding my 696 and I still really like the bike. But, I want to swap the drop bars for a sweep bar (easier to to mount gear on). I will be switching to MTB controls that fit on the handlebar. Has…

Can the Carbonda 696 tow a trailer? YES! The trailer is about 17lbs and the gear is about 15lbs more. No issues. Very stable. I rode the 150 mile GAP Trail this weekend. It runs from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD.

I'm still enjoying my 696. No issues to date. Here is me & my bike & my girl making the rounds on the gravel circuit...unPAved. The famous Salsa CHAISE. Chaise backstory: https://salsacycles.com/chasethechaise/ unPAved…

Has anyone used a sweep bar vs drop bar with this frame/fork? I'm thinking about doing it.

All this brake talk got me thinking... Carbonda's website lists the front rotor size as 160. Is that the suggested size or max size? Any reason why a person could not go with a 170 or 180 using an adapter?

Earlier in this thread there was discussion regarding rear axle specs. Here is what my 696 has.
Swapped the 40mm gravel tires for some 28mm road tires. Did a local hill climb...8 times. This bike climbs very well.
