Looking for some inspiration photos of fully loaded CFR696 for multidays bikepacking. Any one?
I think it is a headset issue. The fork is not sitting properly. You can see some play in the video edit. Best to get a monitor and fullscreen it. https://imgur.com/a/HikVNiF chuckaeronut wrote: Hi folks! I built my 696…
After almost 2500+ km of gravel and road mix.... (could be more but covid-19, got me lock down most of the time), the 696 is doing superbly. Utterly comfortable when doing long brevets. Had a bad crash beginning of the…
Hi Everyone, Own a 696 and done like a couple of thousands KM on it already. Loving every moment of it. The frame is fantastic once you dial it in! Gearing up for a solo camping trip. Need a bit more space for the stuff…
Finally the final build is done. Waited 2.5 months for the rims and another couple of weeks to get them build. Total build up time almost 2 years! #adventurebike #endurancebike #timetohittheroad #socomfy
Is it the same dimensions or is it from Carbonda? No one could tell me that. The old Ext-C as always caught my mind but I went for Carbonda instead as I could get more of my wish list build with the similar selling…
Cool built. Which model of lauf are you on? freakforti wrote: just completed my 696 - rides great - priod ;-))
Just a question which I never really did understand nor figure it out, what or how would a drop seat stay benefit gravel riders? Is it purely only for aesthetics?
Compression plug is normally included in the headset. However, I will really suggest you drop an email to Wing to be absolutely clear. With this, you can claim it if missed out without any headaches. . Times like this…
Clarify this and everything you are not sure with Carbonda prior to purchase. Hensem wrote: Hi,guys! Carbonda 696 comes with compression carbon fork plug or without? Do I need buy separately?
Yes. jsc333 wrote: New poster here - just getting things together for a build and I will post an update when all bits are here. On the CFR696, the Carbonda site says 160/140 rotors (discs) - does anyone know if it will…
I am on 1x 42T oval, AB running perfectly fine. Oval rings are a bit different that normal ones. Their teeth are design a bit "taller" to help with the stay during odd angles when shifting. NorthboundRick wrote: I was…
If Carbonda has not sent your bike, you can email them to include it. GravelCat wrote: With all this headset talk, I did not order the factory one that comes with the CFR 696 frame. Can someone suggest what after market…
Thanks also for the hint RLB. The main culprit was the weight weenie expander bung I was using. Thought I was being smart by saving a few grams by having a carbon cap and Ti screw. Since I am running a bit tall on the…
Exactly Colt. Thanks for the hint. It OK now. I was using a weight weenie headset previously. The carbon top cap is a bit soft and had some bending in it when applied tension. I resorted back to Carbonda headset and it…
Hi all, Need some advice. Am running on Carbonda headset. This morning i noticed it have developed some very minor play especially during hard braking. between the fork and frame. Anyone encounter this before? Thanks.…
Thanks. I set them up as tubeless. Hopefully, lesser punctures. Alex_C wrote: Looks fun. The Giant crosscuts are good rollers but they seem to puncture easily from my very limited experience.
Completed my 696 a couple of weeks or so ago. Build with allroads endurance long distance riding purpose in mind. Been testing it and working out all the kinks . Some main points... Running Di2 1x Ultegra R8070 groupset…
I am on 700x40mm, 49 696. size 9. Very slight toe overlap. nublar wrote: I have a size 49 and I wear size 10 shoes. 700x35 is good with no toe overlap but anything bigger would have toe overlap which is why I have to…
For those who are interested. This is my 696 brake bolts used for BR-R8070 hydraulic rotors setup and please remember to install the snap rings and fixing pins. I am running F:160mm R:140mm Front Caliper Fixing bolt A…
