I'd ask Carbonda to fix it. The frames may be cheap but they should be fully functional. If they refuse to make it right be sure to let us all know so we can avoid them in the future.

Here is mine. Only one ride so far but it was fast and smooth. Sadly with the road salt it will go into the basement till Spring.
That is exactly the spot I had a chip of carbon come off as well. This happened when I build the bike up, brand new. I contacted Carbonda about it. They never offered a replacement and said it would be fine to ride…
Interesting to me as the Strada pro and gp5000 are my favourite tires. I have a set on order with lbs of the n.ext but can't decide on 32c or 34c.

Can the CFR1056 go larger than 32c? I have gp5000 32c but they measure 34mm. Would this fit in the CFR1056? Geometry looks great for an endurance bike.

Here is the 696 in Azure blue, RAL 5009, gloss. Looks very nice in person. Now that I have a small heater in the garage I am planning to start the build. I have a few questions on cabling. 1. From what I see the default…
The norco section a1 is my bike as well. With a crankset upgrade and carbon wheels it is one of the best bikes I have owned. I do 20 gravel, 80 roads on either gp5000 32c or gravel king slicks 32c for winter.
I've got the wr38 with dtswiss 180 hub. With GP5000 32c they are great. I have put about 8k on mine, no issues.

What do people recommend for cable disc brakes for CFR 696? I just ordered the 696 in 52 and Wing told me that Juin Tech F1 will not work with size 52.
