Carbonda CFR-1136

Delivery typically takes 2-4 weeks after paint (paint adds ~3 weeks). Carbonda offers shipping with tax & duty prepaid (DDP) for about $195 to Europe, so no additional customs fees.

The frame is available. Contact Carbonda via email (e.g., sales1@carbonda.com) to order.

Most riders with these measurements choose size L (56cm) or XL (58cm). For a more endurance-oriented fit, L is often preferred; for a longer reach, XL. It is best to compare with a known bike geometry using bike-stats.de.

Officially 32mm, but users have fitted 35mm tires with a little room to spare. At the chainstays, 35mm may rub under load; for safe use, stick to 32mm or less.

The frame is designed for FSA ACR headsets (IS52/28.6 upper, IS52/40 lower). The FSA NO.55R 1.5 ACR is a popular choice. The fork has an integrated crown race, so no separate crown race is needed. For non-integrated routing, a semi-integrated headset like FSA NO.69 SRS or Acros is52 ICR may be needed.

Yes, if you order the semi-integrated version (with cable ports on the down tube). For full integration, you need an ACR-compatible cockpit. Some users have adapted Specialized SL7 stems with custom spacers.

It uses a BSA threaded bottom bracket (English thread). This is preferred by many for ease of maintenance and reliability.

As of early 2026, Carbonda has not yet updated the CFR-1136 to UDH. They have indicated it may come in the future (4-6 months from early 2026). The current hanger is a standard replaceable hanger specific to Carbonda.

Yes, the integrated version with 1056 handlebar is suitable for Shimano 105 mechanical 2x12s.

It originally came with CHB-1036 (reach 69mm), but now comes with CHB-1056 (reach 75mm). You can request a swap if available.

The frame is designed for 140mm rotors; for 160mm you need a flat mount adapter.

For the rear derailleur, use the opening under the bottom bracket. For the front derailleur, the best method is to remove the front derailleur mount and route the cable through the hole behind it, rather than using the small rubber grommet on the seat tube. Some users enlarge the grommet or use a different routing path.

Insert the rear hose into the chainstay opening, guide it through the bottom bracket shell up into the down tube, and exit at the head tube.

Ensure the compression ring (FB-GUO-333) is installed correctly between the bearing and steerer, and that the top cap does not contact the steerer tube.

It is a spacer for the headset bearing to prevent the plastic spacers from rubbing against the paint/steerer tube.

Frame weight varies by size and paint. Reported weights: size S ~1011g, size XL ~970-1000g, size L ~1135g. Fork weight ~460-502g uncut.

The 1136 is a refined evolution: stiffer, lighter (by about 100g), and with better power transfer. It has a similar endurance geometry but is slightly more aggressive. The 1136 also features a tapered head tube for full integration, while the 1056 has more traditional cable routing options.
