Mechanical disc calipers (Klampers) on TD4
Will the TD4 support the use of a Paul Klamper brake caliper on the rear? Or is a smaller caliper body required?
TD4.2 is verified to work with Klampers. 4.0 is not verified.

Split Crown Race Source
You mention using a split crown race on the Spork 3. I think a Chris King dropset2 would be what I’ll use, but what split crown race should I get?
Thanks, BillyBilly,
This FSA race will do the trick:
Be careful to match the contact angle of the bearing. The FSA has a 45 degree contact angle. Cane Creek makes a great lower race that has a 36 degree contact angle if needed.
- DropSet 2, DropSet 5, and AeroSet 1: 45° x 45° lower bearing (52mm)
- DropSet 3 and AeroSet 2: 36° x 45° lower bearing (52mm)

TD3 chain guide
Hi,
Do you guys have a recommendation for a chainguide for a TD3.0? Do I need any special mounting hardware?
Thanks,
BryanBryan,
We haven’t fitted a chain guide to any bikes that we’ve built. We’ve seen customers do it, but haven’t found it to be necessary. The mount would need to mount to the front derailleur hanger mounting bolts, or the front derailleur hanger itself. If you’re running a 1x system, you probably don’t have the hanger installed. It can be found here:

Tire size clearance 2x
Looking at the 4.2 frame but moving most of my current build over. It is 105 11 speed hydraulic 2x. Wondering if when running a 2x will that limit tire size max? Thx
Howdy!
The front derailleur won’t decrease your tire clearance. You’re good to go with this groupset, and the frameset fully supports it.
Thanks!

Bibs
Good afternoon. I bought a pair of the 3.0 bibs. I have a few pairs of Rodeo bibs. It is clear my usual large might not be right in these. Suggestions on going to the next size up? Do I need to go up 2? I have not worn these….would I be able to return them for a larger size (even if I need to pay upfront for the larger size?
Thanks. AlexAlex,
You can exchange any bibs that have been tried on and have not been ridden in. Just send them back to us with a note requesting an exchange for another size:

internal storage
hello,
I was wondering if I can remove a small plastic piece on the inside bottom of the downtube underneath the cargo door securement post. I believe this small plastic piece is interfering with trying to slide a storage bag into the downtube. Does that make sense? I can email a picture the plastic piece if needed.
Either way, I am loving my Donkey. Keep up the good work!
Please advise.
Thanks,
RandyRandy,
You can remove that. That is just a cable tie down which helps prevent cable rattle. If you are storing things in the downtube, the items themselves may provide the compression needed to prevent rattling.

Flaanimal 5.0 Rear Eyelet Weight Limit
Hi, Can you tell me the weight limit that the two eyelets on the bottom part of the seat stays can support for a rear rack?
You’ll want to keep in mind terrain for evaluating how much weight to put on the eyelets. The bolts can shear in rough terrain above 20kg. It is difficult to know the exact conditions that become “too much”, so playing it safe and distributing the load well across the bike is a good idea. The eyelets themselves are stronger than the bolts.

Spork 3.0 paint options/ custom paint
Hi,
I am interested in getting a Spork 3.0 to replace the fork on my Standert Erdgeschoss 2026 (white rabbit colorway). I’m pretty sure the Spork is compatible but I was wondering if there was a custom paint option as I would like to match it to the bike colorway as best as possible.
Thanks and all the best,
TravisTravis,
Yes the Erdgeschoss is compatible with our tapered steer tube forks.
You would have two options for paint to match. Since your frame is white, the match with white Cerakote would be easy (in Storm Trooper White). If you wanted a gloss paint / clearcoat coating instead of our in-house Cerakote, we could send out to have that done, but the cost would be about 50% higher than our in-house coating. If you’d like to learn more about the differences between paint and Cerakote, please review this page:

Flaanimal 6.0 steel base colours
Good Morning,
I write you to know what’s the base color on the new flaanimal 6.0 steel and if it’s possible to have it without decals.
Kind regards
Filippo6.0 is currently available in two base colors with no decals.
- Black
- Sand
On our configuration page each option can be selected. Decals are optional while configuring and can also be removed at any time that you own the bike.

Spork 4.0 1 1/8 straight + qr
I’m wondering if the spork 4.0 will have a straight option with QR like the spork 3.3. Want to make sure I don’t miss out on getting one that’d be compatible with my bike
There will be no straight steer tube Spork 4.0. The 3.3 will remain our only straight steer tube fork option. Thankfully it’s massively capable.
