Need help from existing Planet X Kaffenback owners
Hey guys and gals, im looking at kaffenback 2 frameset and need to know if i can fit 32mm tyre with full mudguard. And also if the frame can take non disk brakes.plus what rack is compatible with this new kaffenback? Im on budget and looking to build with mixed deore sora set up. And also can tou recommend decent disk wheels? Will be using the bike for commuting and light touring shopping etc. thanks in advance. Im 5"7 and looking at small framset. May be i should go for medium. Cant test ride the kaffenback as i live outside uk.

I don't have one, but I'm pretty sure the current frameset is disk-specific.
If I were you I'd e-mail PlanetX with your queries, and provide them with your measurements so they can advise on sizing.

Bovka99, The Planet X web site states that "32C" tires fit. Planet X Kaffenback 2 Shimano Tiagra Road Bike | Planet X . I suppose they mean 32 mm.

With 415mm chainstays, there won't be much room for mudguards and load capacity might be limited.
