Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
adroitrider:
That is a stock Sram Dub bottom bracket. The drive side bearings are a little crunchy.
I installed one of the Walgun ceramic BBs from Ali that is anodized. I doubt it will last as the seals seem to be less robust than the Sram.
The trails near Chicago are clay based soil, no fun when wet.

Also got a couple other 3D printed bits, the Manitou Mara remote lockout exits on the top (or bottom in the case of this mounting) but there's no room in the frame, so I printed a little sleeve for the aircan with a mount for the cable housing, so it now exits out the non-drive-side. I just swapped from an LCFS911 to this and carried most of the parts over, but still going to build a new wheelset and get new handlebar/stem. Once it's all done I'm thinking it'll come in right under 25 lbs. The trails will be wet until mid March or so, so it'll be a while until a ride report. So far the geo feels a lot like my Guerrilla Gravity, except it's fast in a straight line like my 911 was.

Sorry to bring up such an old post. I was curious if you had any more info on how you got the Mara to work with a remote lockout on your frame. I have a Vitus Rapide FS with a Mara and absolutely love it. I do wish I could run a remote to firm up the platform on the fly though. I tried to PM you, but I don't have any posts so it may not have went through.
Thanks,
Jake

Here's the 3d STL file to 3d print. I only used it for a couple hundred miles so I can't comment on the durability. Not that I didn't like the lockout, just been testing out a few different shocks. The only thing additional needed is a square nut and bolt (either m4 or #10 screw). I also used a Shimano RS900 shift housing for the first foot, since it's a lot more flexible than traditional housing, and it's a tight bend to make sure it doesn't stick too far out towards the pedals.

Do you have an stl file for that bottle mount? I’d love to run a 2nd bottle on my L frame.
