Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[theirishrider]

A question for those who've built up the bike with SID 35 Ultimate/Select: any issues with knocking due to loose bushings or damper leaking oil? I am about to pull the trigger on one but reports of bad QC are scaring me a little.

I have the SID Select 35 remote 2021 and its working great!!

So I'm courious what Bike24.de will send me the next days At least i was able to order a 165x42.5 remote one.
There's still one in stock, shipping to australia is 20 €

No sure but I think :
this one is remote : https://www.bike24.de/p1397492.html
this one is lever : https://www.bike24.de/p1397287.html (wrong picture)

[reddi]

Aww okay. That might be it. Damn!
We'll see.

How difficult is it to travel a rear shock or to change a lockout lever to remote?

Meanwhile, i think about color. Painted or black link? Black or blue fork?
Well, best option will be to have a painted link and if it looks wrong, i can still order an unpainted one. Blue vs. black fork can be determinded when the Frame is here... just order both and return one.
For the red tone, i sent Adam this picture as reference. We'll see how it turns out.

I vote for :
-black fork with black link or
-black fork with red stickers with red link

Trek factory racing runs with red frames and blue fork, i don't find this combo very elegant https://scontent-cdt1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/122226975_2132655636879040_8585127515686445313_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=2zWc_70EB3AAX_pYPX5&_nc_ht=scontent-cdt1-1.xx&oh=624bf76554e1ff63014353abc02111fe&oe=5FDD1081

I highly prefer the full red combo made by dangerholm https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-dangerholms-insanely-light-scott-spark.html

hehe thanks! Is it better than my twist grip? I quite like the twist!

[emu26]

I don't know if it will function better than the twist grip but it certainly won't shove your cable out 90 degrees from the bars like the twist grip does.

(To be honest I didn't even notice it was a twist grip, I was so shocked by the position of the cable housing.)

[Roby13]

I think if you could go with a size M, but with a lot of seatpost outside!
I am on a 75.5cm seat height in size M, the measurements of the frame are long!

Hi Risckys,
Could you post a pic of your bike, please?

The SID remote and XT m8100 brakes

Thanks. It is a 2 position ? Open / closed ?
If you half-twist the lock, there is no position "half locked" ?

I am very interested in that twist lock, but I think that I would use a 90° cable guide

Hey all, I just read through this whole thread to help with a FM936 I'm doing. Thanks for all the helpful info!

@reddi, nice build list. Using the above you could save 150g (based on R2 bike weights) for only €100 extra.

It's 2 position   There's a 45deg version in the SID box! Just the straight version worked better for the cable line!

Hi, thanks for that link! Didn't realize that weight significant difference...
Too bad that deal is only for the blue one. Although i like that blue tone, i highly doubt it will fit to the dark candy red frame.
If i could return the fork after receiving the frame, I'd just buy it and give it a try. But since i just ordered the frame this day, there is no doubt it won't be with me within 14 days.
So i'll keep looking for a nice black friday deal on the black one. 730 € would really suit me... 

@Quentin: Yep, the SIDluxe 165x42.5 from Bike24 has no remote
