Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

This is not her private email, the benefits of having an email address on a forum like this outweigh the risks.
She will get some spam sure, but more sales too.

Pretty sure he just meant to change the format of it so it doesn't get picked up by bots scanning forums and subscribed to a million mailing lists.

That was what I understood too.
It is less relevant than in the old days.
Look at all the websites that have their info@... emails at the bottom of their pages.

Thanks

But I want a shock with remote! 

I just bought a SIDLuxe RL Solo Air (not debonair) compatible twistlock (remote).
I bought a 165x40mm to be safe (i am 63kg but aggressive riding...).
But 165x42,5mm is available.

I'm confused.
Besides the reference to Twistloc and Oneloc, it is described just the same way like the one i bought two weeks ago. Back then, there was the same picture of a standard shock with remote. The ordered trunnion shock came without remote.
Pleasse let me know what you got when the package has arrived.

[QuentinLL]

Do you mean 1) you received a "remote compatible shock" but without twistloc or 2) you received a "lever lockout shock" ?

I completely forgot your message and placed an order. Somebody on a French forum told me that Bike24 said that this shock was remote compatible.
The order is still processing as there is 6-10 days delay on an item. I sent an email so that they can confirm this information.

The page in English display "twistloc compatible" but in German there is nothing said.
I am afraid you are right.

I received a shock with standard lockout lever, without remote option. Like this.
We'll see what you get.

What charing rings are you all using for 12speed? Trying to find a reasonable priced on for Shimano 12speed 104bcd (Dont want to wreck a 40euro chain)

I'm riding with a $8 Deckas oval ring( they have round too ) from Ali.
Not on my FM936 since I still don't have it 

I may try in the end that one, from Ali too:

That's what you get if you want an SL BSA !

My two other friends got theirs last week.
The order was from end of June. But you know... Covid, airlines, ...   

Here is a not so good picture of the orange one:

I ordered a 34T Deckas chainring, too.

Have you been getting updates on your frame?  I haven't heard anything since I put in my order two weeks ago. Adam said they had standard weight BSA in stock at the time.

One thing that has been said already many times in this forum.
Ordering direct is not like buying from a shop.
You are your own importer, and many things can happen, so you need some patience.

While waiting ~6 months for this one, I'm about to hit my record, it happens but always ends well, so I'm fine.
In the meantime, I've received a dozen of other frames from them too.
One took only 3 weeks, between ordering, painting and shipping.

Dear Mr. ******,

Thank you for your e-mail.

The item ROX496013 - RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate RL Solo Air Rear Shockv Fitting Length x Travel: 165 x 40 mm, is compatible with TwistLoc and OneLoc."

Same link as the 42.5 you bought, I think that you can contact them because they sent the wrong shock.

Hey folks,

I just received my Carbonda FM936. I ordered an SL (super light) model. How do I know if I received an SL or standard model?

Its size Large and weighs 2116g with the rear axle and the plastic dummy shock. I thought it would be a bit lighter and the standard would be closer to this weight. Do you think I got the correct frame?
