Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[Zomb1e]

Hello guys, just three questions:
- how does it work with one bottle? can it handle a big one (750ml)? can we have 2 bottles?

750 mm bottle fits good, two bottles only possible with special mounts. You can also take a look at FM909 frame that has the same geometry but two bottle mounts

- I'm 182 cm tall, did a L is Ok for me?

I'm 183 with long-ish legs, L fits me good with 35mm stem

- Should I  go for a 100 or 120 mm fork? (should be a SID SL Select)

120 will be better 'cause this frame has quite low bottom bracket, and even with 120mm fork it's better to use 170mm cranks

Does anybody know the exact spec or where I can order this bolt? Stripped mine. Thanks

Mine was partly stripped after trying to fix my lower pivot issues. The machine shop that cut down the pivot length said it was a unique spec and shape. I found these that match the conical shape of the washer and provide a larger hex interface to hit torque spec, but it sticks out a few millimeters. I don't really notice due to the location and it doesn't interfere with anything.

I can fit a 1 litre bottle in my small frame.

Is this a damper like on the Scott spark 2016?

Does the fork also have 3 positions? Open, Trail, Lockout?

Yes, is a RS nude 3 position 2016. The fork is a sid 35 ultimate (with sid ultimate SL grafics)  2 positions.
The shox works Great with The 2 positios command.

Thanks, I have read a lot of the thread, and wasn't sure what the final conclusion was on max stroke.

It really seems that there are too many shock options from Fox and Rockshox, and then you add in tunes ... just too many to choose from.

It was said at least that a 40/42.5/45 fox are the same, just with different sag markings and spacers. I'd probably go 165x40, but just unsure of all the models and then the tunes. And if paying say $480 for the DPS performance, and then sending to fox for a tune, that really starts to get up there in price. So maybe the RS Nude off the Scott is closer, but then I see the SID with more adjustments ... can more user adjustable settings overcome a factory tune which doesn't suit the bike/trails/rider?

Hopefully someone has done lots of research and can break it down for me in the the options are 1) Fox DPS XXXX tune, 2) RS nude, 3) x-fusion yyy sort of thing.

I have the SidLuxe 42.5 in a M M tune and will send it in to be converted to a H M tune. It needs to be High compression and Medium damping.

I have to run it at 280psi to get 20% sag. This high of a psi prevents the shock from getting all 42.5mm of stroke.

Just upgraded wheels and fork. Switched to a 120mm fork and no more pedal strikes.

I have the same, how did you reach the conclusion it needs to be converted ?
Unless a warranty reason, Isn't it something you can do yourself ?

I've been loving my FM936. Enough I've been putting out some Youtube videos on it. If anyone's wondering how capable this bike is, hopefully these two videos can help answer that.

I did the leverage ratio calculation of 115mm of suspension divided by 42.5mm of shock stroke. This gives a ratio of 2.75. A value of 2.75 puts it in the high compression ratio category for most shocks.

The part is $18 but everyone is sold out. Sram has released the DIY documents.
