Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[acedeuce802]

There are a lot of factors that impact sizing, especially if you're on the edge, however you're probably right in the middle of the range for small.  On the contrary to qwerty, I'm 5'10.5" with 31" inseam, and ride a large with 80mm stem!

Anyone try a 34 tooth oval? I have a 32T on now, but wondering about clearance.

I rode the oval 34 all last season with 52mm chainline (shimano 12s - SLX cranks). Not much clearance, but OK. 36 oval wouldn't fit. Now I have 32t oval, which I like better

How was the adjustment going from a round to an oval crank?

I can't remember, it was so long time ago Just kidding. For me the main advantage of oval is when climbing (mtb race, step dirt climb). The power is more even all the time, and it is harder to slip the rear wheel.
For road riding I don't see the point, but marketing can see it

Hi guys. I order a 936 frame, size S for my daughter. Someone here has one for sure. Could you check the maximum length the dropper fits into an S size frame? Thanks a lot

@Yozha : if I were you, I would go to the NS bike website. They prove such information ....

Do you mean https://nsbikes.com/? They have 130mm and 150mm travel frames, I don't think it's a 936?

The manual says 150mm.

Are official geo measurements for the 936 available with the 120mm rear?

Yes, Wing shared it with me, along with some other helpful info I requested:

Tried the High compression tune for 20miles. Switched to Low compression tune as mentioned by another in the thread. I like the Low tune. It lets me run a higher pressure and achieve a 30% sag.

I did send it out to a full time tuner, Trail Labs. They mentioned the IFP might have been setup wrong at the factory, preventing full travel.

I do get much closer to full travel at 225psi, I am 190lbs.

SidLuxe A1.

But honestly, all my riding buddies pointed out that I should have just bought a new shock so that I had the M Compression tune as a backup.

Also, reading about Nino’s Flight Attendant SID(s) makes feel stupid for dropping money on the 200hr service and tune.

Anyone have a guess on the price of a SIDLuxe w Flight Attendant?

And what exactly is the leverage ratio on the OG FM936? I’m assuming this is the original travel one. I run a L compression tune, it’s very active and mutes a lot of small bumps. I have to run a pretty high PSI though, I think 260 psi on a rockshox Deluxe.

Side question here, if the leverage ratio was more like 2:1, what rockshox tune would be appropriate? I’m trying to understand the benefit of running a medium, or a high compression tune.
