Carbonda FM909

Does anyone have a diagram of how the headset goes together? Is the top bearing, then that half circle thing, then the top cap and washer? That leaves a hole…

Here is what I have, it might help

Thanks, that helps. I really want to work out how to make the top cap flush with the frame (no gaps). I feel like if I put the one that came with it  in it will sit up. Saw a guy on here got his flush. Will have to break out the calipers and do some measurements I guess… hope I am worried about nothing and will just work.

On another note the build is coming along well but managed to chip the paint on the swing arm with the bottom bracket tool! Just superficial but worth a note. Very tight.

Had to remove the lower bolt on the swing arm to get the cables in (was hard). Should have done it then.

Nice! Thanks for the diagram.

Nude has 15mm cable pull. Oneloc 10mm and only two modes.

My friend did some trick, dont't exact know what (see photos), and IT works. There are only 2 positions now, open and close. That's fine with me.

Why size L if you are 175 cm? Did carbonda suggested you? I see you have a very short stem indeed

Geometry of my hardtail, M size:
https://superiorbikes.com/pl/2018/mtb-race/xp-979/matte-petrol-blue-black-neon-red
Look at attached photos:
Hardtail from middle of saddle to end of steem is 70cm
Carbonda from middle of saddle to end of steem is 66cm.
Saddle on carbonda is 2cm lower than in hardtail. When i will even them, i think it will be the same, about 70cm
So for me L size is ok

Thanks Seba, what a change from the Superior to this one isn't?

That looks promising. Please ask your colleague how he managed to adjust the rear shock (15mm cable pull) with the OneLoc shifter.

I think he used this:

Will ask him on sunday

I'm still waiting for my first ride. I hope there will be a big difference

Apparently it was preloaded 5mm.

It's a usual cable tensioner, which is commonly used with dropper posts or road bikes.

Exactly))
