Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"

[zooky]

Which colourway options do you had? Did you ordered a RAW or colored frame?.
How much did you payed if iam allowed to ask?

Any news for the size L or XL frame? I want to retire the Ican p9 after this season. It would be the perfect candidate for new build comming winter.

$1150 usd + $230 shipping to Aus. I just got the standard matte (free colour option) which makes the frame look like black anyway.

Not sure only the other sizes, was just told April or longer with a $10 deposit

I may have used a confusing description. A four bar usually has a link in the seat stay, close to the rear axle. The FM1003 however has a one piece rear triangle with the "seat stay" link very close to the seat post. So it's like a four bar, but maybe it should rather be called a "linkage driven single pivot". Most famous example of this type is probably the EVIL bikes line up. Solid rear as well, but with a more intricate shock linkage.

This is a single pivot design. No intermediate link between the rear triangle and the seat stay.

Anyone have the slightest clue if I am able to fit a Manitou Mara Pro rear shock to this frame?

My guess is that you’d have no problem if you can get a Mara in 205x65 Trunnion. The space for the shock on the 1003 is pretty wide open and unencumbered.

The main question, if you want a size other than Medium, is are you willing to wait until at least April, possibly May or later?

I just tried on normal standing human weight ones and cannot get it . BUT on the shipping box it came in it noted "2kg".  So it'll be about that or so.

No, nothing like that but that an easy and cheap fix.

In regards to bushings.  From my understanding, I need for the frame M8x15

Will these work/be ok? - 8x15 option - https://www.tftuned.com/tf-tuned-mount-kit-127mm-m8/p2937

It looks great! Thank you for taking the plunge and buying first.

It looks like the linkage has a large metal piece where shock meets the rear, does it look like that piece could hit the frame hard?

Also, remember to tighten all the linkage to spec, they are often not all the way tight from carbonda. I just had to replace a linkage screw on my FM936 since I never tightened it all the way.

Those bushings should work I think.
