japjoe7 Carbonda FM1001 build thread
japjoe7:
Got a XO1 165 32 crank 476g. Have GX 170 32 carbon crank I’m going to sell.

With tires like these you will limit bike potential to a down-country territory at best. Around 850-900g per tire is kind of minimum reasonable, think of new Purgatory in T7 or T9 or EXO Forekaster as minimum from Maxxis. I used DHF MaxxGrip for all the colder part of the year, considering something little faster for warm period, but never an XC tire.
I would also reconsider simple SPD before you mount them for Shimano trail pedals for better support, it makes difference which is worth extra grams.
japjoe7:
Well, hate to say it boys but the FM1001 has been abandoned for now. I’ve chosen to run the BTX for now. I’ll use the 1001 as a backup frame if needed or use it down the road. It’s been a trip to build up all these parts for the build.
bangacan:
I didn't read every post but why are you abandoning it? I'm thinking of getting this same frame.

May I know where you got these pedals from? What's the nut size: 15 or 16 mm?
