What fork is that on your build? What size? 100mm? 120mm? Has it changed the geometry of the bike compared to your carbon fork? Was the carbon fork 80mm? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm looking at different builds to try and figure which frame might be best for me and the components I already have.

[cklein]

At the moment it is 80mm and approximately the same geometry.

Thanks for the reply. Is this the seller you used?

The bike looks great! The head angle looks pretty slack with an 80mm front suspension fork. Did you get a PF BB30 with it? How is it holding up?

[cklein]

Yes, it is the dealer. I have a bb30 to Shimano adapter. Last weekend I rode the bike on very heavy trails and I love it

Awesome looking project.
I am really close to buying one myself.
Can you tell me what tyre size you use?

I ordered grips in green and a seat clamp

just ordered an m009, could you tell me what size seat post clamp to get?(I don't want to wait for the frame to order the clamp), thank you.

[carbonazza]

The size to take is 31.8mm

I use ones like these in general: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-New-Carbon-Fiber-14g-Mountain-Bike-Seatpost-Clamp-MTB-Road-Bike-Clamp-Bicycle-Cycling-Parts/32655847112.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.HPZpyh

Awsome thanks again!

I'm almost done with the build. Scale said 8.35k. I have just to do the air out of the brake and to shorten the fork.
Maybe tomorrow I can take pictures.

Nice build! I'm about to order the same frame, I'm 188 cm tall, inseam 90 cm. Size 21 I think, what size frame is your build? Seems the seat tube on the 21 size frame is only 480mm, I'm worried that the geometry is a bit wrong ?
Thanks for your time!
Cheers,

Hi new to the forum. Just picked up an FM-M009 and am looking to put a suspension fork on it. Were you guys able to use the headset that comes with the frame or did you have to buy a new one?  Any information would be great. Awesome forum, keep up the good work.

[johnnydamage]

I used the headset that came with it but couldn't get the top cap to stop binding so I just tossed it.

[pumajr]

which headset did you end up going with?  I think that I am in the same situation.  I am having some issues with the upper bearing cup in the headset fitting on my tapered fork.  The one that came with the frame is too small.
