Re: Thömus / Thoemus Lightrider - is this a catalog frame?
Very similar to the Carbonda FM936 (also used by NS Bikes and several other brands), but the shape of the flex stays and a couple of front frame details are different. The FM936 looks like a great frame, which is why I was kind of interested in the Thoemus and finding out if it is available elsewhere. To me, the new-breed of xc bikes is the most exciting part of mtb development at the moment. I have half an eye on one of these bikes eventually replacing my Airwolf. I know that all manufacturers put something special together for their pro riders (Trinx being a great example), but I just don't buy the idea that small western brands like Quest, Evolve and NS Bikes have someone sat at the end of the production line checking every frame. They trust their suppliers - thanks for the Carbonda link! July 11, 2022, 02:29:07 PM |

Re: Thömus / Thoemus Lightrider - is this a catalog frame?
...I struggle with the idea that Mathias Flückiger rides a run of the mill, copycat open mold frame that costs $1000 or less.To maybe overcome your struggles  Lars Forster did some world cup races on a $550 041 frame July 18, 2022, 03:36:54 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
No issues with the BB height and size of frame, to me it rides like how an XC bike should feel. I'm 6' riding a large, with a 120mm fork, 50mm stem and 780mm handlebar. All said, it is longer (and slacker) than my old hardtail (that had a 71degree HTA), so it is not as agile on some the twistier trail sections, but I can ride it more aggressively on the downhills. I guess that's the trade off with today's bike geometry. I purchased the RS Monarch RL shock with the frame, so I can't help with the bolts.

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
Happy with my Riot, I purchased the matte black with the rear shock, RS Monarch. I'm running 120mm RS Reba fork but thinking about upgrading to a SID. The bike climbs and handles well, when I get on it I want to pedal it fast as an XC bike should feel. The frame quality is good, I had no problem running any of the cables (I did use the Jagwire foam kit so I wouldn't have cable rattle) and I wrapped the frame with Ride Wrap before I started installing any components. The only issue I've had was with one of the bottle cage rivnuts, it wasn't secured to the frame well. It was an easy enough fix after watching a couple YT videos. August 15, 2022, 10:26:41 PM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
Do you guys know how to remove this silver tube from rear shock support? It's super tight the bolt just rotates with the tube.
