What about running a 130 or 140 mm fork? Anyone tried that? That would raise the BB. It would also mean slacker angles.

Interested in this as well. Considering a 130mm pike for my build.

I received my FM936 today. Fell in love immediately! :D :D

Looking a bit closer, i found a few painting mistakes. No i dont know: Is that normal with Carbonda?

That red color looks sick! Nice choice.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Finally finished my build.  Size M, SL. BTLOS i30, DTswiss350, XT cassette and shifter, SLX brakes and derailleur, e*thriteen crankset, Fox elite shock (Giant Anthem 2017 model from ebay), SID Ultimate 120mm, 150mm OneUpV2 dropper.  Rekon F2.5 R2.4. 25.8lbs w pedals.

Absolutely love this bike.  Was looking for one bike that I could use on trail rides and also race in local XC events.  It ticks all the boxes.  After a few tune up rides I took it out for a hot lap yesterday on my usual 11mi loop.  To compare I'm coming off a 2017 Giant Trance w 160mm Lyric fork, and sometime ride an old but fast Schwinn Homegrown 26er hard tail.  I was within 5% of my best times on the gnarly downhill sections, and PR'd pretty much every flat or climb section.  I even cleared a huge techy hill that I've never done before.  I couldn't believe how much faster I was on this bike. Especially this early in the season.   It is about 10lbs lighter than my trance, so that's got to be part of it, but I never felt under-gunned on the downhills.  The geo and the 120mm SID felt almost as solid as the 160mm Lyric on my Trance.  I definitely bottomed out in placed where I usually don't, but tokens will fix that. 

In all, zero regrets with this bike. Thanks to everyone for sharing your builds and info.  Made the process so much easier for me.
