Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Arghh...finding a creak resulted in changing and/or servicing bearings, checking bb and check hubs, but without cluck.

 The first time two years ago it was because of a to long bolt (lower bearing) which resulted in a new rear tringle from carbonda. Second time it was due to a stuck bearing. Third and fourth time my hub was broken... But now...




Don't know it is there. Seems a crack in the frame, not only cosmetic. And no, I didn't fit a to big bolt in there.
Hopefully Adam from Carbonda can help me

Think something impacted there? I'd guess thats why a chunk is broken off and the crack extends from that.. depending what Carbonda says, I'd sand away and see what it looks like under the paint.

That's what I'm planning to do. But repair will not be cheap...

adam confirmed, crash impact  no warrenty.
His advice was ta sand the crack and check how bad it is. I think it's brokem beyond repair just by biking wiht it...creaks are getting worse :-\

I'm waiting on reply how much it cost to replace and how much a fm 1002 will cost as an extra 8) (would love to have an real rrail/AM bike for the alps adn parks.

So new rear is on his way...with also a Fm1002 size medium 8)

I did asked Adam about the new 120mm rear end, ot will be coming end of the year with what I understand a new linkage.

Thanks for your info. Just want a bike next to the 936, not overlapping to much.
Waiting for Adam for a nice offer with a new rear for my 936  :'(

After couple of emails with Adam, I'm now waiting on a size medium Fm1002! 8)
Hard to choose which shock...dvo topaz, rs super deluxe, fox or manitou or even a sr suntour  triair3. Any Ideas?
Front will be 160mm lyric or dvo diamond I think if I could get it a bit cheap. Fox 36 grip2 would be great but to expensive.

Rest will be slx drivetrail I think wit 4pots slx or so brakes. Already got 30iw Nextie AM carbon wheels.

Stoked ;D

Yeah the small bump compliance on the DPX2 is bad. Honestly the lyrik's small bump performance isn't very good either. Still both a very supportive, big drops feel plush while bumpy green trails feel shakey.

If I was going to fix the small bump compliance I would probably swap out both the front and rear shocks.

According to serveral reviews the lyric should be fine for small bump compliance, but needs some tweaking. Adding some tokens and lowering pressure can help with small bump, but could also make the fork more progressive.
Not tried myself, because havent't got the yet nor the fork.

Good luck.

Ps alternatives with excellent small bumb: the new fox 36 and offcource dvo diamond or onyx

Does anyone else have chain damage like this? Looks like its about to eat into the carbon. What should I do?

Sorry for the dirty bike.

Very change spot for chainslap i would say.
Your chain ist to long or the clutch is to soft are the 2 things I think of.
Because it's near a pivot you can try to put some 3m helicoptertape or something similar.

Good luck

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame I had my first ride yesterday on the fm1002 at our flat Netherlands. Build with a 160mm lyrik ultimate, rs superdeluxe ultimate, slx groupset and nextie  carbon wheelset with speci ground controll/vittoria meczal.

Must say doesn't bike that bad. Noticable steep seatstay when on the flats.
In comparison to my fm936 not nearly as direct when on the paddles.
But what I didn't expexted to be it so nimble, it goes true turns very easy. Also the medium is a bit smaller than the fm936, a large could had fit me also with 1.74 tall.

I think it will rock when I use it in the Alps
But when I'm going to do a lot of km's or climbs like a transalp I probelably take the fm936.
