29er / 180 mm rotor on a Carbonda fm909 ?
« on: June 20, 2023, 04:56:40 PM »
Can I use a 180mm rotor on a Carbonda fm 909? I am trying to do just this with Shimano XT brakes. And a 180mm post mount adapter to space the caliper properly. The mounting bracket of the caliper hits the frame with the 180mm adapter in place. Has anybody had this problem?

E-Bike Frames & Builds / ican EO4
« on: December 03, 2022, 11:21:52 AM »
Does anybody have information on the Ican EO4? I am wondering which frame this is and what are the geometry specifics? Also, will it handle a larger battery than the stock 450WH battery? Looks interesting otherwise. Maybe something like the Light Carbon Ebike?

E-Bike Frames & Builds / Kabon 29er emtb
« on: November 26, 2022, 02:59:20 PM »
I have been getting ads on Alli Express for a "Kabon" brand enduro geometry carbon frame/ bafang motor combo. Does anybody have any opinions of these bikes? Seems like a great price for a modern geo bike if it is any good.

« on: August 16, 2022, 05:38:26 PM »
I am building an FM909. I am enquiring what people think would be the best down-country tires for this bike. A compromise between reasonably light weight, good rolling resistance. and decent descent characteristics.

I am wondering what bolt and bushings I need to mount a Rock Shox Super Deluxe rear shock to the FM1002 frame.I think I am ok with the top bolt and bushings. But I don't have a way to mount the bottom connector.  And where might I purchase them. Thanks.

E-Bike Frames & Builds / 29er Ebike frame
« on: June 08, 2022, 11:23:39 AM »
I am considering purchasing a 29er enduro style frame/ bike to build up this fall or next winter. Something like the FM-E1126 . I think the E1126 are only sold in lots of 30. Is there a similar frame that is sold in individual frames? I am also looking into the FM909 as a cross country bike. Is there much difference between the Flybike and the Carbonda?

29er / Breathing new life into the old P9
« on: April 14, 2022, 10:26:27 AM »
I just installed a Slack-R headset adapter into my four year old P9 to slacken the head angle. It seems to make a notable improvement in the downhill handling of the bike. Although with our recent 2' of snow I have been shut down from trail riding for a week or so.

« on: March 30, 2022, 01:07:47 PM »
I am wondering which of the modern-geometry cross country frames people like the best and would recommend. For xc racing and marathon racing mostly. I am looking at the Flybike FM1206, Carbonda  FM909, Carbonda FM936, and Ican S3.

29er / Which long travel 29 ?
« on: August 03, 2021, 12:28:27 PM »
I have parts to build a decent longer travel 29" bike. I am wondering which of the current options people would recommend? The options I see most on this forum are the Carbonda FM1002, the Light Carbon LCFS947, and the AM831 frame based on a Santa Cruz Hightower. Based on frame build quality, climbing, handling, descending capabilities.

29er / P9 update?
« on: August 28, 2020, 12:07:53 PM »
Will the P9 frame ever receive an update? Slacken head angle a bit and steepen seat angle to 2020 standards? I like the basic performance of the bike.

Component Deals & Selection / Powerway hubs
« on: June 18, 2020, 11:15:49 AM »
I am wondering if anybody has had experience with Powerway hubs. How do they compare to other name brand hubs? Reliability? Weight? etc. I am looking into buying some new carbon wheels for an mtb. And these are one of the options.
