Re: sentyeh HRD 1x11 compatibility i actually had an issue with the 11speed narrow wide chainring being too wide for the 12 seed chain.  it would not sit all the way down in the chainring.

Re: sentyeh HRD 1x11 compatibility
Did you have issues with the cassette?

The front crankset has the 40T x-sync chainring that comes with sram rival crankset 12sp. The cassette however is a sunshine hg hub 11 speed cassette. I was thinking of trying a 12spd gx eagle chain and seeing how that works with the 11 speed cassette.

No the cassette was not the issue.  it was just the chain ring and only the wide tooth was causing the issue.  swapping to a 12 speed specific N/W chainring solved the issue.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
It’s weird that ICAN would be able to sell a Flybike frame for less than Flybike’s own consumer direct operation (Carbonda). One has to wonder if it’s actually the same construction or just the same mold, potentially with a different mix of carbon or layup process. Is that price comparison for both frames shipped?

ICAN has two web sites and only one of them (not the one people normally buy from) lists the X17. I wonder if that has implications for availability at that price, like it’s only for wholesale customers or something.

I haven’t weighed my size large FM1003 frame separately but it can’t be all that much heavier than the 3300g claimed for a medium.

Thank you for the info on the weight. I was on their non-store site and emailed them directly for the price.  Carbonda has always been on the expensive side.  Having purchased many frames from Dengfu and light carbon, all have been well under what similar frames were from carbonda.  If ICAN has similar quality to either of these two I will be happy

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro" Well I have placed the order for the ICAN X17.  I will be the guinea pig for this frame on here.  I went with a matte white paint job.  I was given this as a design view.  although this was gloss, hopefully they remember w hen it comes time to paint.  I will try and post some build photos as I go.  please ask any questions you have.

Matte white will be about the most difficult color to keep looking good. Should look bring, though, when it is :-)

Yeah this will be a bike park only bike so I just have to spiff it up once and while.  I am also hoping that matte frame protection film will help with some of the cleaning process

Re: LCFS948 - a new enduro from Light Carbon I received the size medium that I ordered.  Frame built up just fine. Only issue was the original shock we bought was the SR Suntour Triair 2 with the sideways piggy back and the frame was about 5mm too narrow.  Switched to the voro coil as the original triair is no longer available.  One bummer was that all the drawings had a ISCG-05 mount shown but the frame I received did not.  I asked and was told that production frames don't have it.  Went with a crank based bash guard instead.

Re: XC Marathon Fully with... Drops? Advice? One other thing is to look for 0° or 3° offset chainrings.  I run shimano cranks and Pass Quest makes some in both variations. You could flip a 3° around so it moves outward to give you more clearance.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro" always forget how heavy a coil shock is.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
FYI, the frame from ICAN arrived today.
 
It came with a headset and rear axle.
 
Shipping took 7 days
 
I will have to order parts.
 
Does somebody know what I should check on the frame?

Dang that was so fast.  Please post some pics. When you get a chance.  And thank you for posting the weight. As for what to check, I like to make sure there are no obvious issues.  I like to go through and loosen and then re-torque all the suspension bolts. I will also grease anything that pivots.  Usually find the frames are pretty dry when it comes to grease
