Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Quote from: nt5k on December 29, 2021, 02:51:57 PM
My son bought this frame (fm1001) and were trying to find a shock. RS makes a "Deluxe Nude" that has a M/M tune. 185x55, trunnion and remote. I THINK this will work, but the remote cable routing looks not great at the shock.

Has anyone built this frame up w/ a shock remote?

Thanks!

I did not go with a remote lockout in my build. Personally I don't find it necessary to lock out the rear or the fork when climbing on this frame. To me there is little to no pedal bob.

Not sure how well the Deluxe Nude would work with this frame. The Super Deluxe Ultimate Remote might be a better option since it will be more inline with the cable vs perpendicular on the Deluxe Nude

Shock tune question.

What has everyone been going with?
Any recommendations or tips?

Thanks!!

I went with a Super Deluxe Ultimate 185x55 M tune with a Pike select 140mm upfront.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I've finally been able to get my bike built up and taken out for its shake down run, my first impressions have me impressed and very happy with choosing this frame.
The bike feels so incredibly stable at speed,  but nimble in the corners.
Taking into consideration I've downsized on the frame size, I'm 184cm tall, I think I have got the right balance that I was looking to achieve for my riding style, yet, coming from a dirtjump and freeride mtb background, will give me that manouverbility and  clearence for the inevetible moment that I forget I'm not 20 years younger and attempt something stupid

There's a few things that need fine tuning. Getting the suspension set up, the gears need a little tweek to get them crisp,  I need to adjust the calipers to remove a slight brake rub, change the saddle, and remove the stickers of the spokes
but overall the bike is pretty close to perfect and Im very happy with how its turned out.

Re: Spcycle hardtail M028 Well, it arrived a week ago and I managed to get it built up over the weekend, and ridden a little. it's the XL, 21", measures up 20.25" centre BB to top of seat tube.

Bought via aliexpress, ordered 29th April, but ordered it painted so expected a bit more of a delay. finally delivered 13th June, though it should have been a few days before but parcelforce in the UK are rubbish.
I was a bit late getting it built as it needed a boost chainring. Thought I may get away without, as I have with a few boost frames, but no, non boost hits the chainstay. Even with boost there's only a couple of mm clearance when running a 34T, wouldn't want to go bigger/oval, but think the recommended max for the frame is 32T anyway. This also means that the boost wheel adapters for 142 wheels doesn't really work that well and the chain drops when on the large sprocket. Normally not a problem, just use another spacer on the disc, move both axle spacers over to disc side and re-dish, that is unless you have the centrelock boost adapter, like me, then you can't shift the disc over any further :-/ it'll need a proper boost wheel then....

Anyway, not a bling build, all parts I've had on various bikes over the years. mostly XT, mix of 10 speed cassette, 11 speed mech, and 11 speed sram gripshift, manitou minute's at 120mm that need a reshim as they're set to a very basic trail damping (one of the great things about ABS+ damper is tunability)

Rides like a bike. short stays are a bonus, makes it easy to lift up and over things. Relatively roomy, have a 80mm stem in there, but will play about with different ones to see what works best. Steering with the 120mm forks is quite neutral, though I'll need to see what it's like once I've fettled the forks a bit more to give me a little more support.
Broke a couple of strava PR's, on descents and traverses, so pretty capable. I've not got the legs to better some of my climbing PR's, but it's quick all round and feels solid under power. ;-)

Re: Carbonda FM909 I had this problem with another frame. Take the hanger off the frame and try to put it on the hub. My problem was that the hub didn't fit in the hanger. I had to take off some material.
