Re: Carbonda FM909
I do not know what diameter you have in the fox, if the same as in the rock shox, i.e. 8 mm, the length is 30 mm, I think it will be ok:Yes, thank you, I thought about this kit, but there were doubts. Because Fox has very similar sizes as 29.97 etc. And 8mm is a frame bolt size, not the shock. Bought the OEM Trek shock and found an incompatibility only when trying to assemble the frame  Upd. Decided to use a lathe and reduce the current kit. ))) January 27, 2022, 05:54:36 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
My friend did some trick, dont't exact know what (see photos), and IT works. There are only 2 positions now, open and close. That's fine with me.It's a usual cable tensioner, which is commonly used with dropper posts or road bikes. Quote Apparently it was preloaded 5mm.Exactly)) March 03, 2022, 03:18:12 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
Try to do some test rides on similar bikes..e.g. Specialized Epic Is similar. M in Speci corresponding roughly to 909 S size.This can be a difficult choice even with a test similar bike. If you like the fit, then you need to build the same, taking into consideration the difference in frame geometry. My test bike was a Carbonda 936 L-size (same geometry) with 100 mm fork, 51 (i think) mm offset, 80-90 mm stem. The fit was very low and stretched, the steering was very sharp, the bike itself was kind of sluggish. My friend decided to buy M-size, I bought a size L anyway. We are both 180 cm tall. To avoid negative moments, I installed a 120 mm fork with offset 44, stem 35 mm (also i bought 45 mm), riser handlebar 760 mm, spacer ring under the stem. In my opinion, it turned out perfectly for my riding style. April 20, 2022, 09:46:33 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
How did you manage in front brake cable to go through the headset and handlebar?Google it - ACR Headset Quote Since others are not using like this.http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3106.msg33901.html#msg33901 Quote Rad! What length fork is that?I think, 120mm. It is Fox SC 34. So far, I have not seen this 100 mm fork from anyone. -------------- I also faced the problem of the backlash of the rear wheel due to the axle being too long. It just rests against the bolt of the deraileur hanger and does not pull the hub in rear triangle to the end. Moreover, my axle was not from the Carbonda, but was cutted according to their sizes. For a temporary solution to the problem, I used a thick plastic washer. April 28, 2022, 06:35:46 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
strafer, all bolts are included. As shown on the picture.

Re: Carbonda FM909
Wow, a headset now have a new compression ring. Because my headset began to backlash. "There is no protection of the bearings from dirt." JvanJ, you can see my photos a few pages ago. I'm made a protection with a piece of old tube. July 21, 2022, 11:05:53 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
I have found a Fox shock which is 42.5mm x165mm. Can this fit the frame? Or is it limited to the 40mm x 165mm shock?It's ok. You can find confirmation in previous messages of this topic. July 22, 2022, 07:30:49 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
I don't believe this has been reported before. Can others confirm?I could disassemble the frame again, like a few days ago (for full maintenance), but I'm too lazy to do it for one photo. I can give you the information that I added to my notes for further purchase of spare parts: Lower pivot - F6901 VRS MAX - 2 bearings Other pivots - F6801 VRD MAX - 8 bearings The view of Fxxxx is  Also you can find F(flange)xxxxE(extended inner race), but it is not our type.

Re: Carbonda FM909
Hi there, as far as I understood "2vrs max" means that there is no cage inside of the bearing, only metal spheres, which makes them much stronger against force.Max - exactly. 2 vrs is a type of seals. Quote So if the usual F6901 2RS has the same geometry, one could use that as spare? I didn't look on the bearing type I have to admit. So I can't confirm whether the geometry is the same or not.The measurements is the same. May be we can use not flanged bearings. But the main question is whether they will fit correctly into the frame seats and whether they will not be overtightened during installation. August 19, 2022, 06:53:46 AM |
