Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts My Sniper is not set up as 120/120mm bike. However, there are quite some annoying things I don't like about it and I experienced quite some failures too.
1) The upper rocker bearings got loose several time in the carbon - I am rather tired of replacing the ling or gluing the bearings in.
2) The spacing of the lower rocker link is bigger than the width of the frame and resulted in a failure of the aluminum bolts. I used a spacer which probably resolved the problem.
3) The carbon link with even with the cross brace is not stiff enough - this results into side forces on the shock - my DPS failed last year (the inner axle snapped in halve).
4) The reach is a bit on the short side with the 120 mm fork and the head angle is not slack enough.
5) The frame does not fit too bottles - the additional bottle on the bottom of the front triangle is a very bad solution.
6) The derailleur hanger is not easily replaceable without tools which is a big problem for long bike packing races. 

All these things make me to think Carbonda can be a better and safer fit. Could you please elaborate on the setup you got on both bikes? Was the suspension the same (shock/fork)? How about the wheels and cockpit? What was the main difference you noticed?
