Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I can't tell anymore where i read about it, but i think the DT Swiss dual position system works with 5.5 mm cable pull for each step, so 10 mm cable pull from RS twistloc might not give a full lockout, but close to. I think i'll try that out when the frame has arrived (it's getting painted at the moment). youre right about the DTswiss cable pull. i got a reply from a norwegian importer today. he said 11.5mm from open to lock, 5.7mm form open to drive. im still trying to find out what cable pull Fox uses. but ive seen that on the YT industires Izzo trail bike they use Fox fork and shock but a Rockshox twistlock remote. so wondering if a rockshox fork and Fox shock might play better together...seems impossible to find this stuff out though.

Re: Light Carbon LCFS917 XC Frame
The rockshox SID cable pull is 10mm. Cable pull is very close between both. I leave a little slack in the fork cable when shock is open. With the remote in the middle position the fork seems to be open. Then at lockout both shock and fork lock out. Overall it seems to work. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a 2 position fork to work with the 3 position shock and remote but it works just fine. December 15, 2020, 09:33:03 PM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
I find the FM1001 pretty small, don't you ? My thoughts as well, reach to STA ratio is pretty small so it wont fit my body type. January 12, 2021, 06:52:00 AM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Looking at the effective top tube length (O on the geo on the first page), this frame seems to run a full size smaller. XL measures 627mm which is more typical of a large. I like this measure because it shows the distance from the seat post to the center of the head tube, basically center of your seat to your stem. You can adjust fit with stem length or moving your seat, but this gives you a good starting point.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hi guys, I wanted to know if the bike easily accepts the entire 165 * 42'5 shock travel. I ask this because there are bicycles that, although they accept 115mm of travel, it is very difficult to get them to give the full travel. I don't know if I explain myself well, since my native language is not English. I have a 42.5mm shock..rs deluxe and with 25% sag it uses 80-90% of its travel..first i did 30% sag which did use full travel, but not that often... Less tsag means less pedalstrikes (in flat terrain with a lot of turns). Hope it helps February 16, 2021, 05:08:04 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hey guys I just saw that Vitus is using this frame for their new Cross Country bike. https://vitusbikes.com/collections/rapide-fsIt was mentioned few pages ago already with a nice picture. This thread is so big, that we repeat ourselves regularly In other news, I still don't have my frame, but... it is being painted. Finger crossed! March 02, 2021, 11:32:36 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
also on Skype no reaction. Apparently they don't want to sell me a frame. Maybe no shipping to EU anymore. I'll go elsewhere.They answer, they ship to Europe. It is not your usual shop you enter in, buy and get out with the product. Some patience is sometimes required. March 11, 2021, 04:37:16 PM |

Re: Chinese SC/AM831 Group Buy
I've reached out to a few sellers to see if they are interested in doing the group buy. You would pay directly to the seller and frame would be shipped directly to you. I'll keep the group posted.
