Hey superenzo,
Did you order one ?

It is common. I did break a frame from another builder, they wanted a picture of it cut too.
Maybe to insure you don't repair/repaint/resell it. Not sure why really.
In any case you can trust Carbonda, they will stick to what they say.

The image I posted was for the Falcon Pro AR55 rims and wheelsets.

 It is listed as being 28 mm wide, but since it's U shaped, it's actually 30 mm at its widest point. If you are following the 105 rule, it makes a difference running the 25mm Conti 5000 TLs. The 25mm 5000 TLs pump up to around 28mm wide and sit flush with my AR 46s. Looks nice and tidy, but apparently not aerodynamically optimized.

My eyes need an update ::)

Hmm,

Seems I was mistaken about the width of the Falcon Pros. I would prefer at least a 60 deep rim, but the width is good.

This is the one I ordered the most. The AR56 right?
28mm GP5000 tires fit perfectly on them(but hard to put on).
And Hutchinson sector in 28mm for light gravel(easy to mount, and particularly airtight).

Carbonda reply me SL version is 820 usd. Is it the right price?
Same price as last year, yes.

816
Wow. It is gorgeous!
For the same weight as a carbon one. Did you request some light tubing ?
Could you explain: The rear shape around the axles, the seat-stay recess, the seatstay attachment to the BB, where is the rear triangle supposed to flex, the cables routing, ...

Yeah, I have nothing but good things to say about Light Bicycle's service. I ordered mine through the North American Wherehouse. I just wish they had a wider selection of their road Falcon Pros. If they offered 30mm wide deep section road rims, I'd order a set.
Me too, it has been about 5-6 years of happy service with dozens of wheelsets for me and others.
Excellent products, and service and if things go wrong(just once), they stand behind their product and warranty.

Does anyone knows how long the shipping time takes? My frame is send (first update at 5h of April) to The Netherlands bij EMS. Light Carbon told me that it would take 3 to 4 weeks before I would recieve the frame. Any experience with this?
You just have to wait patiently now... It can be 3 weeks, but it can be more if you are unlucky.
Remember you are your own importer here, but no worries, generally everything goes well.

My frame came with a Hex 6 Axle. Definitely no Torx.
In case you need it, marking is: 180 mm M12 * P1.5 * L16.5
Nope, no movement on my derailleur hanger.

Thanks for the info. Why on earth I've got a T30?

Your height is one part of the equation.
Your inseam, torso length, arm length play a role too.
If you have them standard or short legs, you can go for a L.
If you have long legs vs. torso a M may be better.
I'm 178cm, long legs, and the M is perfect with this 65mm bar: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002037520210.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dVEteNM

Are you all having a Torx 30 axle at the rear ?
This is hardly available on a multi-tool.
It kind of works with a Hex 6 but won't last...
Or maybe it is designed for something like this: https://soshanger.com/148x12x10-T30-Rear-axle-SCOTT ?

If someone changed their axle, could you share the reference ?

When removing the wheel, the derailleur hanger moves down although tightened.
And needs to be moved up to allow the axle to reach the nut through it.
Anyone noted this trouble ?

All frames described here are good for a novice.
Avoid too-good-to-be-true counterfeit models. Take a brand that has good reputation here.
You will learn along the way, and ask questions here if in trouble.

To know if the FM936 would be right for me, I tried to understand the anti-squat things too.
But dropped the research and took the frame as I couldn't find an easy to understand or consistent theory.
I feel some bobbling from the shock(unlocked) when climbing, but I'm generally faster than with the hardtail.

I didn't think about it either  :o
It is generally the bottom one that fails.

There are stainless steel bearings.
Like this one: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK9FYwJ
They last much longer.
Pour generously marine grease on top for even longer usage.

Hills and air is what makes cycling harder.
Joules to overcome them will come from your courageous legs only.
Try a long climb and let us know  ???
