Re: Fovno Crank sets
Finally we've got Fovno Phantom Pro Crankset (http://www.fovno.com/product/cranksets/phantom-pro-crankset%ef%bc%8829mm-spindle%ef%bc%89/) on Aliexpress: https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005003003956669.html It's DUB compatible and probably wouldn't have problems with alu bolts (as almost all other Fovno's cranks with 24mm spindle) February 24, 2022, 02:47:16 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
@urbs, as I know (but of course I may be wrong), absolutely all 165mm shocks with trunnion mount have maximum stroke of 45mm. All shorter strokes are obtained by using spacers. Some manufacturers produce shocks with only 45 and 40mm strokes (5mm spacer), others add 42.5mm (2.5mm spacer) and sometimes 37.5mm (7.5mm spacer).

Re: Koozer custom wheelset
The rims also seem 100% legit sun ringle Duroc 40s, measurements are spot on and the nipple holes are silver rimmed, those two rims alone are nearly the price of the wheelset where I'm from.Duroc rims selling on Hayes/Sunringle site are aftermarket version: they have no eyelets, have welded joint instead of sleeved one and graphics is painted (or laser engraved, not sure) on rims instead of stickers. Rims on your wheelset are OEM version, they are not selling officially (but of course you can find them on Ali) and their price is much lower then for aftermarket version. But they are definitely good. March 15, 2022, 04:37:18 AM |

TanTan/Seraph FM199 rear axle
Hi guys, can someone of FM199 (or FM299) frame owners measure it's rear axle? I need axle length, length of threaded part and thread pitch. The only info I've found about this axle is Syssypants' post on mtbr (https://www.mtbr.com/threads/tantan-fm-299b-long-term-review-18-5lb-3000-xc-trail-build.1100653/) where he says that it is 172mm x 1.5 pitch, but I need one more confirmation.

Re: Koozer custom wheelset
So finally I've built my 195€ wheelset, which I mentioned on previous page. 1770 grams without rim tape and tubeless valves (830 F, 940 R) and 1800 g with them. Wheels are perfectly true with tension varies from 107 to 113 kgf on loaded side. Tensionmeter was calibrated with spokes I've used in this build (D-Lite) on digital calibrating stand (0,1 kgf accuracy).

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Want to show you probably the most cost effective build in this epic thread - sub $2150 and sub 11.9 kg. I was building it as do-it-all bike (for a guy with xc background), staying on budget but without major compromises in performance. Most parts were new, some second hand and some were taken from my spare parts box. Specs (without some minor parts): frame: Carbonda FM936, L, BSA73, matte black shock: SR Suntour Unair LO-R8 165x40 fork: Manitou Markhor boost 120mm wheels: Duroc 30 rims + ARC hubs + Sapim D-Light tyres: Nobby Nic 2.35 + Rocket Ron 2.25 cranks: Descendant 6K DUB 170mm chainring: 32T 3mm offset bottom bracket: Sram DUB-BSA shifter: GX 12sp chain: YBN S12 S2 cassette: Sroad 10-50T 12sp derailleur: SLX RD-M7100 dropper: Brand-X 150mm dropper lever: ZTTO saddle: Chineese carbon brakes: Formula RX rotors: Toopre 180F 160R pedals: CrankBros Candy X handlebar: low-riser 720x9 grips: Chineese silicone barends: Meroca stem: 35mm bottle cage: "Bontrager" carbon March 22, 2022, 03:20:25 AM |

Re: Remote lockout needed?
Do I need a remote lockout?I think yes if you're going to use your bike as race one. And the best option in your case will be a single remote for both fork and shock - see last 3 or 4 pages of this thread, there were some posts about it. March 25, 2022, 04:11:36 AM |

Re: Koozer custom wheelset
I can't see that info on their store page.You'd better look at koozer's official site than any stores: https://www.koozer.net/149.html https://www.koozer.net/186.html Freehub bodies are 6-pawl, not dt-style ratchet March 27, 2022, 04:47:25 AM |

Re: DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort
I'm really just looking for the absolute loudest hub out thereTake a look at ARC mt009 (or mt006 if you need non-boost) hubs on aliexpress. They are using traditional design with 36 tooth ring and 6 pawls with 3 teeth on each. At every moment 3 of 6 pawls are engaged, so you'll get 5 degrees engagement and these hubs are loud as f##k.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Yesterday I've make a first test ride on our local winter xc track. I've set sags - both front and rear at home, so outside at temperature below zero degrees Celsius I suppose they became pretty close to enduro bike settings  Despite this I was surprised by suspension feel: no exceeded bobbing, both front and rear felt quite sensitive at the beginning of travel and rather supportive from middle stroke. Traction at the rear was enough for most of icy climb sections even without spiked tyres.
