29er / FM10 Update
« on: May 20, 2023, 08:37:44 PM »
I have updated the FM10 to Bomber 160 mm travel fork and bomber air shock.
The bomber 185/55 fits in the frame better and seems to prevent the frame rub the other shock had.
The bike now seems to ride like a dream.  The fork slackened the head angle a bike but climbs well.
I put a pick with my buddies FM 10 with Lyric fork.

I haven’t because they state the chip has a length of 185 mm in forward position.
If accurate it would reduce suspension by 15 mm and travel correspondingly.

When it fully compressed the nose touches the pivot.

I ended up running a 150 mm front fork and a 200 x 53 DNM rear shock.  Seems fine, until I noticed the rear shock seems to be hitting the rear triangle...  I noticed a similar problem from others.  Does anyone know if they have arrived at a solution for this?
Thanks

Thanks...  I will look for a trunnion mount suspension.
I appreciate your comment on the 140 mm fork.  I will keep everyone in the loop

I have ordered the FM10.
I am still confused about best rear shock size.
The bike seems to want to mimic the suspension set up in the Rocky Mountain Instinct.

I have and love this bike so am trying to mimic it in the setup.
I got a 140 mm front fork.
And ordered a cheap DNM 190mm by 50 mm shock.

If it sets up well I will upgrade.
The question is around the trunnion mount.  I see lots of talk on the site about trunnion but don't see it listed as an option anywhere.  Can anyone confirm if the newest version requires trunnion.
I was sent a spec diagram so have included it for others.
