I have to say I do like the lines of this frame. The ride is fantastic, too.

Looks great dude! I love it too. Where are you riding though? The moon? Mars?  ;D ;D ;D

Shimano SLX 4 pot brakes

I reccomend 2 pot Shimano XT/SLX. I think you'd struggle to get to the point where you need 4 pot on this bike considering the type of riding it's capable of. With the Ice tech rotors they stay cooler than other brakes too. 2 pot saves some weight too. At a maximum, 4 pot front, 2 pot back. I was going to do 4 pot too but with 180mm rotors, it's not really needed to put 4 pot.

Hi guys,

I found thist threat yeasterday and I I read the whole thing because I want to order this same frame, thanks for all that cool information :).
My only thought is ,wich frame size would fit me better.? Comparing the geometry with my actual Scalpel Si in L, the carbonda frame is pretty big so I'm considering downsizing to M. What you guys think?
I am 1,83m tall and I usually have my saddle height at 77,5 cm (BB to top of the Saddle).
Anyone riding a M with more or less the same saddle height?

Thanks again and keep posting those cool bike pics!

I'm 185cm and I ride the L, with 60mm stem and flat bar. I would not want to ride a M that is for sure. L feels very perfect.

I want to keep my actual position on the new frame which I find perfect,  it would not be a problem even if the seat tube is 4 cm shorter, I just need to set my saddle 10 mm backwards.
The thing is, that this frame in M has a 30 mm longer reach than my Scalpel in L which is perfect if I want to build it with a shorter Stem
but in L it is 55mm longer .
Also the wheelbase in M is 50 mm longer than the Scalpel in L, the L would be a huge 100 mm difference.
The kind of riding I mostly do is agressive XC an marathon races so a reactive bike would be more of my taste.
Is that the new scalpel? forgive me, but I think the point of the FM936 is to have the longer wheel base? I don't think you'll have any reactive issues on this, the benefit of the slack head angle and longer wheel base is not to be understated on the 'agressive' terrain.

Can anyone here clarify if i can use my Rockshox Monarch XX rear shox (with the full sprint remote too) in this frame?

Its a 165x38 shock my current frame is 100mm travel front and rear and plan to move all the parts over from it to this new frame.

Im mainly a roadie. Built the current 29er myself but that was 2015 so i'm not really up to speed with current suspension details like the difference between trunnion shocks and metric shocks etc.
Has it got 1 eye or 2? Trunnions have 1 eye on one end and 2 bolt holes on the other end. 165x38 should work yes. Will give you closer to 100mm rather than 110mm (we've not quite worked it out exactly) that we get with the 165x42.5 fox :) .
 A metric shock is simply a shock that is in a whole number mm. Basically when there were trying to standardise shocks across all US(fox) and EU/Asian manufactures they decised theres going to be a range of options with intervals that frame makers can choose from.  Makes it easier for everyone. Although the tune of the shock can still make a difference (although the Giant Anthem shock that alot of us are using works great, despite being tunes for that bike).  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fox-Performance-165-x-42-5-Shock-Giant-Anthem-27-5-Trunnion-Dps-Float/124273032134?epid=7026833371&hash=item1cef3ffbc6:g:rLEAAOSwRDJcCemV


I believe you can convert 2 eye shocks to trunnion: https://www.dirtlabs.com/products/trek-trunnion-mount-adapter-kit  Although i expect theres a cheaper one out there.

It is clear that they changed the front triangle A LOT : 67° seat angle and 77° head angle  ;D

I need advise of collective mind:)
I’m going to order a frame but in stock now  there are frames SL with pressfit BB and Normal version with BSA BB. Which version is better?
I've had Zero issues with my normal press fit frame, from what i know, nobody has experienced significant press-fit BB problems. I'd say choose with your wallet!

The SL is to save weight. Some have said it is a different mold/layup while others believer it is just additional sanding.

I went SL because it was lighter. I wanted BSA for simplicity. It’s a balance.
I would probably say its a different fiber layerup and finer sanding. For 150 grams for (250dollars?) difference you have to ask does it match the components on the bike? You could save that many grams elsewhere easily for 250 if you're using SLX /Deore components or heavier bars,seatpost, saddle.

Also for the press fit you need additional tools that add about $100 compared to BSA tools.

For the Ztto thread together or Wheels MFG thread together only the included wrench (or bb cup tool) is needed. :)
