Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Kinematic analysis and "corrections" to the geometry chart. Not sure if you can trust this one... He seems to use the diagram from the geo chart, which would be very unreliable. I used the vector graphic sent to me from carbonda and got very different results, especially concerning anti squat and head angle. Here's a screenshot. I put in a 30t chain ring as well and the same Center of Gravity at 650 above the BB, since that affects the anti squat greatly. November 09, 2022, 01:31:29 AM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
What's the correct damper hardware size for the 1001? I found 30x8 is that correct? That is correct January 04, 2023, 04:59:27 PM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Does anyone have some numbers regarding shock pressures, does this frame need lower pressures? I've set up my suspension yesterday and my shock pressure kinda feels low, I'm running a RockShox Deluxe Ultimate with Megneg (said to increase required pressure by about 20%) and for 30% sag with my 85kg rider weight I put only 180psi into the shock. Does that sound right? Not that I made a mistake during the Megneg installation No, I run 185/190 psi on my Super Deluxe Ultimate. I will be adding the megneg (maybe this weekend). Make sure you didn't cover any of the hole in the new can with the orings or red bands. Curious to see what happens after the install. March 24, 2023, 11:32:20 AM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Finally first ride today, some minor adjustments to be made (brake lever angle, saddle position, one more volume spacer for the fork) but that's it. Bike feels great, size is perfect for me. Suspension also feels very good. Yes please, that looks great, well done! Specs and components if it’s possibile April 23, 2023, 08:56:47 AM |

I am starting the build of a FM1001 for my wife. The painted frame has just arrived :-).

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
New to the forum, but lurking a long time  Here's some pictures of my Ican S3 Posting in the FM936 thread, because the S3 isn't available anymore and as the front triangle and geometry are equal to the FM936 I wanted to express my love for this bike here  Eventually bit the bullet last year based on the experiences here on Chinertown as well as the 150+ replies thread on MTB-news.de I built mine with a XC/DC use in mind. 130mm fork (previously a Lyrik, now a 2023 Pike Ultimate). Suspension is where I've spent the money, the rest is fairly budget-minded or sourced from closeouts. This thing rips! I also own a 2021 Specialized enduro as well as a gravel bike. So it's been built to fill the gap between the two. And I wanted a bike that could still handle the descents; and it does just that. Enduro confidence on a short travel bike. The build: Rockshox deluxe ultimate shock Rockshox Pike Ultimate 130mm Aluminum Wheels from slowbuild.de (=Newmen rims) and DT-swiss 350 hubs Rimpact insert in the rear wheel Wicked Will tires (Tubeless) SLX crank with inpeak powermeter Deckas 30t chainring KS Lev integra dropper Fabric Scoop flat saddle Deore 11-speed shifting (recently changed to a ZTTO cassette) Deore disc brakes KMX X11-gold chain Race Face Atlas stem Brand-X carbon bar ESI Chunky Time Atac MX6 pedals   April 29, 2024, 04:23:34 AM |
