Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Hey guys I’ve been reading these FM1001 posts since Oct. ‘21. Just joined the forum this week. Ordered and received my XL FM1001 frame in March via Wing @ Carbonda, and just finished the build a few days ago as I disassembled it, painted, etc. Been riding MTB for over 25 years and have several bikes, so I was patient with the build. Specs: Rockshox 150mm Lyrik Ultimate (42mm os) with WolfTooth Maxle and NWT cable retainer, Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate 185/55, One Up V2 210mm dropper, Truvativ Desc. 170mm carbon cranks, Shimano XT 12 speed & SLX 7100 four pods on 203’s f&r, Spank 40mm rise 780mm bars, 50mm stem, etc.  I apparently have been sent the FM1002 frame, or it has the wrong linkage… something. The Horst rocker link sits nosed down toward the shock at proper sag, and the upper triangle contacts the seat tube approx. 11mm before full compression of the 185/55 shock. Awaiting response from Carbonda.

Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself! Hey guys! mdc302 here from SE Tennessee (U.S.) and glad to a part of this very well managed forum. I have been riding mostly MTB and some road for over 25 years of my adulthood. Have spent much $ on Trek bikes over the years (ex. Fuel 98 carbon, Madone SL carbon, etc) from our local friend/bike shop. Upon much research the past few years I recently purchased and built an FM1001 frame via Carbonda. Thanks to this forum I’m one of a growing community that can help myself & others save serious $ and get out on the trail, gravel, and/or road! Look forward to much more on here

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame True, but I specifically wanted the lesser travel 135mm frame with lesser wheel base. But, it looks like I’m keeping the existing 150mm frame and Carbonda is working out a deal for me to receive another FM1001 frame. So, if all goes as said… I’ll still come out ok and will build the FM1002 soon as well with a 160mm fork and a coil shock. More builds coming in my near future. I’ll leave plenty of feedback on both bikes when the time comes

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Since receiving the wrong frame (FM1002 instead of the FM1001), Wing @ Carbonda made things right. I can now report that after some back & forth communication I’m the owner of both frames. I did pay my part though, but at a discount. So, thanks to Wing! Thoroughly enjoying the FM1001 here in the rough and burly Appalachian Mountains of SE Tennessee, north Ga and NC. Running the 150mm fork as well on the FM1001 XL frame as I’m 6’3”. Loving the fact that both frames easily swallow the One Up 210mm dropper! Currently building the FM1002 back up with a 160mm fork. Great setups!

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I’m currently re-working the FM1002 setup, and putting miles on the FM1001. All around I’m absolutely loving the all around ability of the FM1001 (150mm RS Lyrik Ultimate fork)! It’s taking a beating through 200 miles of East TN black diamond stuff. Climbs well, descends well, and I’m happy. I’m 6’3” and both are XL frames, which are actually more like a Large sizing and fit. I do need to try a longer stem than the current 50mm to further adjust the reach with the 40mm rise bars. Can’t go wrong with either of these frames
