Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame It's likely we will not be able to use Enduro bearings on the 1001/1002 and we'll either have to source a more generic bearing or get replacements from Carbonda.

Since the Enduro F6902 EA LLU has a thinker flange I assume this will not work for the lower pivot either. It sounds like it will for the rocker arm but there is a gap. Not sure if that will be a bad thing. Enduro still doesn't carry a F6901 or a F6801 so those still have to be sourced elsewhere.

I was able to find these bearings below. Not sure if they are the exact bearing that Carbonda uses but they appear to be to correct size. The flange thickness is still unknown on these. I'm also having creaking issues that I'm trying to eliminate. At that point where it might time to start pulling bearings. Since the bearings below are fairly cheap, I might just buy a set and see what happens. Won't be for a couple months though. Still have plenty of riding left before the rain comes in.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I exchanged emails with Wing last night and was able to get a parts kit ordered. The kit was $60. FedEx shipping to California was $35 and a $4 PayPal fee for a total of $99

Good to know we can get the full kits from carbonda.

Is the $60 + shipping the cost for the kit with all bearings plus all hardware has shown above by japjoe7 ?

When I sent the initial email I included the two pictures from japjoe7 showing the full kit so they knew what I was requesting.

While it will be nice to have a complete set of extra hardware for this frame I would still like to find another source for the bearings. Prior to finding out about this parts kit I was going to pull the trigger on a full set from 123bearning as they seem to have the correct bearings. I think now I will just order one of each type so I can compare them to the set from Carbonda.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Took about 4 weeks but my hardware kit arrived today. Been waiting for this to arrive so I can do a full disassembly of the bike and do some maintenance. If all goes according to plan I will start this next weekend

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame Still have mine. It's been my one and only bike for the last two years. It's been through the ringer lol. According to my Strava I put over 1200 miles on it. This past winter I went through and replaced all the bearings. Out of the 14 bearings (I think that's how many there are) 4 were bad. Other than that, haven't had any issues. I just got an ebike last week so I will be splitting my time between both bikes.

Which were the 4 bearings that were most beat up? I have some guesses…

Were the trunnion bearings among them? That seems to have been common.

My plan is to use the Carbonda provided kit for the F6902 bearings between the rocker and seat stays (if I understand which goes where correctly), and Enduro Max for everything else. The hardware in the kit will be backups in case the main pivot axle or any bolts get stripped/corroded. They’re awfully soft, like the Carbonda provided UDH hangers which I’ve all replaced with Wheels Manufacturing.

Hopefully this and a spring tune (new Shimano 12 speed got one ride last fall and was never fully dialed) will get rid of my various creaks and clunks. I mostly rode my FM1003 last year and wasn’t able to ride nearly enough due to very poor weather in New England…but am eager to get the 1002 back in rotation.

Yes they were. I had already replaced them once with Enduro bearings because the original bearings had pretty much seized. Now on my third set. The others were a main pivot and a rear triangle bearing. Not sure which bearing was causing my god awful creak but its nice having a quiet bike again lol Will see how long that last
