Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread. FS-AM831 (but actually tantan/Seraph's FM831 and supposed to have the new rear triangle) so far so good.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro" 1st Ride Review

Climbing - Climbs HEAPS better than my 2016 275 HT. Minimal to no pedal bob. Things that I could not do before I am able to do with ease now. :D  So far cannot fault climbing.

Descending - Amazing! Did not have any sketchy moments thinking I was going OTB etc. Im still getting use to newer geometry so I have to remember no need to lean back as much as I had to on my old Hard Tail (shorts scrapped the back wheel a few times)
Can pretty much point the bike down at any line and it just eats everything up

Still need to tweak the Fork & Shock a little, but I think im almost there.

Note: The standard free colour the bike comes with does pick up/show oil, fingerprint marks etc.  So, if anyone was considering this frame, prob better to get a custom paint job

Do you have any idea of BXT as a brand?

I have purchased several carbon hardtails and forks from BXT and I only have good things to say.  Quality was great, shipping times weren't immediate but were reasonable (to the US), and their communication was prompt and helpful.

Re: Tideace 2022 FS-AM831 Groupbuy C order with new Triangle
Its only the first frames that have the flex issue , The new frames with the upgraded rear triangle are great

I only have one ride on the upgraded triangle and it is already night and day a better riding bike.  Super supple similar to the double bearing JJJ bolt mod, it is a similar design, and actually has the proper amount lateral stiffness.

The original triangle was my only complaint and I'm hoping that it is solved now - need a few more rides to be sure but I am impressed so far.

Re: cybrsrce AM831 build
did you get a new frame or just the rear triangle? what came with the rear triangle?

I did this also, had the old rear triangle with JJJ bolts and ordered the new triangle. It was just the rear triangle with all the hardware required for installation. Also got an extra derailleur hanger out of it.

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29
Building another LCFS947, this one in size M. But cassettes and rear derailleurs are impossible to buy for the moment. (Shimano SLX)
Your build looks great! Btw, you can buy OEM Shimano parts on aliexpress. I've bought 7100 and 6100 derailleurs and they are original for sure.

Re: AM831 - The flex-fix Finished my AM831 last week and took it for a first ride yesterday. There is some fixing left to do, some squeaking sounds to identify. But the bikes feels very, very nice to ride on technical trails.

Re: AM831 - The flex-fix
Finished my AM831 last week and took it for a first ride yesterday. There is some fixing left to do, some squeaking sounds to identify. But the bikes feels very, very nice to ride on technical trails.

On the FS830 Frames was the solution to eliminate the squeaking sound, to implement a screwable bottom braked BB86-92 eg. from Ztto and remove the bearings into Enduro bearings.

Best regards

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro" Just got the initial paint proofs back from Katie at Carbonda. Zooky, I appreciate you taking the plunge first. At 100 kg, I should be able to give you some idea of durability though am really just getting started with local enduro runs and tend to shy away from huge drops and jumps. I went with pastel orange. Maybe a little lighter in color than I was envisioning but I think it'll look good with some dirt on it. Will keep you posted.

Re: LCFS947 Build (Risky Business) Been a fun summer on this frame. I’ll get around to a write up with my impressions as well as compiling my best footage from this year and uploading to YouTube.

For now some recent shots.
