Re: New Enduro Frame FS830

Does anyone have experience or HAIDELI  or Miva?

What's the link between the two companies?

I've built two FM-M009 hard tails, 4 years ago.
They were well built, and are still ridden with no problem at all.
And joy[at]haidelibicycle.com was really helpful and easy to deal with.

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy Thread! Scourge, I wonder if that is your orange frame in Eddys' pic above?

Re: Tideace FS-AM831 New Groupbuy (B) Order Hi Eddy,

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of editing your thread title to add the "B" designation to this group buy and did the same to the first group buy but added the designation of "A".

This is just a suggestion, but to avoid confusion, perhaps the group buys could be referred to as "831-A", "831-B", "831-C", etc. And if there is a group buy for a different frame in the future, then just use the same naming scheme but with that frame's model number. Example: "P9-A", "P9-B", etc.

As always, open to suggestions/better ideas.
Thanks,
Sitar

Re: Tideace FS-AM831 New Groupbuy (B) Order Email Eddy that you are interested in the group buy.  The other threads have size information and the color options.

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Attaching a picture of my finished build. This frame size is "S".
Only the bottom cage is missing and I haven ridden it yet, apart up and down the street to tune suspension and saddle height.

Some interesting parts of my build:
  • assembling the lower pin of the rear shock was challenging, as I could not find any position of the rear triangle that gave me enough clearance to remove the bolt. I ended up unscrewing the top hinge form the frame (removing the 2 bolts just under the saddle). Not sure if that was the best choice because repositioning the hinge wasn't easy, but it worked
  • my mounting hardware for the shock was M8x30 and M8x22.199. The x30 (top) fit perfectly, the x22.199 was loose: i measured 22.86mm for the opening. Rather than ordering a new one, I 3d printed 2 spacers, which seem to work well
  • My shock is a Fox dpx2. It fits pretty well, but the access to the air valve is tight, I can barely connect my pump to the valve.
  • I used a Fox36 fork, that barely clears the frame, after using the 0.5 degree angle spacer from Reverse, which is about 10mm tall. BTW, jham asked about installing the angle spacer: it is an "interference fit", just like a standard crown race. I used a piece of PVC pipe with id of about 1.5" to push it down, with the help of a rubber mallet

As for my component list, most of them are reused form other builds or both 2nd hand:
  • fork: Fox36 w/ GRIP2 damper. The damper adjustments barely clear the frame even after adding the angle spacer
  • rear shock: Fox dpx2, see my comments above for the mounting hardware
  • drivetrain: SRAM Eagle GX, with SRAM DUB 89/92 pressfit bottom bracket
  • wheelset: Lightcarbon 350MB-AD938-Race, shared with my other frame
  • breakset: Shimano M8200, which I got new at a good price form a seller on Pinkbike. The rotors are generic from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082NVF3TD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
  • dropper post: and old Tranzx 31.6x140. I pushed it all the way down the downtube.. and it still might be too high, I need to double check it, but I have not measured the insertion depth
  • saddle: a SDG Radar.. I have no idea of how good or comfortable it is, I got it at a discount because my other SGB Bel Air failed, but I have to say that I like a lot my WTB Volt on the other bike
  • stem and Carbon Handlebar: inexpensive from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0916YJ81R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JPF4T71/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
  • headset and Sitclamp: I used the one that came with the frame. The frame also came with 4 cable hole plugs, for the larger holes by the bottom of the downtube. They are rubber, not easy to install. Not sure if they will hold
  • missing: chainstay (and maybe downtube) protection. I have something that might work, but I haven't tried to install it yet.

I hope this is helpful to others..

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Anybody else posting their build pictures?
Somebody else must have built by now!

BTW, I did a couple of rides on this bike (40km, 1200m of elevation in total) and I'm pretty impressed:
  - relatively efficient on the way up
  - handles well on steep downhill
  - it is easier to handle in tight spots than my LCFS947 (Lightcarbon), even though the geometries are very close.

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! After being out of town, waiting for parts, and finding the time. I was finally able to finish the build up today. Hopefully I can get it in some dirt soon.

Re: Monsuta x Snacks AM831 build installed the shock. had to grind down the hardware for the rear as it was 8x23 and the space is measuring to 22.86.

i would be rushing through this build so i can head out and ride it but im still waiting on shifter/RD so no point in doing so.
