Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame That’s pretty much what mine will look like but with blue lowers and different parts, so this is nice to see!

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame I might email BetterBolts and see if any of their existing Transition shock bolts are that size (their product pages don’t always specify size, just what bike/product they fit). Oil slick Ti would be a nice replacement, but matching head shapes might be important too.

As for shock tuning, with the 1002’s kinematics you probably want to run the bladder as low as possible, 170-175PSI, and only adjust it up if you see a clear reason. That’s what I run on my GT Force and it’s a bit higher leverage/less progressive. I think I’ll probably run one positive spacer on my Force this year, two on the 1002, and no negative spacers on either because they just make the top harsher and don’t change the sag point much unless you’re very close to max PSI.

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame I’ve been talking to BetterBolts and their 8x40mm Transition shock bolt should fit the 1001/1002….I’m going to order two, one in black and one in oil slick, so I can check for sure. Will let you know what the pricing is, and post pics when my frame arrives.

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame Current state of my build.

Everything’s basically together, but I’m temporarily using a solid post to help get my saddle height dialed before installing a dropper to minimize the risk of unseating the cable housing later adjusting it.

Brakes still need some work and the chain isn’t on, but otherwise it’s pretty far through the build process now.

Parts:
DVO Onyx fork, 170mm travel
DVO Topaz T3 shock, 205x60 with RWC roller bearing and BetterBolts oil slick titanium shock bolt
Race Face Sixc 800x35mm bar, 35mm rise
ODI Rogue grips
Industry Nine A35 stem, 32mm length with BetterBolts oil slick titanium bolts
SDG Bel Air 3.0 saddle
29 front wheel - Industry Nine Hydra hub with WTB KOM
Tough i35 rim
27.5 rear wheel - Industry Nine Hydra/DT Swiss 521 (35mm internal)
XTR rotors
XT brakes, shifting, cassette and pedals
Truvativ Descendant cranks
Wheels Manufacturing BB30/DUB bottom bracket
Wolfpack Enduro 2.6 tires
VHS chainstay protector
Misc oil slick bolts
AllMountainStyle frame protection decal kit

My Carbonda FM1002 Build Finally got all the parts for my bike and got it assembled today.
Spent around 5-6 hours from start to finish.
The frame is a Large and is fitted with these parts:
SRAM Eagle NX drivetrain
RockShox Domain 170mm fork
RockShox Deluxe Ultimate rear shock
DT Swiss wheels set 30mm internal width
Schwalbe 2.6 Nobby Nick tyres(Tubeless)
LevelNine seatpost and a used saddle(so i could measure how much space for a dropper post)
E*Thirteen handlebar 800mm wide
Magura MT Trail Sport brakes 203/180mm

Any good "names" for the bike i can get some stickers made, was thinking about Chinalized(Specialized) or Cheep Scrap(Scott Spark).
