Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Does anyone knows if a piggyback shock (like the FOX DPX2) will fit in the frame? Havn't tried it, but think it will fit... A bottle fits in the frame, so why would a piggyback wouldn't. Another question... How tight is your lower linkage bolted together; howmany newtonmeters? Just talked with Adam about my issue and ge said he wanted to send me new aluminium parts?! Don't think that will be the answer... He will check it with qc. March 19, 2020, 08:47:41 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Riding a 42.5 shock I can tell you the chance of having isseus is minimal. Rode a bikepark!! with this bike without problems. Even cleared a jump of several meters! Did also some enduro tracks in the Dolomites(Italien Alps) as xc biking there and it was great. Better than last years biking with a canyon nerve; better going up and way better going down.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I've been riding a 42.5 mm stroke shock on my size L frame since March. Plenty of clearance with the shock bottomed out, never had any contact between the seat stay brace and seat tube. Not even any semblance of worry that it might happen, because it won't. Just like a said earlier...lot of hypothetical shit...in real world zero issues after riding endoro en even a bike park with big jumps and botteming out! This bike gives lots of convidence July 24, 2020, 01:16:32 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Yeah, the Sapphire is quite a bit heavier than the Fox 34 SC, but it is such a night and day better fork that the weight penalty doesn't matter to me. Totally agree...got the same one Only downside of dvo is the poor support in Europe, hardly any suplier has got spare/service parts July 25, 2020, 02:41:08 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I can comment on it after almost 3000km on it and recently biked in the Alpes. Using a rs deluxe 165x42.5 shock with 30% sag and 80+kg geared up. There is some visible moving while biking, but not noticable while biking offroad. On tarmac I sometimes use the paddlestand when hammering...but not sure it really helps.. On steep and technical climbing without lockout without a doubt, more traction and controll, love the active suspension...like to sit while climbing btw. Hopefully this helps you.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Thanks, is this normally supplied with the shock or with the frame?I wonder if I'm missing a plastic reduction bushing or something like that on my rear shock. The hole is 15,2mm on my float DPS No. You have to buy it seperatly August 12, 2020, 10:29:43 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hi guys, received my frame and I have a question. Yep its normal... because of the flexstays I think. If you push harder watch out it won't hit the seatstay. Good luck building it up August 16, 2020, 03:22:48 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hey Guys, anyone have a link to the shock hardware? I bent mine. You can meassure it and go to your local hardwarestore...or send adam/carbonda a massage (which will take a while due to Chinese newyear). Ps how did you manage that? February 15, 2021, 01:42:24 PM |
