Hi,
Is the Vitus Rapide FS & FM936 exactly the same in terms of getting the same hardware and bearings?
I got 2 assembly drawings, 1 from vitus and 1 from carbonda.
I notice on the carbonda drawing, there is a 'clip' in one of the pivots as Part No. 10.
this doesn't exist in the vitus drawing.
Please let me know what you guys think
The clips you mentioned are only in the link for 100mm. In the new link they aren't there anymore. I personally think the older link was a better design; more coverage of the bearings.
So I think the vitus has a slightly different link design... But for your bearings it doens't matter... If it's the same size it's fine.
Ps last sunday I've done the first ride with the new link. More ground clearence, but I've also ridden it with just 25% sag. Felt very direct, but also a bit harsh. Think I need to lower the SAG.
Strangely I need less psi(165psi by 82kg instead of 180psi) with the new link, but could be accounted to the new tune, medium in stead of light...
Someone comments on this?
