Thank you! Spacer on top of stem wasn't big enough to preload it. Sorted now thanks for your help.

Thanks for that. I seem to have a gap between top of frame and headset, there is also a wobble which i can't seem to iron out. Many thanks

Sorry I have been away. Thanks for your advice much appreciated.
Do you know the order of the drop in headset from Carbonda?
Especially the two thin steel rings. Thanks

Great advice mate really appreciate it. Would you say 170mm cranks? Hope your 1003 build is coming on well for you!

Thanks mate I have ordered it.
What is the chainline on these frames do you know?
Trying to pick a crankset. Can't wait for frame to arrive!
Cheers

If I was to order the RWC needle bearings would I need the 8x30 kit? Cheers

« on: January 11, 2023, 02:05:03 PM »The trunnion end is all set with the supplied bolts, you just need hardware for the rocker arm end. Because this end rotates so significantly during travel, I used a RWC roller bearing for maximum small bump performance instead of DU bushings. But regular Fox DU bushings or similar (DVO sells their own that is basically identical) will get the job done.
The RWC bearings are great but you also have to get the special RWC installation tool to reliably get them in place. Regular bushing presses aren’t stable enough to do it perfectly straight.
I will probably opt for the bushing to keep costs low for now as I'm already over budget. Could you link me to the correct ones if possible? For 1002 frame & Topaz shock. Its all new to me, lol.
Cheers

Great thanks for the tips. Will be sure to try pick up an FSA headset.
Will I need additional hardware to mount the Topaz 205x60 shock? Its brandnew.

Wow, thanks guys for your advice.
Think I'll go with the 1002 frame, paired with a DVO Topaz shock.
How is the paint from Carbonda? Im debating on just getting the matt black as they said it's clear coated too, will get it a lot faster.
Also do you press the headset in these carbon frames like Al?
Thanks again!

Looking to buy either the Carbonda FM1001 or FM1002.
Is the 1002 a full enduro frame?
I ride mostly black trails with 6ft ish drops, would the 1001 cope with my 120kg, or would the longer travel 1002 suit me ?
I'd like it to be a good climber too.
Any help would be great, I'm new to carbon in general but the geo looks great on these frames.
Thanks
