Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame

Anyone else having trouble looking at those pics on a monitor?  They are so bloody big I see about 1 tenth of a pic on the screen at a time. (22" monitor)

Same.

Also, just ordered a FM1001 in size XL, and I'm 184 cm

Hey everyone, wanted to re-visit the topic of bearings for this frame. I have been able to identify all the bearings used on this frame. Below are the bearings/quantity

Rocker arm pivot/main chain stay pivot:
F6902-EA - x4. This is a flanged bearing

Seat stay/Chain stay pivots:
F6901 - x8. This is a flanged bearing

Lower shock mount:
6801 - x2

As of right now Enduro carries the f6902-EA and the 6801. Currently they do not carry the F6901. The good news is I have exchanged some emails with Enduro, and it looks like they will be adding the F6901 to the catalog. No ETA but sounds like they will have the standard version and the MAX version.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I bought Enduro max bearings F6902 EA LLU to replace the original bearings, and they're not exactly the same. The flange is slightly thicker on the enduro bearings. The difference means I cannot get the rocker flush with the frame, there's a little gap even with the bearings completely seated.

Anyone had this problem and/or has any suggestions how to deal with it?

Thanks!

I'm bummed to hear the bearings are not the same. I was planning to do a bearing swap this winter. Still can't find a high quality replacement for the F6901's. Did you?

How much of a gap are we talking about? .5mm on each side or a full 1mm or more per side? Filling the gap with some sort of spacer may be the best solution. I would be hesitant to modify the carbon.

Me too, I thought people up-thread had used these bearings already without issue, but it seems the F6902 2RS and the F6902 LLU have slightly different flange thickness.

I would say there is about 1-1.5mm gap total (both sides). My current plan is to get some thicker washers (2.5mm) to replace the washers that sit between the rocker and the frame. Unfortunately they are not a standard size, the standard washer with 15mm inner diameter  is 28mm outer diameter, which is too big.

I haven't ordered the F6901 bearings yet, but I did find some online shops in Europe that stocked them.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I bought some 0.3 mm "tunning washers" in a local shop, and using 2 on each side I can reassemble the rocker without any play. They are made of steel though and I expect them to rust quickly, so longer term I would like to get some of those washers bossman suggested (or something else made of stainless steel).

I didn't change the bottom bearings yet but I expect these won't fit, the extra 1.2 mm will be too wide for the chainstay part.

I think for the other bearings I will buy generic ones, they will need more frequent changing but they are also much cheaper and (I hope) will fit correctly.
