I'm also curious if the gravel derailure with the clutch works with the 2x at the front.

« on: June 07, 2022, 05:23:11 AM »I honestly don't think the FM936 is functional with a 100mm, I get pedal strike with 120mm and 2.4" tires. I don't understand how anyone can ride it on rocks and that kind of terrain, without damaging cranks.
...and constant pedal strikes on every tech climb

If you search in this forum 'Fox DPS' '42.5' , '45' you'll see the answers. I run a giant anthem fox 42.5 dps and the tune is perfect.
General question, would someone be able to make a short video of the left right frame flex when standing/moving on one pedal? just trying to see if mine if normal. Thanks!

« on: March 25, 2022, 07:21:52 AM »Do I need a remote lockout?I have the giant anthem fox float dps with 3 pos lockout, not remote.
Having read the Vitus Rapide Fs review, a stickered up FM936, on Off.Road.CC and the reviewer who I know to be a good MTB racer did comment on how active the suspension was when pedalling even with higher pressure, which I guess is why I'm deliberating so much!
I'm 70kg and I don't feel all that much bobbing out of the saddle. Even less in the trail mode. different shocks will of course react differently. I don't feel the need to reach for the trail or lockout mode except for fire road climbs or road sections.

« on: March 10, 2022, 04:22:06 AM »Hi there. What color code is this? I'm thinking of something like this color, maybe RAL5000 "violet blue" with glitter. I like this look and couldn't find what code this or zilcho's color codes are. May be ordering a FM 909 or 936. Thanks for any helpI just sent them a picture of Zilcho's frame and they did it exactly the same!
still love the colour and the pain quality is great.

« on: February 21, 2022, 12:07:28 PM »Whew!!! All 131 pages thoroughly read! The 936 has been high on my list of potential frames, but the hardware quality has been a bit of a booger, IMO. I did some digging into the other brands using the frame and came across this on the Vitus page: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0365/1272/7173/files/RapideFS_Metric_Spare_Parts_Kit_External.pdf?v=1630512037 It's a superb breakdown of all the pivots, hardware, bearings, everything in the 936 frames! Hopefully, it will be of use to those of us in need of replacement hardware.
Thanks for this, has anyone found where to buy replacements though? Do I have to contact Vitus?

« on: February 03, 2022, 10:14:32 AM »I've never ridden a bike so comfortable and efficient in downhills, it's really amazing. It also climbs very well, the position is super natural when I thought I was a bit lost with the huge reach coupled with a 60mm stem.What bars are you running?
For the photos I think I have found a good compromise between size and quality, I'll keep the same settings

« on: January 28, 2022, 06:07:39 AM »I won't buy a frame that doesn't have BSA / T47. Threaded is the only way to go.
From an engineering POV, a properly toleranced bb92/bb86 is better because it allows for a wider BB area. The issue is most manufacturers have POS QA and that causes excessive bb wear/creaking. My Carbonda fm936 has 0 bb creaks and a well-toleranced bb bore.

« on: January 24, 2022, 04:36:01 AM »How are your Magene P325 CS cranks doing? Would you still recommend them? I'm looking for a new set of cranks with a power meter for my VB-R-168 at the moment and they're at the top of my list.
I got them during the kickstarter for the Sub 300 usd price tag, I 100% reccomend them. I really like the. Spot on compared to my elite turbo trainer. They've been flawless I have to say, follow the instructions and you'll be grand.
