Re: New Carbonda 2023
Raising the BB on the 936 a bit would be a good thing, it is really low IMO.

Any idea what the HTA will be with the new linkage?  I assume it will be a bit steeper, maybe 67-68ish with a 120mm fork?

Thanks
See drawing

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts New 120mm linkage installed.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Did you get the 120 linkage as a separate piece? I've been waiting for it to become available so I can bump up to 120.

Yes, michael and me ordered the 120mm linkage as piece parts.
Price was 95 USD per linkage plus 60 USD for shipping.

Who was your point of contact @ Carbonda? I've dealt with Win in the past, but it's been a while since I've reached out to him.

I placed the order via Alibaba.com.
Our contact person was Wing Lee.

Thanks for sharing this! Have you measured the distance between seatstay bridge and seat tube at full stroke?

I have not measured.
Only visual checked.

You didn't give us the most important information.
How many grams shaved ?  ;D

Maybe 1 or 2 grams  8)
Due to the removal of the blue spacer out of the rock shox ultimate deluxe rct  ;)
The linkage weight is equal. 
HA = 65,5 ° (measured with digital pitch gauge)
The last picture shows the new cheap areo wheelset  ;D ;D

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Awesome!
Can you measure the distance between the rocker-pivot and the other pivots for both?

Clearly it extends the rear wheel further now, so bottomout geometry is the same for both versions.
The tiny bit higher dynamic ride height might be beneficial for this frame, with its low BB and slack headangle.

Rocker pivot to shock pivot 48mm (100mm rocker)
Rocker pivot to shock pivot 49mm (120mm rocker)
Rocker pivot to rear-end pivot 64mm (100mn rocker)
Rocker pivot to rear-end pivot 62mm (120mm rocker)
New 120mm  rocker on the left hand side of the pictures

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
A lot of us were running 100/120 and it is a bit different bike at 120/120 now with the new link.  Should be VERY similar geo to 100/100, just more suspension and a higher BB.


My buddy Michael has both version in his garage.
100/100 (9,4kg) for xc race and marathon.
120/120 (10,4) for every day use.
He could now compare both bikes.
