Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Not sure if this link was not posted here...Yeah, it was posted already, a long time ago. I love the "Designed and Engineered in Hamburg" stamp in the last picture. Or wait... Hamburg is now in China ?

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Here is some more fire to the BB soup ! If you plan to use a DUB or 30mm spindle take a BSA. If you plan to use a 24mm spindle or GXP(that sucks for bearing life) take the BB92. So sad they do not provide BB386 frames( a wider PF30) All the bikes I've built for friends and family(about 30) and my bikes(about 12,000km/y) are PF. PF is lighter and if done right, trouble free. BSA comes from the old times of metallic frames that were threaded directly, without any additional interface. Here it is a tiny alloy shell that is bonded to the carbon. On such a loaded area, it is simply a call for troubles. Since I plan to have a DUB spindle I took BSA and SL(because I'm WW) I'm just hoping Carbonda will offer a well aligned and robust BSA.

Re: List of Full Suspension MTB Frames
If you look around in this forum, you will find a recent conversation saying there was no full sus Ti frames from the direct-from-China Ti builders(yet). Just hardtails, gravel or road. To have an idea of the current hot frames look at: http://chinertown.com/index.php/board,8.0.html The FM936, with its new geometry, is the most popular right now. November 18, 2020, 12:13:56 AM |

Re: XCADEY XPower-S Power Meter €219
 Maiden voyage today for the Sigeyi, about 60km in mudland ! It paired instantly with my Wahoo Bolt. Gave power, cadence and even an estimate of L/R balance data. All this, during the whole ride. Just maybe a bit generous on my max power today The magnetic charging port is very smart compared to my other PMs. Pardon me the inelegant blue/gold match, the chainring was planned for my next blue bike It is my first Deckas chainring, and it looks great, at a great price. No noise at all with the chain today. Hopefully they made it from a good alloy and it will last long. November 22, 2020, 10:09:38 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Thanks for the feedback! Where did you order your Novatec hubs and Pillar spokes? Just don't use Pillar alloy nipples. They disintegrate and seize with the spoke after a couple of years. They may have improved during the last 5 years. Either use Sapim ones, or brass if you don't mind the grams. Recently when looking to build the cheapest wheels possible with Lightbicycle. The price between the Pillar 1420 and Sapim CX-Ray wasn't a big difference, about 30-40€ if I remember well. November 22, 2020, 11:04:51 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
...But I want a shock with remote! Are you European ? One of the first review of the couple Ultimate fork/shock I saw on youtube was with one(the) product manager. And they had good fun, mocking Europeans that absolutely wanted a lock. I'm one too, but will try without. Since it appears to be cultural

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Carbonda website down? Oh noooo! They must be bankrupt, with all our deposits evaporated! Or maybe, just maybe, they are more frame builders than webmasters, and it will take them a couple of days to fix it
