Re: Carbonda FM909 Some of the details of my build.  Shock pivot pin threads were kind of buggered up, so made a new Ti pin with some stainless bolts.  Also turned a custom 8mm to 1/2 bushing for shock mount out of TECAPEEK.  Accents in copper, plan was for "dolemite" to be in chrome, but that failed miserably so black for now.

This axle seems to be to short. I tried a 171mm axle one hour ago and it is much to short. The hanger design allows you to see the axle and the thread..
179.. maybe 178 or 177. But I wouldn't go shorter

Had same problem with my sons.  We put a small washer /shim behind to take up a small amount of the length and that fixed it.  Also emailed Wing about this to let them know they need slightly shorter Axel.

Yon can apply 3M 2228 tape, it is pretty thick and protects well from stone impacts.

This is what I did. Made good experience with previous bikes

Re: Carbonda FM909 Sons been riding hos now aince Christmas.  So far no real issues.  Here is a video of him descending dkwn a local trail tjat is generally pretty gnarly.  Probably more suited to a longer travel bike but this thing did the job and he didnt flat or destroy a wheel.

Sorry. I was under the impression from earlier discussion that the bar shown wasn't included (or possible to get) with this frame. It appears I was mistaken.  Thank you.  I would like to run this bar/headset with the Fm936 frame if possible.

With FM936 this handlebar will unfortunately not work because you can´t use ACR headset with FM936.

Re: Workswell WCB-R-366 / 358 Workswell quoted me US$799 + $259 shipping for a WCB-R-136 last year (inc. bar/seatpost). I guess some of their frames are just more expensive than the likes of Velobuild. Nice looking paint job Pedaldancer!

Re: Workswell Frames I actually just realised that the WCB-R-268 frame discussed in this thread is (as far as I can see) the same frame as a Velobuild VB-R-099. The frame looks identical and the geometry table is identical, although the shape of the fork looks somewhat different.

The VB-R-099 is $499 (plus $117 shipping), including integrated handlebar, axles, seat post and spare derailleur hanger/headset spacers. That's like 40% less than a Workswell WCB-R-268! Certainly makes me question Workswell pricing. Personally I had a very positive experience with Velobuild. My many questions were answered quickly. The frame/wheels were shipped within 48 hours of ordering and they arrived with me in the UK in less than 3 weeks.
