Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Hi guys,

I ordered my FM1156 Medium frame back in July 2020 but it took until early December before Adam finally sent the frame and I received it just in time for Christmas!

It’s too late to test it now as here in Canada it’s fatbike time! I’ll try to post ride impressions next summer!

I fitted the frame with a Fox DPX2 185x55mm and a 140mm Fox 34 Factory Grip2 44mm.

I will change my 30mm Stem for a 60mm Stem because the in the final specs the reach is 26mm shorter.

I recommend you order the frame with their headset as the upper set is not standard.
The lower headset is standard so I used a Cane Creek IS52/40
And don’t forget to order a spare derailleur hanger it’s only 5$!

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Very nice build @Flo7!

I am also really interested in this frame, but sizing is difficult based on the geo-chart/drawing. It seems the drawing is an M-size. Headtube angle seems to be around 66 degrees based on drawing and pictures of finished builds.
I am running a mullet now and this frame should also be good for that kind of setup. Seat post angle is so steep and bb so high that the lower  back wheel axle would not be a problem. That would give a little bit slacker headtube angle and shorter reach.

Funny thing with the size is that XL size is almost identical to my current bike and I am not a big guy! I am 179cm tall and 83cm inner leg and usually ride M or L sizes.

But I would rather have a long bike with short stem then vice versa.

If the ones who already have this built up could comment on size and how it rides it would be much appreciated!

Re: Full suspension AM ~140mm chiner for virgin builder. I like the Carbonda FM1002. It's a bit more travel at 150 mm, but has modern geo with 78° HTA and 64.5° STA. It's new, so not many reviews. I've ordered the AM831 on the group buy  which is the SC Hightower clone, VPP with 150 mm travel. Again, it's new, so only a few people have one, but they seem happy with it.

Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build Purely anecdotal. I've had a DNM air shock, albeit on a recumbent bike, that was terribly unsensitive. Dunno if the seals had such high friction or what, but you basically had to ride off a curb to get it going. And then it just blew through all of its travel. I wouldn't want that on such a nice frame, especially with the high anti squat you need a sensitive shock.

Re: Fiber based spokes thread These are really cool! The user MaineLotus in the MTBR thread has done an excellent job with this. I've ridden with him many times and the bike is impressive to say the least.

The idea seems great but then I see many used ones for sale and this article: https://gravelbikes.cc/tests/4-forks-comparison-which-is-the-most-compliant-one/
Makes me question its usefulness.

I've pondered the idea quite a bit for my new gravel bike but in the end, decided to stick with a rigid fork. For my wife though, it's more of a necessity than a novelty. She's been suffering from neck issues for the past couple of years and has pretty much given up on mountain biking at this point. Even riding her Domane on gravel roads is a bit much. I'm hopeful that a drop bar bike with 700c*45mm tires and roughly 40mm of squish would be a great option for her. Just trying to get creative and see what I can come up with.

Re: The Different Types of Carbon Fiber and Their Characteristics It will be nice if this thread could also explain the differences between various tensile strengths and tensile modulus, e.g., T700 T800 T1000.
