Re: Light Carbon LCFS713 build. Everything installed now on the bike. Only adjustments of brakes and gears left. Maybe some more frame protection as well. But I'm really happy with the build so far. There is always small things to struggle with but I'm in no hurry, autumn, rain, mud, is here and this bike will not be ridden before spring.

Re: Winspace G2 Gravel/Road Help (1st build) If I were you, if you're set on that frame, I'd buy it from Light Bicycle instead.  Customer service tends to be better.  I think Winspace have had significant issues handling their own growth. It's identical.

Do you remember what stainless steel they did use ?
Bolts made of aluminum, not steel.
The original bolts (specialized) are made of aluminum, and so are the Chinese ones. The master said that the Chinese bolts with a tapered thread, it is less than necessary for the M12x1.

P.S. I also asked to make it a hexagon 6, not 8. And now all the bolts and the axle can be tightened with one tool.

Has anyone bent there upper shock mount? I did a search but could find anyone mentioning that. Its very slight so I'm hoping its just a bolt quality issue. All the other bolts in the linkage were torqued properly and no play at the bushing.

If anyone has I could use a link to what you replaced it with.
Thank you

Yes, I also bent a little, I bought a new bolt on aliexpress and everything became fine. Unfortunately the original carbonda bolts are not of very good quality

this bolt, lenght 40mm https://aliexpress.ru/item/32346297012.html?spm=a2g39.orderlist.0.0.626d4aa6Epw2fK&_ga=2.238546816.1248168000.1635175814-2025224587.1629912215&_gac=1.48907732.1633550633.CjwKCAjwkvWKBhB4EiwA-GHjFh1f2ima6Yzra606rzp_VI4RPxiWXupqcG65UfpDAKXqSkqe_XHaIBoCtIkQAvD_BwE

Re: Debating between some frames, please advise

I've rode the FM936 for the last year and I am not interested in vertical rear shocks anymore.

Hi Casual,

Would you mind elaborating why? The last bike I owned with a vertical shock was amazing (knolly chilcotin) but that was before 26” wheels died.

Re: Carbonda FM909 I am really astonished about some statements..

Did you ever see something finished just in time? Development usually  has delay. Of course it's sad to wait. But currently the world is far away from normal. Besides Corona China suffers from a big lack of electricity.. did you know that? It's hard to produce something when you have no power to run the machines.

Also the 707 frame was postponed several times. Now the first owners are already using their bikes. The 909 will come to us. It just takes time. Unfortunately longer than expected. But this is the same story if you order a complete bike, that is not standing around already.

The 100$ predeposit is kind of fair deal. For other goods you have to make a much bigger predeposit ...

Is the sensor loss universal, or just some units, or some sensors? 

I still feel like all of the options are crap.  Garmin 'just works' but maps, navigation and rerouting are all crap, and UX is prehistoric.  Wahoo Bolt V2 is laggy, they still haven't fixed their underreporting of power and work done (kJ) on anything other than Favero on any of their products & deny the issue exists, battery drain is insane when stopped or GPS is lost, no sleep mode or screen sleep mode, screen visibility worst in class. Karoo 2 - bad battery life and bugs galore - including by the sound of it a game breaking one with sensor loss.

I notice that the when on my road bike with a Stages gen 3 PM the connectivity stays strong with the K2. On my gravel bike that has a Stages gen 2 PM though the connection gets interrupted very frequently when pausing and sometimes mid spin. Connectivity with a di2 Ant+ only dongle seems good. I notice that notifications from my phone also aren't consistent and the device often needs to be connected again. Battery life isn't great. Putting into battery saving mode helps but still behind the Wahoo devices. Aside from this happy with the nav and UI and functionality.

Re: Carbonda FM909 There are some good news from my order.
Seemingly my frame has already come to life.
I got the information from Katie that it will be painted next week. 
 :) Yes i am excited. Although I don't think it will be here before January.
