Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Haha, I didn't message them at all - didn't see the point. Just payment!Yeah I'm going for the 44mm offset SID select too. Also, pretty cool feature with the SID is to change from 100 to 120 or visa versa it seems you only need a 40euro air shaft change.Yes. They always provide the tracking number. I think so, just an air shaft change. It's certainly a good option because the 100mm fork is often much cheaper so you could get a new shaft and still be cheaper than the 120...

If you're looking for a bargain handelbar for you build, you might want to consider this one: Good to know! I'll go that route too, once I'm sure of the stem length I need. July 29, 2020, 03:30:04 AM |

Re: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$
I just did the installation test to a laying around fork. Interesting! Why dont you upload them to google drive/ one drive/ imgur and share the folder they're in? July 29, 2020, 08:45:02 AM |

Maybe try, 'share with anyone with the link', the link should expire if the folder is deleted. July 29, 2020, 08:58:34 AM |

Magura brakes are my go to, Shimano second. Sram brakes I will never use again. July 29, 2020, 05:01:42 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
If I do go through with this build, I would like to go ultralight (were it makes sense to do so from a cost/robustness standpoint). Here is my initial thoughts on a built list. Any feedback is appreciated. (attached) I have a similar build going and all parts are in the house. Here are some comments: Shock - the SidLuxe is lighter than 330, I will get a weight posted today Wheels - I am not sure I would go that light if you are looking for a more aggressive downhill experience Bottle cage - Only room for one, unless you plan to run an adapter to fit two As someone else stated, I went with X01 11Spd and slightly used X01 Eagle crank. This was a huge money saver and weight is very competitive. July 30, 2020, 08:20:38 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I would definitely go with a hub that can be serviced and has readily available bearings, freewheels, etc. I have a set of light bicycle 32h rims laced to American Classic (went out of business) 350 disc hubs that I just converted to boost and XD driver. I am concerned with finding XD drivers going forward...but the bearings are readily available in low and high quality. +1 on brass nippels when using carbon rims! I learned the lesson about brass nipples the hard way. Stan's fluid is apparently caustic (due to ammonia in it) and ate the tops off all the aluminum nipples. I had to cut several spokes to get the wheel apart to swap the hub. Nothing like cutting $3.50 Sapim bladed spokes with wire cutters... I am rebuilding the wheel with brass. I'll take the 12g penalty! July 30, 2020, 03:14:21 PM |

Hey Colt, Can you link the model you ordered? I didn't see any that came with the shaped spacers. Also, the clone I ordered did not come with any markings on the bar for stem length, torque spec, or width cut guides. Possibly because I requested matte black with no logo? Thanks July 31, 2020, 10:38:08 AM |
