Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
Just barely had light enough at the end of the day to get it out and try our local trails last night. I can only compare it with my 2017 Diamondback Release aluminum framed bike (similar to a Santa Cruz 5010 in geometry). The FM 1003 definitely did what I needed it to. It climbs at least as well as my diamondback and just smashes through EVERYTHING on the descent. I took a couple of bad lines that put me into rocks that I normally try to avoid and found that I could just ride over them with impunity. I've had more pedal strikes on this bike than with my Diamondback, but I think it's mostly been my line choices. If I can get out of work early enough this afternoon, I'll give it some more seat time. I'm pretty pleased with it and the paint looks great so far.

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29
Hi Benny, what's about your frame now?Has the assembly been completed? sorry for my English, i am Malaysian, bear with it here i gonna share my build that finish last week, and been participated a DH competition in malaysia mersing, frame size is M size Parts : FOX 36 grip 2 160mm FOX float X2 Formula CURA 4 4 piston brake (gonna change to deore 4 pot due to compatibility to frame and deore 4 pot is the best brake and value in my humble opinion) Shimano m9100 rotors MULLET setup: entity SLX 29/27.5 (from polygon T8/7) gonna try LC rim when the bills pile up Shimano deore 1x12 CS Shimano deore FC crank Shimano XTR RD Shimano pro 50mm stem Shimano pro handle bar Shimano pro seatpost FOX transfer 175mm dropper (not recommend it, too long even with 180cm height) vinyl wrap Mazda soul red but turnout it more like a charry red I did printed out the mudguard that shared by Tjhosan to see is it fit float x2, however it is a blind section, i guess it is ok, as i survive 2 feet drop and huge road gap without cracking the mudguard.. geometry is superb, came from polygon t8 L size 29er user, this bike felt light to control on air, fun, rock garden section became so much controllable compare to T8 to the dropper length, 175mm dropper definitely is a huge NO for m size frame, i barely use 125 of droppers travel, and i am a 180cm height person the 130mm insert is not enough to make the dropper comfortable either climbing nor moving in the air. gonna change to 150mm dropper, and i guess it will be perfect as it will lower down at least 25mm length at retreated position.
