Re: Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
Where did you source the fork? Model#?I ordered directly from the Airwolf store on Aliexpress. They offer the same frameset on eBay, at a lower price, but the projected shipping date is much sooner on Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001666589517.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3a3c4c4dPQJrOl January 23, 2021, 09:31:59 AM |

Re: Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
Nice with this white paintjob and red components ! For me, this is 160mm front and rear. Total weight is around 8.5kg, and 8.3kg with the light wheelset that I have on the full-sus. January 26, 2021, 02:19:37 AM |

Re: Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
Tomorrow I'll bleed the brakes, and the build will be complete.

Re: Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
Oooh, I like the white one very much!20.73lbs. Not bad for entry level components with a dropper post.

Re: Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
took me forever but I finally had some time to build it up. I built a big Privateer 161 for bike parks last year and ended up liking is so much I pretty much stopped riding my 30 pound "normal" 140mm travel Intense Primer except on real mellow XC single track. The Intense was built as a light weight trail ride so all the parts made sense on the Airwolf, in XL the air wolf is right around 23.5 pounds with a solid build and meaty tires. only done about 50 miles but so far its exactly what I wanted, eats up climbs and normal single track... Not sure I would push it especially on a rigid fork so anything really steep and rocky I will be bringing the 161

Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail
Happy day... for me at least, as I was not particularly happy trying another seller recently.. Carbonda is selling again a hardtail that in addition has an interesting geometry. The FM-1306A, anyone ordered it already ? August 17, 2022, 11:21:50 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail
Finally built the two this weekend ! No problem to report about the frame. Brake mounts were aligned. Smooth inside. Headtube ends clean. Same great build quality as usual from Carbonda. The pink one is for my sister ! Unfortunately I did order a 31.6 seat tube.  Waiting for the 30.9 to arrive.With GX AXS, a ZTTO cassette as she wanted a rainbow, but didn't want to invest in an eagle cassette, we'll see how it goes. In the picture it is a ZTTO chain, but I don't like the noise it makes, so I have an XX1 on order to replace it. The wheels are the XC925 from lightbicycle.com with 240 EXP hubs, CX-Rays spokes. The ZRACE Hardrock crankset looks well built. The Onirii M4 brakes were a very nice surprise, they look awesome and were very easy to assemble, no bleed required. The brake adapters coming with the frame F PM160->180 and R FM->PM are a bit chunky, but free  I had to file a mm or so from the rear one to let the M4 totally on it. The fork is temporary, she's not a rock garden type of rider, and I try to convince her a rigid fork will be enough. If it works, we'll order a pink one, if not, we'll buy another fork.

Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail
The second black one(size L, the pink is in M) is more on a budget build. Shimano M6100 components. DT-Swiss 1900 wheels. Onirii M4 brakes(I had to bleed the rear, just putting the funnel, and getting some bubble out of the lever). A Judy fork. A Elita one seatpost and a UNO stem too. February 20, 2023, 03:11:15 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail
@Pedaldancer, it was a joke, no worries  Just to report, that the ZTTO chain noise was coming from a bad rear derailleur setup The final weight is 8.3Kg. I received the seatpost yesterday, Aliexpress has a very fast delivery to Belgium since a few months. February 22, 2023, 06:09:20 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM-1306A a 69° Hardtail
Hello everybody, I still must wait a little bit, but the frame is painted.  it turned out really great. Exactly as the drawing.Let's see when it is here.. since it's for my Dad, I definitely "must" and will do some test rides to have all screwed connections and bearings settled so he won't need to do anything, just hop on and ride. The wheels are already finished,I built a robust combination of Duke Aluminum rims , CX Ray and DT Swiss 350 hubs.. and to give it a tiny bit of shine i took blue nipples. can't upload a photo of them ... don't know why.
