Re: Carbonda FM909 Now the weather got much better in the last couple of weeks and today I did a longer trip.
The S frame fits two 750ml bottles. Using a sideloader , of course  ;)

I am still not sure if I should lower the front 1cm, but so far it's a good match for me.

Hi azuzu501

What handlebar are you using?

Cheers,
John

Hey!

Sorry for the long reply, I rarely visit this forum)

I use a Chinese copy of the Gemini Kastor steering wheel. (https://ridegemini.com/en/tienda/kastor-en/)   (https://clck.ru/gun3z)

I am very radical in choosing a bike. I really wanted to have
the longest possible wheelbase and I love short stems very much.

Accordingly, with a height of 174cm, I bought an L frame and put a handlebar on it with a 10mm offset. I really like this control, I really do not like long stems.

Now the fit on the bike is set up and I am very satisfied

Re: Carbonda FM909 Did my first proper fast xc ride over the weekend.

Happy to report it was a really awesome experience. Was surprised how well the 909 climbed and how smooth it was in general.

I am not used to a bike this long so cornering and drops will take a little getting used to timing perfectly for me.

All in all, super happy. Great bike.

Early days yet, but nothing to complain about on my side!

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts My build!

As the frame is the same as the Vitus Rapide I was toying with idea of just getting a Vitus as that was good value in 2021, but in 2022 the prices have jumped a fair bit for the same bike, so for me it was as good, if not better value to build up a FM936 myself.

I wanted a fast trail bike that I could race XC on if I felt the need. All parts are sensible, nothing excessive and all functional.

Superlight frame, with Scott Nude shock and Scott twinloc lever that I got to work with the SID ulitmate fork. 'Just Riding Along' XC alu wheelset, Schwalbe tyres, mostly XT transmission, brand-x dropper, fairly bog-standard finishing kit - weight with pedals/cage/frame protection/etc is under 26lb and cost me just over £3000 give or take - not including the 4iiii power meter I decided to get.

Very happy with it. Already raced XC on it and it did very well. Happy I hunted out a remote lockout solution for suspension - love it.

:)
