Re: Carbonda FM909
Greetings to all. I received my frame, which I ordered in October last year. Frame sailed from China to Ukraine for exactly 2 months by sea. The frame looks much better than my old FM936. It is also lighter by 300g, the weight of the bare frame reaches 1960g. The quality of the seats is high. Bearings 6901*2 and 6801*8 are installed in the frame. The frame is assembled on 12 axes, FM936 was on 10 axes. There is no protection of the bearings from dirt. The construction is such that there is nowhere to insert even custom seals. The headset consists of two healthy 52mm bearings. Why this was done is not clear, it is heavy. Really liked the SRAM UDH rear derailleur holder. although for its quick replacement you need an ALLEN KEY 10mm. I will build a bike soon, it's a pity that there is no place to ride now ( July 20, 2022, 03:20:24 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
I'm about to need a second bike and was going for another 936. I have both frames. I think that the 936 have better looks: The downtube is prettier when it is a straight line. 936 has better entries in the frame for cables (screw on lids). The Fm 909 is just slightly lighter than the 936 std-model. 909 ha better placing of the rear suspension (easier to reach lever). In some way I like the feeling in 936 better when riding.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
Just got the initial paint proofs back from Katie at Carbonda. Zooky, I appreciate you taking the plunge first. At 100 kg, I should be able to give you some idea of durability though am really just getting started with local enduro runs and tend to shy away from huge drops and jumps. I went with pastel orange. Maybe a little lighter in color than I was envisioning but I think it'll look good with some dirt on it. Will keep you posted.

Re: Carbonda FM909
...Skip the headset and get a good one from FSA or Cane Creek if they make one...The hate on this poor little thing surprise me each time  ? I ride in a rainy/muddy country. Bearings particularly suffer here. The cheap headsets you get with the frame with a good layer of marine grease(especially on top of the bottom bearings) will last as much as the more expensive ones. Even more if you ride a dry area. An integrated headset is just bearings and some shims and caps, no special tech here. With bearings that will never see any speed or make a full turn in their life, why not spend elsewhere your hard earned cash ? September 29, 2022, 12:05:03 AM |

Re: LightCarbon 918?
Finished with my LCFS918. I really like the lines of the frame. The quality of the frame is as always with Light Carbon great. This was really a smooth build without problems. And the bike is light, size L about 12 KG. October 19, 2022, 06:29:11 AM |

Re: LightCarbon 918?
I have choosen the Deore driveline but with a SLX shifter. Its a bit heavier but the preformance is great and the price is resonable. I have gone for 11S to save a little weight.
