I can confirm that two bottles fit quite well in a large FM936 frame!
Does anybody have concerns that advertised frame is not EVO?
It's around 28.4 lbs with pedals.
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.
First post: just made a deposit on a 936 with 120mm - available in 3-4months. Shock stroke is 42.5, same as NS Synonym with 120mm. What are my options? I found some RS and Fox options. Also a DVO Topaz - fit? Cane Creek DBAir - fit? Manitou Mara seems to be 40 or 45 only. Are there any options where I can adjust stroke easily myself?
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom
I don't recommend DIY painting. Especially if you don't own equipment or place to do.
Also if you crash and cause chipped/scratched paint, you will understand the real pain.
Anyone think using a needle file is likely to work, to remove the clear attached to and around the bearings? Any other ideas?
Regarding the sag; For me, I need the SID luxe stuffed with volume spacers to get 35% sag at full pressure, which also results in never using the bottom quarter or so of the travel. My hope is that a bigger shock without volume spacers will use more of the travel. The desire to lift the sag into to 25-30% range is due to the extremely low bottom bracket; when tired in an XC race then minimising the need to manage pedal strikes over roots is desirable! If the sag is a bit less, then the bottom bracket is marginally higher. It probably doesn't make much difference, but having low sag makes you mad at those points!
Do you know if the leverage curve and other suspension kinematics are posted somewhere for either the FM909 or FM936? I thought I saw them once, but the search here sucks.
What headset type does this frame use? If it's ZS it could take -2 deg angleset right?

Found another US based company selling the FM936. At least it's half the cost as the Boltcutter Groove Pony
Does anyone else have chain damage like this? Looks like its about to eat into the carbon. What should I do?
I made one for my fiancé. 10.7kg.. Parts from an old bike. Plan to change suspension 120mm front and change rear normal shox whitout remote locking because the drinking bottle can't fit now without violence
