Thanks! And don't worry about the delay, it is also covered in snow here in Oslo at the moment.

actually I got it the other day and installed it. Haven't traveled yet. From a home test it is clear that the initial sensitivity of the damper is higher and the final progression too. In general, the way the digressive and linear work of shock absorbers is drawn on the graphs is the same feeling from the test at home.

traction mode is softer than fox

difference in air spring progression in open mode and traction mode is about 30%

cable pull 15 mm, need twinloc remote

real stroke 38 mm

in details, the shock absorber feels simpler and cheaper than fox)

I will use:

Nude has 15mm cable pull. Oneloc 10mm and only two modes.

Let's get this party started

with which remote lever will you use the nude?

Oddly, I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing for the same reason...

If you do it let me know how it goes!

yes, okay, I'll write the impressions of the ride, but it will probably be in April or May. It's cold and snowing here in Russia until that time :)

What's wrong with your fox dps? Why you want to replace it?

everything is fine with it, but I want remote lockout and there is a desire to change the digressive damper to a linear

I'm thinking about replacing fox dps (ebay oem giant anthem 2018) with rockshox nude rlc3, what do you think? wouldn't it be a step back in performance and reliability?

Got mine finished :)

could you share your impressions about the shock absorber dt535 after long-term use. How does it feel to ride? how reliable is it? what problems have you had with it?

Cracked the chainstay on my 936 today, pedal strike then crash.  Was hoping it was just a crack in the top coat, but now I can see water weeping through crack (from inside the chainstay).      :-\


I'll see what Carbonda says, not expecting a full warranty here.  I've put about 2200 hard miles on it so far.

my chainstay cracked at the point marked with the arrow along, through. Adam wrote to saw them and sent out new ones as soon as they were ready.

(received new ones today)

Ilya, do you use 170 or 175 mm cranks? And if 175, how it feels regarding hitting obstacles (I mean pedal strikes)?

Changed 175 to 170, touched the roots from 175

Je reviens sur le sujet du verrouillage de l'amortisseur.
Personnellement je règle l'amortisseur avec beaucoup de sag pour que le vélo soit souple en descente et donc j'utilise souvent le verrouillage en montée (scott spark).
Donc question: la position de l'amortisseur "tête en bas" sur le FM936 ne positionne-t-il pas le levier de verrouillage trop loin? De la mon hésitation avec le FM909.
Merci

it is almost impossible to use the switch on the shock absorber on the go

How many people are running this frame with 120mm fork?  That would slack out the HTA to 66deg.  Which is slacker than my current 130/140mm trail bike.  Curious how ppl find it with 120mm.  Also I did notice the BB drop is pretty low on this bike, so the 120mm can help raise the BB.

i use 120mm fork, fits this frame great

I had the same thoughts, I am 180cm tall and didn't know whether to go L or XL. My other bike has a reach of 480mm, top tube of 630mm and I use a 35mm stem. so the large carbonda seemed like it would be too small. In the end I bought a large FM1001, I've put a 50mm stem on to increase top tube length to bars, so it'll be a little shorter than my current bike but probably a bit more stable pedalling with the 50mm stem.

it will be interesting to read the reviews about the ride, and long term review. Now I have fm936 and I periodically think about changing to fm1001

If I summarize all the basic math:

1) most of the droppers does not have offset => saddle moves forward even a bit more
2) The main diff for the frame makes seat-angle and Saddle-BB distance is ~8cm diff from old geometry => it is the ~same diff like Road and TT bike saddle

^^^ all the things are the ~same on M and L frames, so the only important diff is Reach

I do not care about stack in terms of saddle-height - it is just 1.5cm diff. But in terms of handle-bar height, sometimes lower stack helps to lower the handlebar without slam it down too much.

And looks like the main diff is really only top-tube length, which is 61 or 64cm, and to compensate your saddle-handlebar distance all you need is stem which is 3cm longer or shorter. So, frame M+10cm stem = L+7cm stem or M+6cm = L+3cm. Looks simple - all I need is to decide stem length.

Small point that L frame adds 0.5cm _back_ to the saddle => to hold the same top-tube you should substract the 0.5cm from stem too.

If I go M => it is not very aggressive position compared to L, I can compensate it with stem, but, probably it is not idea on descend. and 3cm shorter wheelbase, which, probably makes it a bit more nimble, which is a plus for the long bike
If I go L => stem is shorter, and body position is a bit lower too, the only negative thing that stack increased, which prevents you from going lower with handlebar

I have height 180, frame size L, stem 60mm

about the length of the stem. With a stem longer than 60mm, okay, 70mm oversteer becomes too strong, the bike tends to turn deeper into the turn and you have to steer the opposite way, not letting it go too far into the turn.

therefore, my advice for a height of 180 + cm is to take size L and stem of 50-70mm

Has anyone bent there upper shock mount? I did a search but could find anyone mentioning that. Its very slight so I'm hoping its just a bolt quality issue. All the other bolts in the linkage were torqued properly and no play at the bushing.

If anyone has I could use a link to what you replaced it with.
Thank you

Yes, I also bent a little, I bought a new bolt on aliexpress and everything became fine. Unfortunately the original carbonda bolts are not of very good quality

this bolt, lenght 40mm https://aliexpress.ru/item/32346297012.html?spm=a2g39.orderlist.0.0.626d4aa6Epw2fK&_ga=2.238546816.1248168000.1635175814-2025224587.1629912215&_gac=1.48907732.1633550633.CjwKCAjwkvWKBhB4EiwA-GHjFh1f2ima6Yzra606rzp_VI4RPxiWXupqcG65UfpDAKXqSkqe_XHaIBoCtIkQAvD_BwE
