Hi Guys,
I need a new fork :(

I built up CS-092-SL for a friend in 2016. This week the fork broke under trivial stopping load. Would love to buy a replacement fork (and hope it was a one off defect), but I can't get peter to reply to my emails(been 3 days). Usually these guys are super-responsive. All their posts seem to stop in summer of 2017. Anyone bought anything from xmcarbonspeed.com in 2018?



This fork snapped under supposedly very moderate speed under 180-200lb rider who borrowed the bike and tried stopping rapidly.

I'm pretty sure other forks wont fit this frame. Suggestions on what to do?


Lightcarbon.com high quality

Here are 2 links to great frame options the first one is by edge design they have the nicest frames for price they come painted and very high quality only issue is wait time of 90 to 120 days. Also lightcarbon.com 007 the same bike phil giamon uses for nove is a great option t1000 carbon but you have to email them unfortunately I got it removed arguing with nove and phil.

Are theses two frames available in disc ?
The 007 looks great, but I did send two mails already to lightcarbon and didn't get any reply  ???


I can get it send me a message if you want that frame and we can arrange to have lightcarbon send one. The edge take around 120 days to ship.

I am looking for reputable sources for carbon integrated handlebars. Looking for stem length of 70 and bar width of 720 or 740. Anyone using these long term without issues?

These have over 300 buyers and excellent color options basically the same bar just better looking
Sorry to one up you but these are better unless you want an xc bar.
 Cost more though.https://www.diycarbonbikes.com/collections/stem-bars/products/dcb-syncros-hixon

You can get those on aliexpres for $70

So basically planning on buying a Shimano R8070 DI2 Disc groupset. I am a total noob at building.
Can you guys suggest me the lightest cheapest chinese parts for this groupset:
1. frameset
2. wheelset
3. handle bar and stem
4. saddle
5. Did I forget anything to complete this bike? I am 5'4" btw or 162.5cm tall with 74cm inseam.

Willing to learn if I missed anything please advice.... Getting a mechanic to assemble everything btw.

For wheels I'd recommend custom build buy the rims from light carbon or yinshun they are the same company. Also nextie has very nice rims but about 400 a set unless you buy from the in stock without decals.

For handlebars and stem edge design international, pro mance, and lightcarbon have great options for high quality intergrated bars and traditional bars and stem.

29er / Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

Carbonda just released a metric suspension xc 29er. My only complaint on the frame would be the cable but others may prefer it. I'm guessing the pro mance new frame will be similar. I started this thread to get thoughts on the new frame

Update on the build my FM015 came in the mail today. I have to say very fast shipping. I'm impressed with the frame it feels very hard to the touch. I purchased a felt carbon frame a few years ago and sold it because it felt like it would break. The carbon was soft to the touch also my friend ordered a Deng fu and his frame feels soft like the felt so I'm guessing it's the T800.

How do I get the China price? I only got a price from Taiwan, directly from Edge, and it is about 500USD more expensive than most FS frames from CN.

They sent me a order pdf form with taiwan and china option

I'm in touch with the edge design guys as well. If they really do produce the XL version, then this is it for me, finally. And the S version for my godson. And yes, it looks a 100% like the American Eagle Fully, and close enough to the Scott Ransom. Tires not exactly Scott, but okayish with 29”*2.3” (Scott: 2.6) or 27.5”* 2.75” tire (Scott: 2.8).


Are you going with taiwan or china price?  I'm a little disappointed by the order timeline of 90 to 120 days but am thinking about getting one for next season to allow for time for testing. Also it's best to order 2 frames at a time with edge. Steven at pro-mance was not clear on new bike coming out but looking at edge and pro-mance they have a lot of the same mold hopefully Pro-Mance offers the new full suspension in 165 x 40 option also.

Sissy pants said it's going to be like the scott ransom.
I'm pretty sure that the new metric sizing rear suspension frame will  be very close to this edge python one which is probably the same bike American egale uses.
    The metric frame holds a wider shock so it has more air volume and works better. Fox hasn't made any yet but they said they support it and you can bet they will be realising metric suspension soon .

The link to the edge design python suspension option A is metric sizing and option B is regular sizing like on the m7007ii
