  At winter found some cracks around link in front triangle.  Carbonda claimed this as a warranty an said they send me new triangle in march. In march they said it delays to april. Now finally new triangle is ready, and they put me new recuirement - to cut off old triangle. At this moment I,m resting with shoulder injury. And I dont understand how I can dissasemble full suspension bike with inner cables with only one working hand.  And I dont want to stay without rideable bike for recovery period, with easy rides.  ( maybe shipping stucks for months). Carbonda do not accept my arguments.  Earlier I was thinking about building trail bike on fm1002, may be now it's not a good idea...

First spy shot  ;)
   Looks much nicer in complete bike! 
Can you measure real bb height from floor to the center of bb?

It's fork maquette. Not for proper mtb riding.

I measured mine at about 118 mm of travel with a 42.5. Could have pushed a little more and probably gotten to 120 pretty easily.

NS list travel at 100 mm with a 37.5 and 120 with a 42.5. Based on my measurements, I see no reason to doubt them. I haven't tested a 37.5 or a 40, but I suspect the 37.5 would give you slightly more than 100 mm of travel.

Frame was mounted level, shock degassed, wheels off and a jack under the rear axle. Didn't push much beyond shock travel to get the 118 mm.
NS has different rear triangle and schock link = different suspension characteristics then fm936

Does it peels off after a while?
Do you have some pictures of it on the bike?
Do not peels if not use jet washers.
Under tape is additional layer of bar tape.

May I ask you to measure this distance when the shock is deflated?
About 106-108mm

I agree. Im running 270-300psi otherwise too low BB @75kg with gear.  So the solution is to put a volume spacer? did anyone do this? I'll buy a spacer if it works well.
Solution is to put volume spacer in positive chamber AND add custom spacer to negative chamber or fill it with some viscous grease, something like a PM600.

Using Fox DPS  with SV air can,  70+ kg  weight  and 150-160 psi with around 25% sag. Secret is the air chamber volumes on your shocks. Your both air chambers: positive and negative has too big air chambers for this frame, result: you need 300 psi for proper sag. At first I'll try to reduce volume of both chambers.

Hi all,

Has anyone noticed their chainstay pivot bolt (male side) coming loose? I've tried to use red low strength loctite on the thread but it still loosens. Will move to blue high/medium strength loctite but was wondering if anyone had better suggestions. The bolts are Alu so doesn't quite bite like steel. If it keeps happening with the blue I'll have to get some stainless bolts or find a better solution to it coming loose. Because it would ruin the frame if it bolt came fully loose.
Thanks! :)
It was loose on new frame, then fully rebuild all suspension with grease and blue locktite. Whole year everyting is ok. Check bearings first.

has anyone seen any damper for this frame with remote lockout?
165x37,/38/40/42,5?
DT 535 or Fox DPS + buy remote kit conversion.
