Short list of rim/wheel manufacturers you can't go wrong with (not exhaustive, just ones the come to mind):
- Lightbicycle
- Farsports
- Elite Wheels
- Winspace (who also make frames)
If it is 007Bike Store, you can trust them.I'll 3rd. great place to shop.
They just ship without the boxes.
New owner here, love the frame, I'll post some thoughts after a couple more rides, just got a few initial questions I couldn't find answers to on here:Weird. I use XT 12s and it works fine. Is it possible your hub is offset or you have cassette spacers/washers on the freehub in that you should not have?
1) what are people doing to plug up the cable holes on top of the chain stays? Or is it easy to just wash out when mud gets down in there?
2) supplied hanger doesn't seem to work with my slx 12 speed, only way I can access the smallest cog is to add a fat washer to locate the derailleur further outboard. Yes I checked hanger is straight, and limit screw all the way out. Anyone else find this?
Not sure if I can include this here or not! I was looking to buy an FM936 but then this barely used Vitus came up on eBay at a great price. I added some of my carbon parts (ElitaOne post, Romin Pro, Deda bar, Uno stem) plus set up my Conti tyres (2.4 X Cross RaceSport & 2.2 Race King Protection) tubeless. Have since removed the lock outs as I never used them. My old XTR pedals blew up on a test ride so awaiting a Zeray set and also a Fovno Ghost. Even as it stands the bike is 11.1kg for a size small which I think is pretty great for a £1,500 buy!
It rides amazingly. Replacing a hardtail Boardman Pro 29er it is much more confident but still playful efficient feeling. I thought it might be like a tank with a longer wheelbase (even moving from a medium Boardman to a small FM936 it is longer), but this is not the case.
I even think the paint looks pretty good!
Has anyone seen any frames close to the Cannondale F-Si? https://www.cannondale.com/en-eu/bikes/mountain/cross-country/f-si#sort=%40msrp%20descendingTo answer my own question, Caloi seems to sell something similar, but I don't know if this frame is open mould like some of their other stuff.
I have a desire to build something like this: https://theradavist.com/2019/07/a-cub-house-built-cannondale-f-si-hi-mod-throwback-xc-bike/
This is standard warranty procedure. Never seen any manufacturer handle it differently. They actually seem pretty flexible and you're not being reasonable.Sounds like the way to? It's a really standard procedure, even bike shops have to do it with the brands like this
I get your injured and can't disassemble your bike, so pay the deposit. Or use your good arm and a hack saw and cut the top tube or ask a friend for help.
I am also considering this fm936 and FM 909.]
FM 936 frame are very reliable and this frame used by NS bikes , victus etc..
But FM 909 is 100 gram lighter.
I dont know which one to choose.
