Love my po, what's the rear travel on this? Wonder will a coil work

160mm, and no.

In my case, there wasn‘t a idea of Eddy selling fast a frame and beyond him the hell. I ask him directly the triangle will be fixed or not. He told me that the producing of improved triangle will take minimum jan 17th. They stopped my deliv. till this date. Now i’m changing the frame Model and this also wasn’t a problem. How it was worth i will see in a few days hopefully. In my case i can not see any bad methods.

Otherwise, if i understand right, cybrsrce rides the frame intensive with only a Teflonshrim fixing. If you want a „no worrys frame“ maybe it’s better to order a SC Hightower frame, isn‘t it?

Did you switch to an 830?

Hardcore hardtails with legit progressive geometry have been hard to find in the carbon category, from what I’ve read on those sections of the forum.

I was browsing AliExpress and noticed a store with several titanium models, some of which look quite progressive:

PYTITANS Official Store

I assume we’d be hard pressed to find someone here who’s actually owned one, but figured they might be of interest to people looking for these kinds of frames.

They clearly market some of their products as analogues to branded bikes: two different hardcore hardtails are marketed as “Kona ST” and another is marketed as having the same geometry as a Linskey. That definitely earns an eyebrow raise, but doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t legit.

Finally finished the build today.  11.27 kgs for an XL. I had the same issue with the axle.  Solved it with a thin washer under the head of the axle.  Looking forward to the shakedown ride.

Very interesting. That makes it sound like maybe the problem here isn’t the axle, but the fact that it wasn’t shipped with the intended washer/spacer.

Carbonda seems like the kind of company that might actually add the needed part for something like this in the future if you tell them exactly what you used.

I’m curious myself just in case something like this ends up being needed for my FM1002.

The thread must be 1.0
That's the issue ..I only found long axles with 1.5 , which is why I took the Carbonda axle.

I’ve never heard of trouble with the OEM axles for the 1001/1002, which makes me wonder if maybe not all their frames take the same length and they accidentally sent you the wrong one?

I’m finding plenty of axles with a 12x1.0 thread pitch but I think they’re too short; so far the one I was most interested in was the DT Swiss with removable QR handle, and they only seem to be available up to 168mm with 12x1.0 thread or 177-178 with 12x1.5. Weird that I can’t seem to find the right combination of length and thread, it doesn’t seem likely that this is a completely one-off axle type…

someone already had the same problem, so I did not buy an axle from carbonda. I order genuine DT Swiss with good size.

I wonder if the FM1002/1002 take the same axles as the 909; I’d assume all their 148 axles are the same.

If that’s correct, I should probably ask what model (thread length/pitch) of DT Swiss axle you bought. I’m looking for a bolt type but it would be good to know exactly what I need regardless of the brand and type.

There are some complaints from SC owners about the stock Low tunes that come with their bikes but I suspect it will be better than the standard aftermarket Mediums.

When DVO’s new Topaz T3 with the sideways piggyback becomes available (or the Suntour TriAir equivalent which also has a sideways piggyback), that may be the ideal for this frame. The stock DVO tune is pretty close to most other companies’ Low tunes but a little more supportive and with a very tunable air spring curve.

You don't need to use the compression plug. You just just use a standard star nut if you are using an aluminum steerer. The headset itself is nothing special. Just install the crown race, bearings, upper race, cap, spaces, stem and torque everything to spec. Don't worry about the upper race and the cut cutout. There is plenty of material there. I've had zero issues with this headset and the compression plug on my FM1001. Hope that gives you some peace of mind.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear, thank you!
