Re: Help with Gravel frame There are a lot of people going with carbonda frames. They currently have 2 models, you can find a huge thread on carbonda frames on ridinggravel.com forum.

But there are so much different ways to do gravel it's hard to give advice.
For instance : do you want a sporty bike (long stem, low stack) or a relaxed bike? do you want to go 650b or stick to 700 with skinny tires? do you need to put luggage for long days on bike? ...

Learned that putting a 44mm fork on 51mm designed frames of certain bikes makes you feel going over the bar the whole time.
It's probably true with a 71/70° head angle and short wheelbase bikes not with fm936 geometry.

As said by Zdrenka89 it depends of your preference.
Basically short offset gives more stable direction at high speed while long offset gives more manoeuvrable bikes at slow speed for tight corners.

With the fm936 i'll go with short offset to suit the DNA of the bike, if you mainly ride around trees at 5 or 10 mph it's not the ideal geometry anyway ;)

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Tip for the 936 users :

Check the derailleur hanger bolt sometimes.

I solved noise issues by retightening the bolt, the noise appeared when pedaling probably because the hanger could slip a bit.

So I'm courious what Bike24.de will send me the next days ??? At least i was able to order a 165x42.5 remote one.
There's still one in stock, shipping to australia is 20 € ;)

Meanwhile, i think about color. Painted or black link? Black or blue fork?
Well, best option will be to have a painted link and if it looks wrong, i can still order an unpainted one. Blue vs. black fork can be determinded when the Frame is here... just order both and return one.
For the red tone, i sent Adam this picture as reference. We'll see how it turns out.
I vote for :
-black fork with black link or
-black fork with red stickers with red link

Trek factory racing runs with red frames and blue fork, i don't find this combo very elegant https://scontent-cdt1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/122226975_2132655636879040_8585127515686445313_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=2zWc_70EB3AAX_pYPX5&_nc_ht=scontent-cdt1-1.xx&oh=624bf76554e1ff63014353abc02111fe&oe=5FDD1081

I highly prefer the full red combo made by dangerholm https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-dangerholms-insanely-light-scott-spark.html

I have the ZTTO double bottle holder and love it. I'm on an XL frame and don't have any interference, but I could see there being potential issues with a smaller frame. I also had problems with dirt getting in my bottles, but I 3D printed caps and that solved the problem
If you like drilling, dremelling and so, you can create your own "lyne" double bottle mount. On a medium frame i can carry two 750ml bottle.
It's a matter of millimeters but it works.

Two https://www.bike-onlineshop.de/Accessories/Bottles-Hydration/GIANT-Bottle-Cage-GATEWAY-4MM-SILVER.htm?shop=bike_en&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=GIA490000031&p=61 were killed during process.

This is something i made, the elite cage is a not thigh enough so the bottle is moving a bit up and down but i never lost it.
If my prototype can give ideas...

Re: Lexon or Carbonda (or....)
Quote from: Patch64 on October 15, 2021, 06:52:41 AM
but maybe there's better? so which one you will recommand?
lexon is what we can say a classic XC geometry, while carbonda 936 is definitely "down country" with longer reach and slack head angle.
The two bikes have their pros and cons and will have a different feeling on board.

So it's hard to say which bike is best, it depends on the rider, the terrain...

Re: Lexon GFX Carbon Gravel Bike Frame Build Nothing in this fork inspires confidence.
The hole drilled, the overall appearance really looks amateur job... :-\

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Any news of my 936.
In use and abuse since august 2019, the main pivot become a bit loose probably due to tired bearings.
During maintenance there was also a very little play between rocker arm and frame.

After change in static it seems to be back to normal, not tested yet.

I think more than 2 years with the factory bearings is not that bad, none of them was seized by the way but you must consider i avoid riding too much in bad conditions.

Delihea Hello, who knows this seller delihea?

I found frames, especially the gravel, that i never seen before.
They are sold with painting at a competitive price.

Delihea sells a few components too on aliexpress.

Did someone already had business with them and can share experience and/or review of their products?

I have been researching purchasing this frame.  I currently have an older 2015ish hardtail.  Not sure on the exact model (cant log into my old account on here?? forgot the information)

Anyway my question is regarding my fork.  I have a 2015 Reba upgraded with a charger damper, the offset is 46mm.  I have 80mm, 100mm, and 120mm airshafts. 

Would the 46mm offset work well with this geometry?

thanks for the help.
New sid has 44mm offset so you will be very near to the "actual standard".
My first build with this frame was with a reba 120mm probably same model as yours. It works until i swapped to new sid and saw that improved rigidity and debonair are a real improvement especially with a downcountry bike like 936.
