Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

wfl3 · March 03, 2020, 02:53:14 PM

Pretty sure the NS uses a 44mm offset on the RC & TR versions. I have a 44mm offset Fox 32SC 100mm coming for my FM936.

I have a 51mm offset 34SC 120mm on another bike I may try at some point as well.

44mm on both the RC (100mm fork) and TR (120 mm fork) version

I'm running 51mm on Fox 34 120mm fork, but I would suggest reduced offset as well. Front wheel feels a bit 'floppy' at low speeds. Not enough to make me buy a new fork right away, but I think I'll eventually buy a 34 SC with reduced offset.

Untill last week I used a 51mm fox and now a 44mm dvo sapphire. Only at low speed there is a difference noticable. At higher speed I don't.
So if you need a new fork buy one with less offset, if you allready got one, keep it.

Medico, can you describe the slow speed difference in feeling...? thx. i.e. l the 51mm feels better for tighter slow speed turning or the opposite...

Medico · March 11, 2020, 08:11:45 AM

The bigger offset feels more twitchy in slow turns. It is a feeling...don't really think its faster or better. I think un a blind test you won't be able to tell de difference.

120mm for Both forks.

With a 120mm 51mm offset fork you will get the same "feel" as the 100mm 44mm offset fork.
I will use a 120mm with 51mm offset SID

How's the tire clearance in the back? I'm fond of Bontrager's XR2 2.6, do you think it would fit?

Havent tried it...but don't think so...a 2.35 will be a tight fit

Still loving the bike but I think I got a real issue.
I'm having play at the driveside lowest pivot point. I can move the rear triangle at the left lower pivotpoint for some milimeters uo and down. It's also a bit noticable during biking, like a slipping reartire.

Already sent carbonda a mail about it... Think there is to much space between the axle and the hole where you put it in.

I sent Adam at Carbonda an email on Monday. I got an undeliverable error a few hours later. Not sure what's up with that.

@brex, I've got a message from Wing yesterday at [email protected]

Medico · March 19, 2020, 02:51:02 AM

Already got a reply from Adam...im sending him a video about it...
So guys check your lower linkage for play... It will whore out more easy because íts carbon with no bushing or so in it.

Does anyone knows if a piggyback shock (like the FOX DPX2) will fit in the frame?

Havn't tried it, but think it will fit... A bottle fits in the frame, so why would a piggyback wouldn't.

Another question... How tight is your lower linkage bolted together; howmany newtonmeters?

Just talked with Adam about my issue and ge said he wanted to send me new aluminium parts?! Don't think that will be the answer... He will check it with qc.
