Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[Barkything]

I found 165x38 trunnion. 54/22.2mm mount

where?

[RedCruz]

I contacted Adam January 4th to order an FM936 Small, the order was shipped January 7th and I received it January 11th! That is very quick! (when they have the item in stock).

I'm gonna fit the frame with a Fox trunnion 165 x 42.5mm the longest travel it can accept. Fork will be Fox 34 SC 120mm 44mm.

Last summer I crossed a guy who worked in a shop where they sell NS bikes, and they are not too happy that people can get the equivalent of the NS synonym frame for such a cheap price...

Was it with DHL ? Where are you located?

That's so fast. Was it painted?  You'll like the fox. v smooth. 
Haha, yes I imagine NS must have come across this forum at somepoint... but that's the way the cookie crumbles when you don't have an exclusive mold :l

Damn, that was quick!

I've still not heard anything back from Adam since my last mail to him 4th january..

Today I got a new front triangle. Аfter the first ride on the new frame, I found 6 cracks under the hinge. 5 cracks on the left and 1 large on the right.
Manager Adam accepted my response. The new front triangle was made in 2 weeks and delivery took another 5 weeks. The color of the paint does not exactly match what I ordered for the first time.
All this time I rode with cracks, they did not increase.

[theirishrider]

Wow, did they replace it for free? Did you sand back the paint to see if it was just painted crack or in the carbon too?

Quoting myself..
Adam finally got back, frame ordered

Does anybody know minimum fork steerer tube length for a large frame with 120mm headtube? ~170mm?

yes, replaced by free and free shipping. I did not remove the paint to investigate the crack.

That will depend on the stem and headset and then any personal preferences on the stem/bar height.

170mm would probably be cutting it very close IMO.

can you clean up and take a photo? maybe it's just a crack in the paint and adam is reinsuring himself by sending a new triangle

[Jotegr]

Well, if the paint only is cracking within like a month anyway any main company would warranty that too. Props to Carbonda for not wanting to investigate further and treating themselves properly.

Anybody running 27.5x3.0 tires? Who's got this bike setup for winter?

[Denis]

Is there any problems with bsa73 version of this frame ? Creacking sounds or something?
