Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

Then I go for a M.. Thanks!
I probably go for SID dampers but DT 232 looks great are there anybody who has mounted a DT R232 and can answer if it’s fits with remote. Looks like the cable is pointing down and I’m worried that there is to little room for the cable routing.

Here is a picture with a R535. I put a 14 mm nipple there for size comparison. I don't think that normal outer cables can be bent tight enough for that.
But there was a little 90° pipe with the shock. I could imagine  that, if you turn the shock around so the adjuster faces toward the seat tube, you could rout your cable below the shock's head and then make the turn up with that little pipe. Problem with that: how to reach the air valve in that position?

Ohh that’s tight...

But I love the color on your frame!

Are the R535 cable attached from the side or under?

[reddi]

It is attached at the side, but with the 90° pipe, you can have it as you want.

I would have preferred BSA72 more than the BB92, as I'm running the 30mm spindle from Race Face. But it is what it is and I'll use a screwed together wheel MFG /Toke Ninja like BB to avoid to much movement.
@zilcho
what kind of crank and BB are you running?

GX Eagle DUB crankset with SRAM PF92 DUB bb, just grease for installation

This shift housing probably can help. I ordered one and will see how it fit but I have much more room with Fox 165x38

Got mine built. Came in about 25.5 lbs, 11.6 kg.


Build basics- large SL frame, Fox Float DPS, 120 Sid Ultimate, BTLOS 27 w/ 240 EXP, Giant carbon bars, Uno stem, Race Face Turbine Dropper,  XTR shifter, derailer and cassette,  MT900 cranks, Chiner seat and pedals, Maxxis Ardent.

Initial Impressions
HTA measures about 66.5 degrees, about 75 for the STA
Bottom bracket is low, about 3/4" lower than my Evil Following MB, not hitting my pedals much, but definitely aware
Rides great, climbs like a mountain goat and feels about the same as the Following going down
Very flickable and playful
Really fun ride

Awesome build. Nice weight and those tan ardents look great  Looks similar to what I'm planning. Got some tan rekons. Just waiting on BTLOS i30 wheelset to arrive and for SID Ultimate to be back in stock; can't find one anywhere at the moment.

Realized I was off on my weight. It's about 24.6 lbs, 11.2 kg. Also, got a few PMs about the cranks.  They are the "non-group XTR cranks" that Shimano was selling back in 2019 when they were having trouble making the new XTR cranks. They are basically XT cranks with different paint and an XTR chain ring.

...Coming soon, 120mm version ?

Probably since they state in their website:

We're a strong team of passionate engineers, product managers, designers, marketeers and athletes.
We are growing, developing and learning all the time.
We are simply trying to make the best bikes we can so you can RIDE MORE.

That is good for all of us owner or soon owner for a better eventual resale of our bike.

NOOO WAY! Its been a ride boys and girls, best forum ever     I need a new bolt for the chainstay to frame pivot so hopefully this will make it easer to source one!

[adroitrider]

Does this mean shipments to North America will cease?
