Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[inv]

Can someone please help how to mount the trunnion shock into frame?

Frame itself has ~ 58.4mm between bearings.
But trunnion inner bolt shims came with the frame is 2.4mm wide. 58.4 - 2x2.4 => 53.6mm, but trunnion shock is 54mm => it does not fit between the shims

The part of the frame is not flexible at all to compensate the 0.4mm

All seems to have gone a bit quiet on here - no new builds to report out there??

Well I tried several times but I can't post a picture of the bike, I don't know why a blank page opens when I want to post it.

on your comment, click the "Attachments and other options ", another menu comes up with "Attach" and a box under that that says "Choose File". Click choose file then select the pic from your hard drive but please, resize them first. The thumb nails here are to small to see any detail but 90% of the time you click the thumb nail the pics blow up to be about 4 times the size of the screen and really grainy quality. You can't view them on a normal computer screen.

If you have hosted the pics on flicker or the like then there is a thread that shows you how to attach them. http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,999.0.html

Nice build! What are you using as top tube protection against brake levers?

It's Skean Legend, a french product that is specially intended to this use.

Looks great Robin and good job getting the pics up, I for one appreciate the screen friendly sizing.

Are you happy with how it rides?

I've never ridden a bike so comfortable and efficient in downhills, it's really amazing.  It also climbs very well, the position is super natural when I thought I was a bit lost with the huge reach coupled with a 60mm stem.

For the photos I think I have found a good compromise between size and quality, I'll keep the same settings

What bars are you running?

It's a copy of Gemini Propus combo, with 60mm stem and 740mm handlebar.

Does anyone know if a DVO Topaz rear shock (165x42.5, TR) would fit in this frame? Thanks!

I'm thinking about replacing fox dps (ebay oem giant anthem 2018) with rockshox nude rlc3, what do you think? wouldn't it be a step back in performance and reliability?
