Currently riding a Spur...Looking for a dedicated XC race bike. FM909 or?

The FM936-SL I had cracked after 160km. Received a replacement frame but I was not convinced any more! Then I bought the Spur, which is way more Trail Bike as the 936!

ouch, how did that happen? i've just ordered it

Don´t really know. Was on my hometrail, which is not very hard and on a small ascent it cracked with a loud sound.

I´m thinking about the same change.
Currently riding a Spur and also had a FM936 before. The Spur is not what you want to ride for XC races! Mine is more heavy and a bit more on the trail side. I use it for my everyday rides where I do not need the Enduro.

Now I´m thinking of giving the 936 a second chance, switching to a 909 or even go for an Epic (evo) because the Spur is not what I expect from a XC bike.
Will probably not sell the Spur, just want a light, but modern 120mm XC bike additional.

Some great 120mm options out there. Keep an eye on my Miracle FS822 build ;p

Where to get carbon spokes for straighpull hubs?

I know only the ones that come with lightbicycle wheels.
But you may ask them if they sell them separately. There are rounded and aero versions.
You need a special wrench to tighten them like this dt-swiss one.
And get from them a tiny spoke holder, or build it yourself.
