I'm really tempted by these rims for my new FM909 build, but they're so narrow. What size tires do you have on them?

That's very strong!

May I ask what you had to pay ?
Those carbon spokes are really not cheap

$1,550 shipped to Europe
Which is about $300 more than with Sapim CX-Ray

I'll build one 909 for me in the coming weeks.
And ordered wheels even lighter.
I'll report about them when received.

What brand are those spokes?  did you custom order them cause i have never seen carbon spokes listed on their website?  that is a crazy light wheel set and they look awesome.

I'm looking for a new frame, and the FM909 caught my interest.
Can anybody give me the max insertion for a seatpost on a medium sized frame?

Thanks

Don't have drawing of size M, but it will be 255 (285-30)

Has anyone mounted a Sigeyi potentiometer?

Has anyone mounted a Sigeyi potentiometer?

I have one on my FM936, and will be using one when I build my FM909. It has worked flawlessly.

I'm currently in the process of building mine up. So far so good but I have a small issue with cable routing. Not getting the cables in but using the frame plastic covers/grommets at the frame exits.

Is there any way of putting the plastic cover for single housing cables at the headset exit on the right / drive side? It came shipped with the dual housing one on the right hand side and a bigger single housing one on the left. I'd like to swap them for neater cockpit cable routing but I cant get the single one to fit on the right side, as if it was too big. The dual housing cover clips in properly on both sides.

For the left side with two cables, I ordered this plug.

I cut it on one side and inserted it when the cables had already been laid. Holds up and looks good.

Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered the ones you mentioned and some others that look like they would fit. In the meantime I might file one of the spare plugs (no remote lockout needed) to fit in the exit.

On a related note, did anyone use internal cable housing dampers? I have none installed yet and nothing seems to rattle when I drop the bike but now would be the time I guess

Yes, people have used damper tubes to encase the cables. If you do a search in this thread there are a few of them.

Maybe too late now, but I would recommend using them. I did not use any on my FM936 and there is definitely some rattling. I did use them on my FM1001 and it is silent.
