Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Looking for a shock. Any reason this wouldn't work?

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Ready to get this build started.
Made up of both new and used parts. Will probably upgrade the fork at some point.

Painted Regular Weight FM936 Frame (Stock headset and Axle)
Velocity Blunt SS Wheels
RockShox Reba 100mm
Fox Float DPS 165x42.5
M8000 11 speed Groupset
M7100 SLX Brakes
Ashima 180mm Rotors
Fovno Phantom Crankset and BB
Wren Carbon Bars 750mm
Uno 35mm Stem
KS 125mm Dropper
Aliexpress Carbon Seat
Vittoria Barzo and Mezcal, both 2.35
ESI Chunky Grips

A bit of a budget build but it should tackle everything here in Michigan just fine.
Wrapped most of the frame last night in 3M, have just two chainstays left (ran out of 3m)

Should have it wrapped up over the weekend. Super excited!

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Build is done. Ignore the derailleur cable. I have it trimmed now ;) The color is based of the gloss/metallic green of the revel ranger. I sent adam a picture of that bike and they ran with it. Looks amazing in person.
Bike is 25.5 lbs with my old pedals. A nicer cassette and pedals should get it down to about 25.
Will be taking it on it's first real ride tomorrow. Pumped!

I have no experience with these BXT gravel frames, but with the current Black Friday $40 USD coupon 40DEAL, this makes it one of the cheapest gravel setups on AliEx. I already own two gravel frames, but if anyone is looking this could be a good bike build.

I have road a BXT fat bike frame the last two winters with success. That said I purchased a this frame with the BF deal, Gloss white. Will end up being a spare/trainer bike with my Carbonda 969 being the primary. I also ordered an integrated handlebar/stem for it. Look forward to yet another build.

BXT-Gravel-135 I ordered this frame as a build for my wife. It will also be used as the main bike on the direct drive trainer in the basement. We ride the same size so this works out well.
Ordered during the 11-11 sale for about 310 USD and just received today. They actually shipped it FedEx, this might be because I complained how long it was taking to ship.
Ordered in the basic white. Assumed they would have had that in stock and ready to go. Took weeks to actually shipped but arrived in 5 days after shipping.
This is actually my 5th Chinese frame bike and the second BXT. The first BXT is a fat bike and has held up well riding it the last couple of winters. I also have a carbonda 696 gravel and 936 mtb. Also have a SPCycle hardtail that gets minimal use :)
Initial impressions are so-so. There are a few spots where the body line doesn't look perfect under the paint, the paint is ok, nothing to write home about, the fork front is really rather oddly shaped and a few bolts in the back are to long to properly insert.
Now I know this is a cheap frame so some of this is to be expected. The actual carbon work looks good so I have faith.

This bike will be getting built up with the 1x11 hydro sram setup from by 696 as that is getting an axs setup. I have most parts but am waiting on a few things so I expect to have it fully done in a month or so.

BXT-Gravel-135 (Ali)
Kocevlo Gravel Carbon Integrated Handlebars (Ali)
SRAM Rival 1x11 Shifters and brakes (Takeoffs)
SRAM 10-42T Cassette (Take off)
Prime Baroudeur Road Disc Wheelset (Wiggle.com)
Panaracer GravelKing SK 38c
Zeroing Road Crank w/ 40T (Ali)
TOSEEK Carbon Seatpost (Ali)
zRace Centerlock 160mm Rotors
Brown Carbon Seat (Ali)
Brown SuperCaz Bar Tape

Will be applying some decals and paint protection film before starting the build as well.
This will be the first fully integrated cabling build I have done so I look forward to the swearing and frustration!
