Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Here is Patxi Cia's bike, a Spanish xc racer which is built with the same approach (xc/xcm aggressive riding). He is shorter (1'75 mtrs) and rides a S size.

Are you all having a Torx 30 axle at the rear ?
This is hardly available on a multi-tool.
It kind of works with a Hex 6 but won't last...
Or maybe it is designed for something like this: https://soshanger.com/148x12x10-T30-Rear-axle-SCOTT ?

If someone changed their axle, could you share the reference ?
My frame came with a Hex 6 Axle. Definitely no Torx.
In case you need it, marking is: 180 mm M12 * P1.5 * L16.5

When removing the wheel, the derailleur hanger moves down although tightened.
And needs to be moved up to allow the axle to reach the nut through it.
Anyone noted this trouble ?
Nope, no movement on my derailleur hanger.

@RobertRinAustin
Thanks for the details

I too really like the SPUR, would be the bike Id get but I just dont want to spend 5K+ on another bike. I have tons of parts for the build from my many bikes over the year and can build the FM936 for <2K, the wife will be happy.

I have not ridden a SPUR actually but from what I read its the one to get (although that new Scott Spark looks ridiculous), have you ridden one? How does it compare? I am guessing its much more progressive and stiff feeling bike but not much else, geometry is not too far off and could be tweaked with an angle adjusting headset

I've not ridden the Spur but might demo one next week when I'm in Colorado. Not sure what I'd do if I feel in love with the Spur.

Hey guys and girls,
Will a 148-180-20-M12-P1.5 axle fit?
Cheers
Not sure if anyone ever answered this, but I just checked my stock axle, 180mm M12*P1.5*L16.5. Yours has a few mm longer thread, but shouldn't be an issue.

...Anyone had the same experience?

Yes, I did with the original hanger.
I noticed it was pivoting around the screw, moving the bolt a little down, and preventing the axle to be screwed in.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts I did participate to the Grand Rallye VTT Transverdon in France with my FM-936.
80 riders, 5 days, moving camping, 16 descents, 6000m climbing and 8000 descending.

Here's my FM-936 put on steroid for the occasion, 36mm rims, Magic Mary in front and Hans Dampf in the back( wanted Maxxis like everyone else, but didn't find in stock ).
203mm/180mm disc rotors.


The bike and myself survived!
It was clearly out of our league, but I improved day by day.
I lost one pivot screw, a zip kept the pivot in place. I should have lock threaded them all...
Broke my GPS mount at the first crash( crashed 3x ).
And bent the hanger twice and put it back straight.

So if someone doubt over the solidity of this frame, don't !

I'm afraid I will need a FM1166 for the future  ::)

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.
