fox shock from giant anthem was bought on ebay? how does it fit this frame?

Yes it is, it is working perfectly. Looking back at the thread it looks like one person was not so lucky. I deflated it all the way and bounced on it while someone watched the gap behind the seat. It was close but it wouldnt budge no matter how hard I bounced on the empty shock. As long as you order the SL version, I bet it will be fine. If you look back in the thread you will notice most of the quality control issues were not with the SL version.

I think the digressive tune is perfect. That said, this bike made me realize how much softer a linear tune feels compared to a digressive tune. With only
a 100+mm of travel in the back, a linear tune doesnt really make sense.

For the knockoff comment. This frames front traingle is the real deal. Unbranded, sure. Knockoff, no

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts I have to say I do like the lines of this frame. The ride is fantastic, too.

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets. I'm sure that sanding wheel would be perfect for taking a fraction of a millimetre off the plastic caps. I'll give that a go next time I have to remove the crankset... Not looking forward to punching it back out though...

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Can someone post a link or list of replacement bearing for the rear linkage?  I saw a needle bearing option for the upper shock mount but not specifics for the rest of the linkage.  After 1,000 miles of mostly dusty trails I'm having some squeaking in the linkage and planning to do a rebuild/regrease.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Tip for the 936 users :

Check the derailleur hanger bolt sometimes.

I solved noise issues by retightening the bolt, the noise appeared when pedaling probably because the hanger could slip a bit.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Hi Folks,
inspired by colt_seaver's building thread in a german forum, i spent the last days reading all 72 pages of this thread :o (who needs netflix? ;) )
I like the FM936 more and more... already have a spreadsheet set up to calculate price and weight of a bike based on this frame.

I stumbled across a few comments about poor climbing performance.
I am a fast tourer and marathon rider and my current "do it all" bike is a not-so-light carbon hardtail (IP-256SL if sb knows). I really like steep uphill challenges and eating altitude meters.
Problem is, i am a total coward going downhill: The smallest feel of sliding or the rear wheel getting light leads to a complete mental blockade. To overcome that, i think about using a more down-country or even trailbike-oriented bike. As i have a very long torso for my size, most common bikes on the market would be too short for me, so the FM936 should be just right for me.
Thing is, i don't really want to sacrifice uphill performance. So hands down, how much worse is the FM936's uphill performance compared to a hardtail?
Do you think the FM936 will meet my needs, i.e. giving me a fast touring resp. marathon bike with much more downhill confidence?

Is it worth the effort (money/weight) to have a rear shock remote lockout? I like standing up in the pedals for spontaneous give-it-all sprints. The only full suspension i rode the last years was a Giant Reign 2, wich was an absolute pain in the ass in this discipline (yes, different bike category).

Also, does sb have an idea how much weight is saved by opting for SL in size XL? Can i expect 200 g?
colt_seavers had 2182 g including rear axle for a standard XL.
I try to figure out where to save the most weight for the least money. Sub 11 kg with dropper post would be nice, but budget is limited.

Hi Risckys,
Could you post a pic of your bike, please?

Sorry for the delay!
