Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
Should I order/buy anything whilst I wait for the frame so it can make life little easier for building? These are small parts, you should get them anytime with no struggle. Mounting Bolts should be a part of the Frame? But the Spacers for the shock mount might be needed (ask them directly, because there is no spec sheet of the frame right now). Dont know how Carbonda is selling the frame. My Ican p9 had the derailleur hanger, Bottombraket & Headset included. I mean if you get the parts like Shock, Fork, dropper post, wheels, shifter at great discount, then why not? Which colourway options do you had? Did you ordered a RAW or colored frame?. How much did you payed if iam allowed to ask? Any news for the size L or XL frame? I want to retire the Ican p9 after this season. It would be the perfect candidate for new build comming winter.

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
I may have used a confusing description. A four bar usually has a link in the seat stay, close to the rear axle. The FM1003 however has a one piece rear triangle with the "seat stay" link very close to the seat post. So it's like a four bar, but maybe it should rather be called a "linkage driven single pivot". Most famous example of this type is probably the EVIL bikes line up. Solid rear as well, but with a more intricate shock linkage. This is a single pivot design. No intermediate link between the rear triangle and the seat stay. February 12, 2022, 02:39:42 PM |

Re: FS830 Enduro Frame - Stef Biggel’s build
I've had several rides with the frame now and so far the rear triangle is fine and doesn't have any weird degrees of freedom. You might see me trying the ZTTO disc rotor - but those are crappy ones - I switched to Galfer in the front and Hope in the rear. Since the bearings may be overtightened, I start changing them. I measured them as 15mm x 24mm x 7mm. Double row, full fill bearings are available for this dimension (3802 2RS MAX). This can absorb 30% more load and also act from the side. But I will still install a spacer tube. I will post the correct dimensions in this thread. February 15, 2022, 09:55:04 AM |

Pulled the trigger on the Elite Wheel DRIVE wheelset
After much humming and hawing, I decided to pulled the trigger on their 2022 Elite DRIVE Wheelset. You can find it on their AliExpress storefront, but oddly it is not yet advertised on their official B2C website. Even on the AliExpress site, its a bit buried: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003763694064.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.0.0.267ed0edTPNtBU The glossy marble-like design won't be for everyone, but I dig it. I got 5 sets, which got me some discount but not a ton - since the shipment is small, I can't have them sent by freight. They are being sent by EMS, in which case I do have a fighting chance at of at least being spared taxes and duties And, on the plus side, I will receive them faster - probably just before the Spring riding season begins (here in Toronto, good riding doesn't really start until at least all the salt and gravel from winter is swept away...) Once I get my hands on them, I'll let you all know how they fare! February 16, 2022, 01:44:05 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
Anyone have the slightest clue if I am able to fit a Manitou Mara Pro rear shock to this frame? My guess is that you’d have no problem if you can get a Mara in 205x65 Trunnion. The space for the shock on the 1003 is pretty wide open and unencumbered. The main question, if you want a size other than Medium, is are you willing to wait until at least April, possibly May or later? February 19, 2022, 09:57:30 AM |

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame
Current state of my build. Everything’s basically together, but I’m temporarily using a solid post to help get my saddle height dialed before installing a dropper to minimize the risk of unseating the cable housing later adjusting it. Brakes still need some work and the chain isn’t on, but otherwise it’s pretty far through the build process now. Parts: DVO Onyx fork, 170mm travel DVO Topaz T3 shock, 205x60 with RWC roller bearing and BetterBolts oil slick titanium shock bolt Race Face Sixc 800x35mm bar, 35mm rise ODI Rogue grips Industry Nine A35 stem, 32mm length with BetterBolts oil slick titanium bolts SDG Bel Air 3.0 saddle 29 front wheel - Industry Nine Hydra hub with WTB KOM Tough i35 rim 27.5 rear wheel - Industry Nine Hydra/DT Swiss 521 (35mm internal) XTR rotors XT brakes, shifting, cassette and pedals Truvativ Descendant cranks Wheels Manufacturing BB30/DUB bottom bracket Wolfpack Enduro 2.6 tires VHS chainstay protector Misc oil slick bolts AllMountainStyle frame protection decal kit February 27, 2022, 09:29:17 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
Frame delivered It looks great! Thank you for taking the plunge and buying first. It looks like the linkage has a large metal piece where shock meets the rear, does it look like that piece could hit the frame hard? Also, remember to tighten all the linkage to spec, they are often not all the way tight from carbonda. I just had to replace a linkage screw on my FM936 since I never tightened it all the way. Those bushings should work I think. February 28, 2022, 04:14:41 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
I don't have a shock on it at the moment. Right now as is (the way it came shipped with the plastic thing) it does hit the frame. Once I have the shock installed I will definitely test it out properly. My FM936 came with the bearings greased but it couldn't hurt. Hope the bushings fit! March 01, 2022, 10:56:04 AM |
