Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro"
I asked Wing from Carbonda if they have something more downhill orientated. And look what I got. (see attachment) April 17, 2024, 04:26:17 AM |

Re: Any good bar tape out there?
Cinelli Cork Ribbon is the gold standard IMO if you want a firm, “dry” (instead of rubbery/tacky) but grippy feel. the closest to Cinelli Cork I can think of is Deda Traforato at 2.7mm (40g only!) i use this and i love it! also, it might not be like Cinelli Cork but check Lizard Skins dsp v2 with sizes 1.8mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4.6mm April 17, 2024, 08:32:59 AM |

Re: How addictive is bike building?!
Very addictive. I've built my own bikes for at least the past 40 years. Shifted to primarily building bicycles using parts purchased from Aliexpress over the past 8+ years.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
+1 on the suggestion to have it painted by Carbonda. I have had good experience with it. The color scheme I had them do wasn't super simple, and cost $245 ($155 painting, $90 for decals). If you want to see the design, it's further up the thread

Re: japjoe7 Carbonda FM1001 build thread
Got some good updates for today, It’s been awhile. Sent my Fox Float X2 out to be serviced a couple days ago. Didn’t even use it on the bike and something didn’t seem quite right with it. I bought it second hand but it looked like new. Got a message from Fox service that they are replacing it with a new ‘24 version at no cost…sweet! Finally got my wheels finished. Payed a local shop to finish them up. It was too frustrating as a first time wheel builder to get it trued. Super nice guy and I paid him $75 to do both wheels.he said that didn’t do too bad of a job getting them started. Biggest update…bought another frame, BXT-MTB-117 in gloss white, no logo. I’ll start another build thread with that when I get the frame. Bought some more goodies for the bikes. Stepping away a little from the Chiner components and got Raceface Turbine-R Stem, Shimano XTR clipless pedals, Peaty’s/Chris King Valves, Cane Creek 40 headset, OneUp carbon handle bars, OneUp v3 Dropper, Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate. I’ll post more pics as the components get delivered. April 17, 2024, 04:05:48 PM |
