Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I maybe this question has already been asked here, but still. What is the pressure in your shock absorbers? I have a weight of 80kg and I need to pump 280psi to sag 20% Yeah... this is personally one design fault with the FM936, I think the BB drop is 5 mm too much. I'm 75kg an I have to run the shock at 250psi ish too for 10% sag and to avoid too much pedal strike with 170mm cranks. The benefit is that the downhills feel amazing. It could also be the FOX DPS shock isn't designed for this bike and it needs to be stiffer at the top of the stroke.. I wonder how easy it would be to machine a new rocker link that would raise the bb. January 06, 2021, 05:44:42 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
What about running a 130 or 140 mm fork? Anyone tried that? That would raise the BB. It would also mean slacker angles. I simulated 140mm fork (with 51 mm offset because this is the fork I have and it would be more playful to ride). The BB is 5mm higher and the geo is very close to the Norco Optic (that is a the perfect all mountain bike IMHO). When I receive my bike, I will try

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
another question. Does anyone know what the torsional rigidity of the frame is in N / m? wondered how much harder or softer it is than a spark I will answer myself) Adam sent me a bench test report of the frame and if I understand everything correctly, it is stronger than a spark frame January 07, 2021, 03:03:13 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Looking for a shock. Any reason this wouldn't work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fox-Rear-Shock-Float-DPS-165-x-42-5-Performance-Elite-Trunnion-C57Q-Giant-Anthem/265071814546?hash=item3db782e792:g:JcsAAOSw8~Zfs-ZR March 03, 2021, 09:11:12 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hi Everyone, I've been reading the posts on the Carbonda frame for a long time now... I have now finally had the first few rides on my bike. It took just about 6 months to get the frame from ordering it back in September. The build is full Shimano XT, Rock Shox SID ultimate 100mm, Rock Shox SID Luxe 165X40, Rims and handlebar are Carbon from Carbonda, PRO Koryak 150mm dropper post, Ergon Saddle, Alu stem. The build came out to 11.4Kg. Please check out my Shimano SPD M737 pedals from the early 1990s. It was such a great day when I received these pedals all those years ago not having to run clips any more. I have been running them on and off on bikes since than and they are really holding up well. When I couldn't source the pedals I wanted for this bike I decided to mount them and they make my day! Compared to my prior hardtail bike it is a really long, big bike but it rides extremely well. It feels light and nimble, it turns in really quick in the tricky stuff and climbs better than most bikes I have ridden. I'm really happy with how the build turned out and how it rides! Keep up the good work sharing your thoughts and builds and thanks for all the inspiration! March 08, 2021, 01:37:57 PM |

My new LCFS958 - StefanB
For two years ago I built a LCFS958 to replace my Merida ONE-TWENTY 800 trailbike. I have been very happy with my LCFS958.  Last year I built myself a LCFS947 endurobike and this bike had other qualities. More stable descending and better on technical climbs. But it is heavier and fells slower. The LCFS frame is from 2019 and reach has increased on all bikes the last years. My LCFS958 was in size L with 140 mm fork and a reach of 470 mm. If i build a new one in size XL and 150 mm fork it will be slacker and with a reach of 500 mm. So I sold my old LCFS958, ordered a new frame, painted, and built my new bike. I have to adjust the brakes and gears, maybe shorten the chain But a first test-ride is close.

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame
I just built up my s3 over the winter. It's my first mtb so I don't have much to compare it to. I was just looking for a budget bike I could race in some local xc events. Tried keeping it somewhat light for a few races, but budget limited me on some things. Specs: Fork: Sid ultimate 120 Rear shock: Dps performance 165x45 Crank:. Stages LR XTR 36t Shift: XTR shift/xt rear derailleur Cassette: slx 10-45 Brakes: xt 8000 Bars: race face next 700mm Wheels: hunt race xc wide Tire:. Specialized ground control/FasTrack 29x2.35 Pedal: xtr Right now I'm at right around 25lbs. I'm thinking of swapping to some iKon/rekon 2.20, so hopefully that will lighten things up. Have a transfer sl dropper on the way, but honestly not sure I'll need it. March 18, 2023, 03:22:21 PM |
