Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Riding a 42.5 shock I can tell you the chance of having isseus is minimal. Rode a bikepark!! with this bike without problems. Even cleared a jump of several meters! Did also some enduro tracks in the Dolomites(Italien Alps) as xc biking there and it was great. Better than last years biking with a canyon nerve; better going up and way better going down.

Re: TanTan FM10 29/27.5+
Hi! I received the frame as well, and I finally had time to assemble the bike. I am quite happy with the result. The frame color I chose came out cool too, this was a bit a risk I took. I had some minor things I had to fix when I assembled it, such as shorten the spacer bushings for the rear shock on a small lathe, so that I could get my DVO shock fitting in. I also removed all the bolts from the frame and added a bit of the blue loctite to make sure they won't get loose. And I used a torque wrench, because some screws were obviously loose! So, here it is, check the pic of my build attached! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Here's my follow up for some impatient trollers.... Bought this frame November 4th and received in hand January 4th. 60 days China ----> Toronto.Not bad considering our world is currently upside down. Like swuw231, I also did not get a rear axle included so I ordered one from CRC and it was hear quicker then my LBS could order one. Build it up with parts I had and put it together for a demo ride knowing that it was not the configuration I was going to ride with, Front travel, RS Pike DA 160 with a 51 offset provided me with a 65 deg slack which is more then what I am use to. Ran a 200x57 rear shock, too much travel as the tire was just rubbing on the seat binder. Tested it on some local trails where their is some downhill sections (not really, small 30 second downhills) and mini climbs. Rode incredibly well. Frame is predictable and works very well. Handled jumps, climbed very well. I tore the bike back down and as suspected 3 bearing were already pooched. So I will be replacing all the bearings. Going to be painting this frame up and will put all new bearings everywhere and bike should be ready 2 ride for the spring. Pic attached. The store I bought this from has been good at communicating, will be purchasing a few more to sell as completed bikes as the entire bike industry is on pause for 2021. The store I got this from is originally linked on the first page so do some research like I did. February 02, 2021, 05:22:59 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Here is the link to the photos i made: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AodhshLG0I0gi60KzmND0TcEzErnEg?e=2g2awg the aluminium bar is 210mm and the next hole is 160mm - so you can check the clearance of the frame. February 07, 2021, 04:09:37 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
hello again, Finally i got my wheels. Bike built to 99% - ready to test ride. I finished in the evening so photos are made with bad lightning - will do some more in daylight. Bike feels great, i went for RS superdeluxe ultimate shock and Ohlins RXF 36 EVO at the end. here are the specs: crank - slx 32t 175mm rear mech - slx 12s (10-51) shifter - slx 12s bb - xt rotors - xt 203mm hubs - xt micro spline rims - WTB ST 30 Light 29" brakes - slx 2piston (gonna upgrade front brake to 4 piston probably9 handlebar - ritchey trail raiser (10° back sweep - I know, i bought it without thinking..) stem - 50mm (krsec - aliexpress) seat - proloq (aliexpress) seatpost - x-fusion manic 150mm 34,9 pedals - rockbros (aliexpress) tires - Maxxis DHF 2.5 and DHR II 2.4 fork - öhlins rxf 36 Evo 29" shock - RS superdeluxe ultimate 210*50 Bike is size L and feels great (I'm 1.88cm). Fork is buttery smooth (if anybody is interested) as i read a lot of reviews how bad it is - i haven't ridden a better fork, and i have ridden Marzocchi bomber (yes i am that old), Marzocchi 66, RS Boxxer WC, RS Pike RC, and this fork is the best one yet. I don't know if it's the 29" wheels or is the fork actually that good. Also the rear shock - the lock out function makes this bike almost like a hardtail (sag set to 30%), you can accelerate almost as on a hardtail... anyway, I only did short runs around the house, run some stairs - usual stuff. Bike now weights 14,00Kg with tubeless system and you will agree DH tires. So if anybody wants to get it in the 12-13Kg range it shouldn't be to hard. photos: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AodhshLG0I0gi65M28hhCsMf1ZS0eA?e=JUGqIY So far i'm happy with the build, still missing some bolts for brake adapters, stem spacers and cap, but the ride is great and that's what matters. Will follow up with info if anybody is interested. February 22, 2021, 12:44:09 PM |

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame
Frame is coming! Nothing too fancy, just gloss black. The X2 doesn't fit. the problem is not the Air can, the problem is the reservoir... April 01, 2022, 01:29:57 PM |
