Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Here is my bling build ! The weather isn't very nice here, so only two ~70km rides so far. But I loved every instant of them, a smile from one ear to the other, even once when I crashed it  Not sure if it is the geometry, the full suspension, the seatpost or the electronic shifting in particular, but this has little in common with my past hardtail riding. It is a size M SL. OG-Evkin bar Ligthbicyle XC925 wheelset with DT-Swiss EXP 240. XX1 AXS derailleur + Blipbox + Multiclics SID Ultimate 120mm and SIDLuxe shock 42.5mm Piccola brakes Reverb AXS 2.35 tires. And 10,1kg The commands are, left click easier gear, right click harder gear. Click on both for the seatpost. I was hoping for a more greenish blue, than this reddish one, but I start to get used to it  I'm still testing different 3D printed mounts for the blips for different positions. For now the cables are taped below the bar, my plan was to make them go through the bar end and exit through one of the mount holes. But there was some sun, and I preferred to go ride than work more on it. Maybe later. April 12, 2021, 05:55:25 AM |

Re: My OG-Evkin CF-052 (FM699) build w/ 60% AliExpress parts
Took some pictures today. The OG-Evkin handlebar is also ordered now, along with some new grips. Ordered the handlebar from China, it's back in the spanish warehouse, but shipping is 33€ now. And I bought a Deore M6100 iSpec shifter for 15€ shipped on Ebay.

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame
For the linkage nerds among you (who haven't done it themselves yet), I've done some analyzing of the S3 diagram using Linkage X3. Firstly, two purely subjective design aspects I don't like about the S3 when compared to the FM936: - They had to redesign the rocker arm, due to the horst link rear giving more travel. To counter that, they moved the top shock mount further away from the seatstay, lowering the leverage ratio. The new rocker arm looks a bit dull to me. - The angle of the seatstays does not allign with the angle of the top tube. That's something I love about the FM936 design. The S3 looks a bit more old school there in my opinion. Now, moving on to the objektive stuff: - The leverage ratio looks good, fairly progressive for an XC frame (around 11% from SAG). Also, the software confirms what has been said before: 40mm shock = 100mm of travel, 45mm shock = 112mm of travel. - Anti squat is relatively high, so a bigger chainring is recommended to not increase it any further. A 34t should be okay, while a 32t will already give way too high anti squat at SAG, which may result in a lot of pedal bob. Pedaling technique also plays a role of course. But generally, 100% anti squat at SAG is preferable. And here some screenshots. Enjoy  May 18, 2021, 02:17:05 AM |

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame
Little bit of an update to my cracked chain stay. I did receive my replacement from ican but I've continued to use the cracked one to see what happens. Cracking grew a little but has then held steady. I recently destroyed a chain ring so whilst I had the crank off I did some exploratory sanding. Interestingly it would appear there was a layup fault that had been "fixed" with fibre filler. I think the filler has cracked not the carbon. I'll purchase some ud tape and epoxy and see how I go for effecting a repair. August 17, 2021, 08:13:35 PM |

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
can you take a profile photo of the bike? Yesterday I took my first longer ride. The bike feels really good. Climbs so much better than my 2012 Specialized epic  October 19, 2021, 09:03:34 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hi All, just received my 1056 frame today. See attached pic. Havn't taken any weights etc. Not sure on the colour tbh. It's RAL3032 metallic with logos in RAL 7016 (which looks a bit too dark). I'm sure I'll grow to like it but right now I wish I went for a brighter colour. To compensate, at the same time my 707 frameset arrived (in the same box) in RAL 1003 (Signal Yellow), and that looks awesome! Won't be able to build them up for a while a have a few bikes already in the workshop. If anyone has any q's about the process or weights then let me know. June 25, 2022, 06:04:17 AM |
