Do other notice the following on the Carbonda?

Yes, the balanced riding position slows everything down so you have more time to think, but this just lets you focus more on how ineffective the rear suspension is. Not only does it lack the sensitivity needed to track terrain, the rebound damping is super-slow even when set to the fully open position.
No. Using Fox DPS SV 42.5 shock with 150-160 psi, rebound 5-6 clicks from open, nice sensitive suspension. Remember it's only about 100mm suspension, not 160mm  :)

...But I want a shock with remote!  ;)

Are you European ?
One of the first review of the couple Ultimate fork/shock I saw on youtube was with one(the) product manager.
And they had good fun, mocking Europeans that absolutely wanted a lock.
I'm one too, but will try without. Since it appears to be cultural  8)

my thoughts, overpriced chiner carbon, not going to happen.  Pricing is to USA zip code 48095.  The frame, paint, and shipping is all higher than my other builds.

820USD for super light version frame
135USD for custom paint
2x5USD for spare rear hangers
230USD for shipping cost

Why is it overpriced? Go buy a stevens or the NS and pay more then! Pretty much most people here would disagree with you. The Normal version is better value - plus you can paint it yourself if you want to with spray.bike or similar.  Shipping cost is hardy their fault either.  That my opinion at least :)

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Yesterday, I noticed the drive side BB bearings seized  :-\
While removing the BB, some accumulated water went out.
I drilled a 2mm hole at the lowest point of the frame, to let the water flow out, hopefully to make the bearings last longer.

That said, this definitely doesn’t much resemble the final Carbonda 1003 which is presumably still the Flybike FM1266.
In the catalog, there is no frame picture and the design is same once shown on flybikes website.

The same thing happened with 1003 from Carbonda. Went from VPP to single pivot.
I think we aren't getting VPP yet. My guess is that it is too hard right now, so they went with single pivot this time around. As with the S2 & S5 frames, this is currently being sold from Carbonda in a size medium. They are working out issues with the small and large sizes.

Hope I am wrong and this is a new frame!
