Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Here is my bike-build. Made my own logo and painted myself.  :D
Running NX drivetrain, Fox 34, Fox DPX2 and SLX brakes. Very happy with the bike so far.

Airwolf YFM053 build Hi y'all - Long timer reader, first time caller here.

Pulled the trigger on the Airworlf YFM053 and YFMF005 fork back in December and finally able to build it up.

Frameset arrived nicely packaged and the finish was decent for the price - save for a couple sloppy finishing job around a few of the water bottle bosses.

Actual build was straight forward, and I probably made it harder for myself by adding the foam sleeve onto the internal rear hydraulic hose. I did replaced all the bolts the came with the bike as they felt cheap and soft.

Frame came in at 959g, 20g for the hanger/retainer screw, and 552g for the uncut fork. It's about 9.3kg/20.7lb with tubes in both wheels for now. Plenty of space to shave a few pounds but I need to put in some miles first...

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Took the bike out for longer ride today, and I'm even more happier with my choice in this frame, absolutley flys down hill, yet is so smooth pedaling uphill, with very little bob.

With it being a glorious sunny day I got a few more pics



So difficult to capture the colour in a picture, but did catch the metalic sparkle showing through the candy on the top tube in this shot



This last pic gives a good shot of all the colour variation in the "red" in the sunlight

Yes I am. The bearings are fine. Also the fact that I can easily install and remove them by hand without force. The upper one is moving slightly sideways when in place. The lower one is also easy to put there but I don’t notice it moving when in place.

I am trying some thin tape in between now to not make it worse, it seems tight but haven’t ridden it yet.

I had the same issue with my frame. You need some spacers between the top headset race 'wedge' and the top cap. The top cap is bottoming out on the top of the head tube and therefore not tensioning the bearings.

To test the fix, I used a 10mm steerer spacer initially under the top cap,it created a big gap between the top of the head tube and the top cap, but there was no movement. Worth a go to confirm.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame My local trails are very steep and rocky, 120mm has been fine so far, the 29er and 120mm feels very similar to my other bike which is 160mm and 27.5.

Thanks for the feedback, I was worried that the extra travel could make the suspension a bit less poppy, I'll give 135mm a test.

Thanks

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Since receiving the wrong frame (FM1002 instead of the FM1001), Wing @ Carbonda made things right. I can now report that after some back & forth communication I’m the owner of both frames. I did pay my part though, but at a discount. So, thanks to Wing! Thoroughly enjoying the FM1001 here in the rough and burly Appalachian Mountains of SE Tennessee, north Ga and NC. Running the 150mm fork as well on the FM1001 XL frame as I’m 6’3”. Loving the fact that both frames easily swallow the One Up 210mm dropper! Currently building the FM1002 back up with a 160mm fork. Great setups!

Re: Carbonda FM 1003 / Flybike FM 1266 180mm "Super Enduro" Just got the initial paint proofs back from Katie at Carbonda. Zooky, I appreciate you taking the plunge first. At 100 kg, I should be able to give you some idea of durability though am really just getting started with local enduro runs and tend to shy away from huge drops and jumps. I went with pastel orange. Maybe a little lighter in color than I was envisioning but I think it'll look good with some dirt on it. Will keep you posted.

My Carbonda FM1002 Build Finally got all the parts for my bike and got it assembled today.
Spent around 5-6 hours from start to finish.
The frame is a Large and is fitted with these parts:
SRAM Eagle NX drivetrain
RockShox Domain 170mm fork
RockShox Deluxe Ultimate rear shock
DT Swiss wheels set 30mm internal width
Schwalbe 2.6 Nobby Nick tyres(Tubeless)
LevelNine seatpost and a used saddle(so i could measure how much space for a dropper post)
E*Thirteen handlebar 800mm wide
Magura MT Trail Sport brakes 203/180mm

Any good "names" for the bike i can get some stickers made, was thinking about Chinalized(Specialized) or Cheep Scrap(Scott Spark).
