Re: Ican S3 XC Frame It make sense, the right anti squat is a moving target.
I never considered moving the body to help, and will experiment with this.
Thank you for the hint.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

Has anyone actually measured the travel of this bike with 40mm and 42.5mm shocks?

With the X3 linkage software, I always got more travel than it's supposed to have. I thought it must be the flex stays that I can't properly account for.

But now I compared it to the NS Synonym and it seems like all the linkage points are exactly the same (see image below). Only the flexing seat stay is slightly higher up, but that can't make that much of a difference.

I think the only real difference between the NS rear triangle and the Carbonda version is that NS put the bridge between the seat stays closer to the tyre, so that it can move further towards the seat tube and take that 45mm shock.

So if my theory is correct, the FM936 should have more travel. Exactly like the NS Synonym, only that you can't run a 45mm shock.

Which would mean:

37.5mm = 100mm
40.0mm = 107mm
42.5mm = 113mm
45.0mm = 120mm (theoretical, not possible)
I measured mine with my 42.5 and got about 117 mm. I didn't push too hard into the stays, so there may be a bit more. I keep thinking I'll try it again and snap some pics.
