Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Was shipped on the 3rd and arrived at the 5th - impressive Job - THANKS Adam  Almost done by now - just some fidling with the cables and installing the shock bushings once they arrive ...  Never was thought to be a light weight so YES I am sure happy with the outcome - the rest will be done in the "shut up and ride" mode  March 07, 2021, 03:49:28 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
I did participate to the Grand Rallye VTT Transverdon in France with my FM-936. 80 riders, 5 days, moving camping, 16 descents, 6000m climbing and 8000 descending. Here's my FM-936 put on steroid for the occasion, 36mm rims, Magic Mary in front and Hans Dampf in the back( wanted Maxxis like everyone else, but didn't find in stock ). 203mm/180mm disc rotors.  The bike and myself survived! It was clearly out of our league, but I improved day by day. I lost one pivot screw, a zip kept the pivot in place. I should have lock threaded them all... Broke my GPS mount at the first crash( crashed 3x ). And bent the hanger twice and put it back straight. So if someone doubt over the solidity of this frame, don't ! I'm afraid I will need a FM1166 for the future

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
...but I am not happy with the single drink bottle installation...Did you see the picture a few post above? It is another option. The ZTTO double bottle mount. Light and inexpensive. It keeps well the bottles, even on rough tracks. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32975689555.html August 05, 2021, 03:57:13 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Nice bike! I've been lurking for a while now absorbing all of this great information. Can I ask how tall you are? I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a medium or small.I am 5’9”. It seemed odd going for a size small but after spending some time on GeometryGeeks it was clear that the reach seated was still going to be a nose longer on a small than my old medium Boardman. I have done a few more miles on the bike. I don’t regret taking off the Oneloc at all. I do wish it was the XT version, but this was all that was available and no doubt I’ll upgrade in due course. The frame is free from rattles, well finished and has taken some time to having the front wheel waaaay out forward, even on the size small. I like it a lot and wouldn’t want to go back to a hardtail.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hello, I've been following along on this forum for quite a while to pick up all kinds of tips and experiences (thanks to all of you)... then decided to make my first bike build ever. After a long time of collecting parts, I finished my build last week and in the meantime made a first ride (in the flatlands of flanders  )...It's no comparison to my 11 year old 26" Rockrider hardtail  . It is a size M frame (N not SL), Elite wheels, Sram GX groupset and Marzocchi fork (was the only fork available and within my budget). Maybe not easy to see in the picture but the colors are candy red and silver metallic. August 25, 2021, 02:08:57 PM |
