Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Hey guys! Been on the fence about buying one of these for the last year or so, but I stumbled upon a good deal and decided to jump in. After 500 km on the bike, I have to say that I really like the frame. The suspension feels nice, and the position on the bike is comfortable. It climbs really nicely, the suspension is not that active, still need to test it on some better descends. But loving the bike so far. Wasn't sure about the sizing (180cm, somewhat short legs), but decided to go with the M size combined with a 70mm -20deg stem and 120mm of front travel - and so far it fits. Waiting on the race season to see if something needs tweaking. Here are a few photos of the build. The specs are: Carbonda FM936, M size FOX Float DPS Factory, 165x42.5 SR Suntour Axon Elite 34, 120mm M8000 groupset M8020 pedals DT Swiss M1900 Spline 30 wheels w/ Maxxis Ikon 29x2.35 TranzX 150mm dropper post Is somewhat heavy at 13ish kgs, but I wanted a "stronger" bike that can take abuse (and also I'm 90ish kg) so that fits the bill. Will get back to you with a more detailed review after a few more kilometers. Greetings from Croatia! January 24, 2023, 03:54:05 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Some vendors, like Allstars, are already selling the version with the modified frame and no brain hole, to be like the Evo. Any experience with allstars? February 24, 2023, 10:11:26 AM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
I was going to ask here if someone did try to install a non-boost Eagle crankset with a 34T Oval on the FM909. To have a better chainline on the big cogs, like I did on my FM936. But then I did some research. And found an article from WolfTooth: https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/boost-chainline-and-chainrings Telling that it is a quite bad idea on a 12sp 1x, as the chainring is 3mm more inward, and crosses more the chain on the 2-3 smaller cogs. And it may touch the cog just above. I instantly understood why my chains have this strange lateral wear. So I wrote this other message to make you benefit from my smart trial...

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Excellent Service! I've been riding my L standard frame for two and a half year pretty hard and some weeks ago it feel different. It felt like something was loose in the backend. After inspection I found a crack in the chain stay on the right side at the smallest part near the attached chrome part (Chain ring protection) Contacted Wing at Carbonda and got an reply in a day. Carbonda sent a new triangle for free after some discussions and that was not what I've expected from them! Makes me convinced that they are a serious company with great customer care in focus.

Re: Carbonda FM909
Ouch I hope they will be back to you in any case because 2000 km are not enough to justify those cracks The official warranty for the frame is 2 years and it ended 4 months ago. But Carbonda looked at the photos and decided to send me a new rear triangle for free and even paint it for free January 15, 2024, 10:04:43 AM |
