Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame This is because of the steep STA. If you sit on the Bike the Bike feels very compact, but in the downhill position you have enough space/distance...

Look at this very aggressive Privateer 161 with 80° STA. The Bike is a massive bike but has a short TT because of the step STA.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Here is my bling build !

The weather isn't very nice here, so only two ~70km rides so far.
But I loved every instant of them, a smile from one ear to the other, even once when I crashed it :o

Not sure if it is the geometry, the full suspension, the seatpost or the electronic shifting in particular, but this has little in common with my past hardtail riding.

It is a size M SL.
OG-Evkin bar
Ligthbicyle XC925 wheelset with DT-Swiss EXP 240.
XX1 AXS derailleur + Blipbox + Multiclics
SID Ultimate 120mm and SIDLuxe shock 42.5mm
Piccola brakes
Reverb AXS
2.35 tires.
And 10,1kg

The commands are, left click easier gear, right click harder gear.
Click on both for the seatpost.

I was hoping for a more greenish blue, than this reddish one, but I start to get used to it  ::)

I'm still testing different 3D printed mounts for the blips for different positions.
For now the cables are taped below the bar, my plan was to make them go through the bar end and exit through one of the mount holes.
But there was some sun, and I preferred to go ride than work more on it. Maybe later.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I ordered three frames, one S (for wife, 5’4”), one M (for 14 year old son, 5’5” and growing), one L for me (I’m 6’0”).  One of the bikes (the S) is built and ridden on. Son has been riding it for MTB practice and races.  He loves it. The M and L will be done being built by end of this week. Here’s a photo of the S.  I will respond with my thoughts once I can throw a leg over the L.  Frames look sick!!  I can also post build components if anyone is interested. Just holler.

Maybe a dumb question, but how do I run the cables using the white tubes that come in the frame?  Am I supposed to tape the cable to the tube and pull or push the inner cable into the tube and then replace the tube with outer cable?
If you can pass the hose in that tube, then once out, pull the tube out.
If not, taping them is an option. Don't pull too much as you may detach it.
Just push the hose, and lightly pull the tube as a guide and not as a force.

I lost a linkage bolt during a ride. Totally my fault, I forget to put the proper torque back in after maintenance. No damage, to the frame. Any idea where I could find some replacement hardware?

A Titanium M5 screw and a washer since July... It will be replaced when I get the hardware from Carbonda.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Whew!!! All 131 pages thoroughly read! The 936 has been high on my list of potential frames, but the hardware quality has been a bit of a booger, IMO. I did some digging into the other brands using the frame and came across this on the Vitus page: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0365/1272/7173/files/RapideFS_Metric_Spare_Parts_Kit_External.pdf?v=1630512037 It's a superb breakdown of all the pivots, hardware, bearings, everything in the 936 frames! Hopefully, it will be of use to those of us in need of replacement hardware.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Just received my Carbonda fm1001 from Katie, looks great. I just took a quick pic right out of the box.

I had it painted by them, the color is purple/green chameleon. Total cost shipped to Colorado was $1154.

Just starting to build it up, but wondering about frame protection.

@Neb, where did you get your chainstay protector and downtube/bottom bracket protection? I'm really liking the way yours looks and fits.

Thanks!

My chainstay and downtube protector are the original ones from the Nukeproof Mega, they are £10 each from chainreaction cycles. They stick well and only need minor trimming.
