Hi all so I’ve got my 936 in size M super light 120mm version. Happy with it, final weight should be around 10.2kg with bottle cage, protections and dropper post and pedals of course. SID ultimate for fork/shock, full sram x01 gear set, velosa wheel set

Pro:
Very good communication with carbonda / wing.
Frame quality and finiture are good even though I had to grind shock bushing a bit before insertion.
Painting looks strong (but has a small scratch on the rear brake mount).
Assembly was easy, BSA bb with crankset and derailleurs perfectly positioned and working fine.
Cable routing was also easy but I had to use a magnetic cable routing tool for the brake hose.
It’s not a clone!

Cons:
Delivery time took 2 full months.
Weight, frame at 2030 gr is not anymore super light as they claim it’s rather on the heavy side I think, if we compare with recent 120 mm competitors like spcycle, hongfu or tantan/seraph but I hope it will be strong and durable at least, Btw when this frame has been introduced weight declared was 1850grams (you can check on the internet archives) I don’t know what’s happened next.

You can reach it while riding, not practical but possible 8)

Yeah I can live with this, I also like the shock to be supportive “a la hard tail”  ;D let's see, painting is expected for next week

Don´t really know. Was on my hometrail, which is not very hard and on a small ascent it cracked with a loud sound.

wtf! which part exactly has been cracked? sorry for bothering, but need to carefully check when it comes

The FM936-SL I had cracked after 160km. Received a replacement frame but I was not convinced any more! Then I bought the Spur, which is way more Trail Bike as the 936!


ouch, how did that happen? i've just ordered it  ??? ???

Hi all
I was going to buy this ammo, sidluxe trunnion 165



But I see the lockout lever is long, will I be able to move it from open to closed position and vice versa?

Thanks

They have several colors of the needle setup and DU setup, but not black in needle.

nice ones too, but at the end i've ordered it from offsetbushings, a standard 8x30. thanks

Thx

I am deciding between these two frames for an Epic Evo-like bike build:

The Airwolf frame looks to be a solid choice as well, especially since I can re-use my 1.25/1.5" headtube fork whereas the Seraph frame uses a straight 1.5" headtube, entailing a new fork expense.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions.


You just need a proper headset to use a tapered fork on the seraph, no need to buy a new one.

Hi all
Placed an order for a 120mm 936, wondering if there are some guidances about decal dimensions for the down tube, in terms of length and height should be around 35*4 isn’t ?
Any advice appreciated

I was planning on doing that, but now that I am still waiting for a guarantee frame for SP05 from mid-june, my wish has probably gone.

What did happen to your SP05 and how they behave when you asked for support?
