Awesome!! Thanks for that!! What material dod you prin ti with? I was thinking PETG or ABS, but if you've had good luck with a particular material, I'm all for it!

My "I can't ride because my foot is broken" build from 2022. Carbonda FM936, size Large. Full SRAM 12-speed GX mechanical groupset, Absolute Black Bash Taco with generic ISCG05 BB cup adaptor, RockShox Nude 165x40 with 3 position lockout 100mm travel, RockShox RS-1 fork 120mm travel, SRAM Rise60 carbon wheels with WTB Ranger tires, RockShox Reverb dropper 150mm, SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes with HS-2 rotors, Truvativ Black Box carbon bars, ZIPP 60mm 6º stem.





The fork has since been changed to a RockShox SID Select+ with a 3-position lockout to match the rear shock, GX mechanical has been swapped for GX AXS, and the SRAM Rise60 carbon hoops have been changed to a set of RaceFace AR27 wheels. It's my loaner/guest bike now, so the carbon wheels can go back on the shelf and the AXS lets me just "set & forget" it, so I don't have to deal with adjustments when someone borrows the bike.

Maybe I missed it, but what's the overall feeling on MIRA (http://mira-factory.com/) frames? Any issues with quality, after-sales, warranty, etc?

How does the bash guard protect the frame? Doesn’t the chainring do that already?

The guard protects the chainring as well as the frame, as it protrudes just farther than the diameter of the ring, allowing you to slide over/across any obstacle that would normally strike the rings. While it won’t protect from an object kicked up by the front wheel from striking the frame, it’s intended as protection from smashing the cranks/bottom bracket area in more technical terrain - rock gardens, ledges, etc.

Also, relying on your chainring to act as a bash guard means that one day you will have a very long and frustrating walk home.

Hi guys
Anyone with a good fitting chain guard to suggest? Still haven’t found one that fits well
Thx

If memory serves, I used an Absolute Black guard mounted to an ISCG05 adaptor that mounts behind the bb cup. I'm away from my bike for a bit, but I'll try to get some pics up over the weekend.

EDIT: I had this pic on my phone. It's not my 936, but I used pretty much the same setup on my Revel Ranger. It's an ISCG05 adapter plate mounted behind the BB cup, and a Funn brand guard (amazon) mounted to it. Hope this helps you a bit.

New 120mm linkage installed.
The old linkage is on the left side of the pictures.

Did you get the 120 linkage as a separate piece? I've been waiting for it to become available so I can bump up to 120.

I've been using some generic AliExpress chainstay & downtube protectors. Decently thick, but not heavy, and good adhesive backing. Best of all, ridiculously inexspensive!

The whole package looks great, but it's the 38mm fork offset that has me scratching my head. I've seen 42, 44, 46 & 51mm offsets, but don't remember anything running a 38mm since the early 26" MTB days. Seems odd to me.

Having said all that, it's a solid package at a good price. From Wendy/Light Carbbon's reply: "Frame LCFS918 size L UD matte finish cost US$590/set including Frame +seat clamp+ rear thru-axle+headset+an additional derailleur hanger"

And for those of us on the US west coast, it was $165 shipping, via EMS, to California.
