Why did you choose this model?

Really symbolic of the corners cut when making these things. Explains why the bearings are significantly more worse off on one side of the bike vs the other, and why the finish on the bolts that attaches the upper eyelet in the rear triangle to the shock extenson is very worn on one side while its pristine on the other side.

All my name brand frames except Pivot do the same thing.

In an effort to check the bearings and service them (if needed) I came across this somewhat comical, somewhat sad visual when I removed the shock extension. Look at how poorly aligned the front and rear triangle are when the shock link and extension aren't forcing things into alignment. The gap should be the same between the shock link and rear triangle eyelets but theres virtually no gap on the drive side and a b

Maybe. I have big-name USA frames that do the same thing! The bearings are ok though, surprisingly.

Very nice, uberamd. Thank you for writing all that. Can you share how you chose the type of epoxy?

pf92 ruins this frame.

There should be a hole here for cable routing, blue circle.

RiRo = RuhRo!

Update on the crack... Carbonda did not recognize this as their fault, told me it is most likely impact damage. I am a bit dissapointed by their response, and primarily because this bike didn't see any "impacts"...period. That part is the part where the "flex-stay" is flexing. So it, to me, all points out to the quality issue. I noticed that the carbon is really really thin there. After I chipped the paint, carbon just fell apart. I am really not sure what to do here. I like the bike, but this experience does not bring me confidence in carbonda's warranty and replacement, nor the quality control. I would accept a discount at least, just as their sign of good faith and customer care. But they were resolute that this was a "crash" damage. LOL... I'm a bit mad tbh.

Yep, you got screwed by chinese cheese "carbon". Sorry man.

What is a 190x35mm shock?

Why is this PF92 when your other bikes are BSA? BSA is superior.

510mm axle to crown is a 100mm fork.
There is no such thing as a 190x35mm shock.

Does anyone know if this frame is available in generic form? thanks in advance.



Airwolf YFM059 is close. Linkage at the yoke is different. Cable ports aren't the same. Geo is identical. hmmmm.

Check press fit bb shells with calipers and make sure its in spec. Check headset cups for structural integrity.

And then a pebble gets stuck in the side knobs and shreds the carbon on your chainstay.

The gouge marks on the freehub happen when only one pawl locks into the teeth and there is an off center force on the axle. The axle flexes and pushes the freehub into the ratchet teeth. This will kill the bearing and crack the axle. One way to check this on a new hub is to rotate it slowly and listen for the teeth engaging. They should all engage at the same time. If they are too far apart, this will happen.

It can't be a Mach 5.5 copy while using a VPP link.
