What is the price for that ?

The shock itself with the remote added and modified to work with the Rockshox SUD Ultimate fork and Twistloc remote cost $759AUD/€464//US$568. Which after I pay Norwegian VAT works out close enough to buying comparable shock in Europe. It was sent DHL express and I think it’ll arrive tomorrow (one week shipping total). Aiden at Cyclinic was super helpful via email.

I’ve found a remote shock solution if any one is interested. It might be too expensive for some people but it’s an option non the less and it took a lot of searching to find it so thought I’d share it here.

I’ve just ordered a modified Fox Factory Float DPS 165x40 Trunnion mount shock from Aiden at https://cyclinic.com.au/ in Australia. He will mod a non remote 165x40 shock to have a remote that works in unison with a Sid ultimate shock (normally the fox shock would open/lock with opposite remote lever movements). So this will let me operate front and rear with the Rockshox Twostloc remote.

Balls,

Seems neither fox or rockshox make a remote operated shock available after market in a 165x40 ( that i can find for sale).

Would love to know what remote operated shocks others here are using!

I can find a fox DPS in 165x38 or 165x45. Rockshox are being twatts and only provinding their remote operated 165x40 shocks to bike manufacturers as OEM and cant even tell me which brands use that size shock so i cant even order a "replacement" though one of them.

I can't tell anymore where i read about it, but i think the DT Swiss dual position system works with 5.5 mm cable pull for each step, so 10 mm cable pull from RS twistloc might not give a full lockout, but close to. I think i'll try that out when the frame has arrived (it's getting painted at the moment).

Meanwhile, I'm not too sure where the remote lockout cable is routed out of the frame, as with the DT Swiss shock the cable stopper would be oriented right down in the direction of the BB. Could get "interesting" to connect the cable when it is routed from below the bottle holder screws... Or am i just thinking the wrong way? ???

youre right about the DTswiss cable pull. i got a reply from a norwegian importer today. he said 11.5mm from open to lock, 5.7mm form open to drive. im still trying to find out what cable pull Fox uses. but ive seen that on the YT industires Izzo trail bike they use Fox fork and shock but a Rockshox twistlock remote. so wondering if a rockshox fork and Fox shock might play better together...seems impossible to find this stuff out though.

I asked an Aliexpress seller about the same frame and they said it was fine.I didn’t end up buying one though so have no first hand experience.

That could be difficult, the DTSwiss shocks have a 3 position lockout lever  :-\

Was wondering if the twistloc pulled enough cable to move the shock all the way from open<->closed without stopping on the middle setting.  After fork only has open and closed.

if you want 165x40 with remote, why not go for DT Swiss
https://www.dtswiss.com/en/suspension/shocks/r-232-one
https://www.dtswiss.com/en/suspension/shocks/r-535-one

they are both available with remote and in 165x40

Do you know if the Rockshox twist lock remote will work with the DTSwiss shock?
I already have the fork :-\

I just asked them to take a picture of the shock they have in stock, arguing that 1 customer received the wrong shock and that Rockshox says there is no aftermarket remote shock. I don't want to pay for a return if they send the wrong shock.

I will let you know.
My order is still blocked for 1 week because 1 product is not in stock, hopefully I will solve it before shipment.

i wonder if a fox shock will work with the twist lock remote. it seems it might but im not sure yet .

The twistlock aparently has a 10mm cable pull. just need to find a suitable fox shock and confirm the cable pull needed it. 

Ive also emailed sram again asking if they have any shock in 165x40 with remote thats available after market. Also asked which bikes come with the 165x40 remote shock OEM...maybe could just order a "replacement" shock through a dealer. will post any info i get here

Dear Mr. ******,

Thank you for your e-mail.

The item ROX496013 - RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate RL Solo Air Rear Shockv Fitting Length x Travel: 165 x 40 mm, is compatible with TwistLoc and OneLoc."

Same link as the 42.5 you bought, I think that you can contact them because they sent the wrong shock.

Hmm, now I’m more confused. I emailed SRAM about the 165x40 remote SIDluxe ultimate shock. This is their reply

Hi James,

Thanks for reaching out on this one.

The rear shock program is a hard one at the moment, just as there are soo many variations we have most shocks available OEM but not as many AM. We have this shock size available aftermarket as a standard shock though but the remote variant is not available aftermarket.

The part number for the lever adjust is:
AM RS SIDL ULT RL 165X40 SA1 MM 430TS A1 00.4118.305.014

Kind Regards,
SRAM Service Team

I doubt Carbonda includes the rear axle and plastic spacer in the stated frame weight. What does it weigh without those items?

yeah i guess thats fair enough. but they cant weigh that much. I cant weight the frame again until monday but id guess the axle and shock dummy might weigh ca 100g together. the rear drop out and cable guides were also on the bike. so i guess that might bring it down to closer to 2kg. I jsut got a little concerned when i saw the model printed inside the head tube and it said FM 936...no mention of SL. But 2kg is right for a size Large in the SL version.

Hey folks,

I just received my Carbonda FM936. I ordered an SL (super light) model. How do I know if I received an SL or standard model?

Its size Large and weighs 2116g with the rear axle and the plastic dummy shock. I thought it would be a bit lighter and the standard would be closer to this weight. Do you think I got the correct frame?
