Not remembering when I exactly confirmed, but I have some other FM936 frames on order.
I wouldn't speculate too much... yet  :D

Did you check the FM909 ?

Yeah I think I noticed the FM909 the first here on the thread. I'm just not a big fan of this shock mount. and find it little too expensive.

I have a joke !

After fighting hard to have a BSA BB, I'll get a BB92( they sent the wrong frame to painting ).
My bet, someone will get a BSA instead of BB92 soon!

And the painting is not exactly what I asked. Partly due to my imprecision.
But it look nice.
I dropped the fight... they ship the damn box on Monday, about 9 months after ordering.

See, I practice what I said just earlier: some patience maybe required.


WoW! hopefully you will receive it soon now. and paint is better in real. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
While writing the message I just received a message from Adam on skype:):)

They answer, they ship to Europe.
It is not your usual shop you enter in, buy and get out with the product.
Some patience is sometimes required.

Thanks for your reaction. I know the drill. Ordered before and was in contact about fm936 since late january. I patiently waited the Chinese newyear.
Now more than 3 weeks and 3 emails after CN, while reading mainly about fast feedback here, I m beginning to assume there is another reason.
Vitus sells same frame now as stated here before. Maybe has something to do with that. Maybe somebody else can conform An succeded order that was made after CN to western europe country...
Anyway I'm checking my other options at the moment so I'll hopefully be up and running before the season

also on Skype no reaction. Apparently they don't want to sell me a frame. Maybe no shipping to EU anymore. I'll go elsewhere.

Could you post a picture of this axle? where is she located?

The FM936 is designed for trunnion mount shock.

165x40mm = trunnion
165x42.5mm = trunnion
165x38mm = regular shock mount

you should get a trunnion mount shock or look for a conversion kit to mount regular shock on trunnion designed frame.

165X40mm is usually a TRUNNION mount shock.  165X38 is old style hardware, so you might need to fine hardware that would work with old style shock.

Any Idea which brand/store makes trunnion conversion kits to use 'old' 165x38 shock?
