Lexon Scale goes up to 40T and has front derailleur mount if required. Geometry suitable for monster gravel.

Though unfortunately it seems that due to some crying on German forums the optional FD mount from the early frames has been completely eliminated as an option. Still rather have 2x on gravel.
I would have purchased this frame if it had a front derailleur and used it as a 2x gravel bike.
Wing advised the max chainring is 36T, so there goes a 1x gravel option too.

Hi azuzu501
What handlebar are you using?

« on: October 06, 2021, 05:30:07 PM »Hi folks,
checking my understanding here: the 909 is pretty much identical to the 936 in geometry, weight and shock length, but has space for 2 bottles instead of 1, slightly different cable routing and chain guide tabs. Is that it? Any differences on stiffness known?
Cheers
Pretty much. However, weight is ~100g less. Stiffness is unknown and ride feel is dependent on what suspension you install.

« on: June 25, 2021, 07:04:18 PM »Ordered one of these in the Super Lite version almost 2 months ago I was told it should be delivered in June but now being told that the superlite delivery is being pushed back to maybe October due to engineering issues and frame testing.
Damn. I got one on order too. They obviously found an issue with the structural integrity that needs to be resolved.
The alternative is that we get the frame on time, break it, commence a warranty claim and be down a bike for months waiting for a replacement frame.
It's crap they are delayed, but better than the alternative.
If anything, I find it reassuring ie Carbonda's quality control and testing is of a high standard.

I requested a quote for the handlebar too and was told it was not in production. The handlebar is on the flybike website. It's called hb 156 http://www.flybike-asia.com/product/217.html I don't know if it'll ever be available without ordering a commercial quality. I ordered one of these handlebars (thanks carbonza) https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32967312663.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0n.store_m_allProduct.allProducts_11695160.32967312663

Yep, kinda. Carbonda won't disclose commercial information ie who is using their frames.
Haven't asked about the ride quality of 909 vs 936.

@carbonazza
Would it be safe to assume the availability of the 909 frame ties in with the release of a manufacturer releasing a bike using this frame?
Do you reckon a 909 would have a harsher/firmer ride comparative to the 936?
