Hi all!

The information will be useful for those who want to buy a 120mm link separately for the 909 frame.

The new link is a little thicker than the old one and does not fit into the stays with the original washers. The situation was repeated on three 909 frames with new links. During installation, one of the frames cracked.
To properly install a new link, you need to grind spacer washers of a different thickness (the photo shows my washers, which were made for me in the workshop)

We wrote to Carbonda, we will wait for a response

The official warranty for the frame is 2 years and it ended 4 months ago. But Carbonda looked at the photos and decided to send me a new rear triangle for free and even paint it for free

Udp:
For accurate gradient paint like on the original triangle they asked for $50. I think it's a great price and great service

Ouch I hope they will be back to you in any case because 2000 km are not enough to justify those cracks

The frame was bought in 21, the bike's mileage is 2000 km

Today I discovered several cracks. I wrote to carbonda, I hope they offer a replacement rear triangle. But the 2 year warranty has already expired, so they are no longer obligated to send a replacement.

Is this true? Carbonda plans a linkage for FM909 to support 120mm travel suspension?
Any link you can share?

Thanks & regards,
Michael

Yes, my friends and I have already ordered 3 120mm linkage. Carbonda promised that she would send the goods as soon as possible

Wow, a headset now have a new compression ring. Because my headset began to backlash.
"There is no protection of the bearings from dirt."
JvanJ, you can see my photos a few pages ago. I'm made a protection with a piece of old tube.

I also noticed. You need to ask carbonda to send you a new compression ring. But I haven't had any problems with the headset yet.

Whats your height/weight?  I was pretty much sold on getting one but am concerned about how it will handle my weight. I'm only 10 kg under that "max" weight for the frame.

Hello!
My height is 174cm
Weight 71-73kg

How are you liking the bike, now that you have had some time on it?

I didn't drive much, about 600 km. In general, I like absolutely everything, this is exactly the bike that I wanted to get.
I have not found any problems yet, but it seems to me that you need to drive several thousand kilometers to draw full conclusions

Hi, I am thinking of getting this frame.
What is the long term experience and reliability like? I am thinking on those who have been riding it for a while now.
Also. If I remember correctly some had issues with the length of the axle and the size / threads for the derailleur hanger.
Has carbonda ironed out this issues, if at all?
Do people who have recently received the frame have noticed these or any other issues?

Hello!

I bought the frame in December, the axle was too long.
I solved the problem simply - I made a 2mm spacer, put it on the axle

Which do you prefer? :)

My bike is a 909. I like the 909 better because it has an overhead shock, less dirt gets on the shock and it can hold two water bottles and a small bag.

My friend and I had two cannondale f-si 2019. a friend wanted to have full suspension. I found the Carbonda brand and we bought a 936 frame. He needed size L, and I doubted what size I needed. In the end, we assembled a bike for him, I rode it and realized that I also needed an L. A little later, I bought myself a 909

Please share experience fm909 with 165x42.5 shock if somebody use it.

Is it OK?

I have fox dps 42.5, no problem.  The workshop looked at the gap and offered to increase it to 45, but I refused.

Why you like so long wheelbase?

because I'm not an XC rider, I rarely race XC, I don't need top speed, but I love trail riding and love the bike's great stability.

Large wheelbase for comfortable trail riding

You might think that a trail bike would be better for me, but I live in a big city and I have to travel a lot on asphalt to get to interesting places.  in the city, a trail bike is not as comfortable as an XC

Hi azuzu501

What handlebar are you using?

Cheers,
John

Hey!

Sorry for the long reply, I rarely visit this forum)

I use a Chinese copy of the Gemini Kastor steering wheel. (https://ridegemini.com/en/tienda/kastor-en/)   (https://clck.ru/gun3z)

I am very radical in choosing a bike. I really wanted to have
the longest possible wheelbase and I love short stems very much.

Accordingly, with a height of 174cm, I bought an L frame and put a handlebar on it with a 10mm offset. I really like this control, I really do not like long stems.

Now the fit on the bike is set up and I am very satisfied
