Hey guys,

I've noticed that the linkage bolts are rather poor quality, as mine are pretty much stripped after a few torque sessions...

All I managed to find is that the main pivot bolts are M6x20. Does anyone maaaaybe have the entire list of bolt specs to share, please?

Hi ivou, nice bike!
This saddle looks not to be set for shorter legs. What is the distance from bb centrr to the saddle top?
Maybe my legs aren't that short  ;D

Hey guys!

Been on the fence about buying one of these for the last year or so, but I stumbled upon a good deal and decided to jump in.

After 500 km on the bike, I have to say that I really like the frame. The suspension feels nice, and the position on the bike is comfortable. It climbs really nicely, the suspension is not that active, still need to test it on some better descends. But loving the bike so far. Wasn't sure about the sizing (180cm, somewhat short legs), but decided to go with the M size combined with a 70mm -20deg stem and 120mm of front travel - and so far it fits. Waiting on the race season to see if something needs tweaking.

Here are a few photos of the build.




The specs are:
Carbonda FM936, M size
FOX Float DPS Factory, 165x42.5
SR Suntour Axon Elite 34, 120mm
M8000 groupset
M8020 pedals
DT Swiss M1900 Spline 30 wheels w/ Maxxis Ikon 29x2.35
TranzX 150mm dropper post
Is somewhat heavy at 13ish kgs, but I wanted a "stronger" bike that can take abuse (and also I'm 90ish kg) so that fits the bill.

Will get back to you with a more detailed review after a few more kilometers. Greetings from Croatia!
