Hey guys,
So bit of an update with my frame. Whilst the inner tube was an issue, i magically got it routed somehow.
After i got the cable routed, i was doing more maintenance (recovering from a broken collar bone) noticed a 5-6cm long crack just under the BB in the center round part.
Sent off an email with a few images, Wing replied advising she'll send it off to their technical department. Came back to me 1 week later saying they'll replace the front triangle under warranty
VERY happy with service! Definitely would buy again from them
This was just before the Xmas time. Received the frame around 8-10 days later.

Hey All,
Have had the frame now for about 18-19 months. I pulled out my rear brake hose because I want to change brake set.
As a test, I tried to re-run a outer housing cable back to the rear, but it seems like the "curve/turn" part just before the BB is worn out/broken/gone. The cable now just pops out straight in the BB area
Anyone else notice this?
Ive half given up trying to get a cable through and probably will externally route the new rear brake hose.

GOOD news guys!
Sanded, applied 4 strips of carbon fibre squares (probs overkill), sanded again and spray painted
Repair has passed the "coin tapping" test Not the neatest job but right now not really worried (first time doing a carbon repair)
Will take it out tomorrow arvo for a thrashing

Thanks guys! Just done a “tap test”. The sound is muted on the damaged area 
Any tips on DIY repairing/fixing?
Also emailing Carbonda to see how much for rear triangle

« on: December 20, 2022, 04:29:03 AM » . Bit devo guys!Had a fall today and just my luck where it happened, a rock was sticking out and has damaged the rear triangle brake calliper side just below it (see pics - sorry left pics full res to get full detail)
Is it bad (I feel like it is)? Should I be concerned?

« on: October 05, 2022, 08:25:14 PM »Basically, you tilt the bike 90 degrees or more forward (leaning on the front wheel) and then even further back, almost upside down. This usually causes any water in the frame or stays to come out of the pivots on the stays or on the rocker arm.
Since your rear triangle is solid, it may be a different story there but hopefully this helps. Let us know if you do find any way to drain the water other than removing the BB, whether it’s this or something else….
Since last post i have washed my bike a few times. I've tilted 90 deg back and forward. I did see a few drops come out but nothing major. Next wash i'll tilt more

« on: October 05, 2022, 08:23:31 PM »Just got the initial paint proofs back from Katie at Carbonda. Zooky, I appreciate you taking the plunge first. At 100 kg, I should be able to give you some idea of durability though am really just getting started with local enduro runs and tend to shy away from huge drops and jumps. I went with pastel orange. Maybe a little lighter in color than I was envisioning but I think it'll look good with some dirt on it. Will keep you posted.
Looks good! Let us all know how the paint job holds up for you please.
I've been doing a few drops lately (around hip to chest height) and bike has been flawless! You shouldn't have any issues

« on: September 08, 2022, 09:55:59 PM »There’s a somewhat similar issue with the FM1002 (and I assume 1001) where if you rinse off the bike, you have to tilt it really far both forward and backward to drain water out of the linkage and frame from the pivot points. I wonder if it’s possible to get water out of the FM1003 the same way or the only option really is to remove the BB (which is obviously not great).
Interesting! I'll try it out after the next wash and let you know

Hey All!
So far the frame has been AMAZIING! It is my first FS bike so its a little hard for me to compare to anything else. The more I ride, the more and more I love it and definitely the hard/faster you go it really shines.
As noted above in my previous post, the standard black paint is not very good. It is holding up just fine but I think a custom/additional paint job would prob be better.
Also note - there is no hole near/around bottom bracket so if you wash your bike a lot water builds up until you take the BB out and let it drain
If anyone needs specifics let us know

1st Ride Review
Climbing - Climbs HEAPS better than my 2016 275 HT. Minimal to no pedal bob. Things that I could not do before I am able to do with ease now. So far cannot fault climbing.
Descending - Amazing! Did not have any sketchy moments thinking I was going OTB etc. Im still getting use to newer geometry so I have to remember no need to lean back as much as I had to on my old Hard Tail (shorts scrapped the back wheel a few times)
Can pretty much point the bike down at any line and it just eats everything up
Still need to tweak the Fork & Shock a little, but I think im almost there.
Note: The standard free colour the bike comes with does pick up/show oil, fingerprint marks etc. So, if anyone was considering this frame, prob better to get a custom paint job
