29er / Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
« on: July 25, 2023, 03:10:39 PM »
After lurking this page and gathering parts for a while, here's my FM936 120mm, size S in matte RAL 6003 (Olive Green).
With Fox Factory float SC fork and rear shock, Shimano XT groupset and speedsafe wheels (ali-express) it ended up at 12kg.
Really happy with how nimble and reactive it is, however the front end does feel a little nervous (even on straights), despite the fact that the fork is a 44mm offset.
Any recommendations on changing stem length or bar width make the front end more stable? I'm reading conflicting things about stem length online, some sources say a shorter stem makes for quicker handling, some say it delivers more stable steering
Right now I'm running a temporary cockpit I had laying around with handlebar width 69cm and 100mm stem (-17degrees), reach wise this already feels pretty good.
thanks!
