Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

[theirishrider]

yes, I was lucky to buy a frame from a defective lot. The cracks around the top link started back in December, just a month after the purchase. I recently received a new front triangle.

Carbonda's warranty support is one of the best, many thanks to them.

Ah  no! When did you order the frame/delivery? worried i'm in the same batch!

I continue to ride on the old frame, it feels all right with it, I'm waiting for it to break completely

Thanks! I remember the photo you put! Almost looks like a paint crack, did you confirm it was a carbon crack? - either way its good to hear carbonda warranty. - Honestly name brands are almost worse to deal with.

I just showed the photo of the crack to Adam and he replied that he would send a new front triangle. Apparently before me there were already the same appeals and they already knew about the problem of marriage

I cleaned the crack from the varnish, but I could not understand the crack of the varnish or carbon fiber

Thoughts on Reba or Revelation?

Revelation, no doubt.
Reba lacks stiffness and you might run this bike into heavier terrain than what the Reba is made for.
Plus, 32 mm stanchions look pretty lost in this large frame.
Depending on what you want to make out of this frame (Trailbike or XC-Bike), i think you can use it in 130 mm.

Thanks,  the revelation I have is the older 32mm one anyway.

Anyone here with this frame north of 200lbs? I'm 6'4" 210lbs and currently debating between the fm936 or the fm909 (size XL) for my next build. Just curious as to how they hold up with a 210lbs rider

I am also now looking at the Ican S3 as it appears to be like the fm936 with just a non flex stay rear triangle. I have never ridden a flex stay frame and not 100% sure how they do for someone my size.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! The goal is to build a 26-28lbs 120/100mm 29" speed machine.

I'm 6'1" and about 205 on a large. My build is a 24.5 pound 120/115ish. I've been riding it for about 3 months and have no complaints. I ride it thru some rowdy roots and rocks and it's a blast.

Can someone advise,

Headset 42/52 internal?
Rear axle what size fits?

Thanks in advance

Ready to get this build started.
Made up of both new and used parts. Will probably upgrade the fork at some point.

Painted Regular Weight FM936 Frame (Stock headset and Axle)
Velocity Blunt SS Wheels
RockShox Reba 100mm
Fox Float DPS 165x42.5
M8000 11 speed Groupset
M7100 SLX Brakes
Ashima 180mm Rotors
Fovno Phantom Crankset and BB
Wren Carbon Bars 750mm

A bit of a budget build but it should tackle everything here in Michigan just fine.
Wrapped most of the frame last night in 3M, have just two chainstays left (ran out of 3m)

Should have it wrapped up over the weekend. Super excited!

Nice colour.
Painting by Carbonda?
Which colour is it?
Thanks

[reddi]

Wow. I really like that color!
I had a hard time deciding between red and green. Once i saw my red frame, i fell in love... but your frame color makes me think about it again...
Nevermind, i love my bike and yours will also be adorable.
