« on: April 04, 2017, 07:20:24 AM »Thanks Dank. I thought some members were already sold on the fs27.I should have been more specific. I inquired about the FM058 29er frame which has not been released yet in a 19" size.

Received info quickly from Hong Fu. The 19" is slated for midmonth release at the earliest. With shipping and purchasing a high quality rear shock the total price delivered to US is pretty darn good. But I, like many others, don't want to be an early adopter/guinea pig. Part of me thinks looking for a similar geometry new in box closeout frame from a US-based company with warranty and easy customer service/returns may be a good option to consider. And it's always good to have options which the Hong Fu certainly is!

Wondering what the latest FM058 frame price is and what rear shocks available fit it. I'm not in the immediate market for one, but my 100mm rear travel carbon 29er is getting long in the tooth.

This was my first Chinese frame but multiple LB rims are in the garage. Service has been better or quicker than some US-based companies! In fact, I had a highly regarded long low slack aluminum 29er HT based out of Utah on the short list but the company never replied. I know emails get lost and phone calls are missed for good reason, and it's not to bash anyone, merely pointing out Peter's quick customer service. Looking forward to having a backup bike and pseudo gravel/bad weather ride.

About to place order for 057, and it seems a few warn to stay away from the NECO headset, but a search shows few riders have no issue for years.
I'm a Cane Creek 40 series kind of rider, no need to spend big bucks on a headset, but is the overwhelming consensus "stay away from the $15 Neco" and go with a $30 Cane Creek, or is the Neco a good way to save a few bucks?
Thanks. Great forum (obviously joined moments ago).
