Re: TanTan FM10 29/27.5+
What 3.0s are you running and do you have much clearance to the stays?

I'm running 2.8 nobby nics on nextie jungle fox 52 rims (45mm inner width) and the tires measure out at 2.980" when fully stretched at 18 psi.  There is just shy of 1/4 inch clearance to the stays.  Slightly more than my previous frame.

Hello GuitsBoy, how was the history of the damage to your frame by the shock absorber? Did they replace the part? or with the filing arrangement with the Dremel you have left it like this ... has the arrangement gone well?
I am in the same situation even file the round head of the shock absorber to see if it is solved, it rubs less but it continues to rub.
Hey, sorry, I must have missed this.  Yes, they did replace the rear seatstays, main alloy pivot, and the shock bolt with a stainless steel variant.   None of which have been installed since my various workarounds are doing just fine.  Even the epoxy carbon repair looks fine.

Re: TanTan FM10 29/27.5+
Hello,

I consider purchasing FM10 as well.
I am 184cm tall with 87cm leg length. I am considering 21'' frame.
In the internet each calculator is giving different result.

Please advice.
   

I'm 6.0 ft (183 cm) and I dont think I would feel comfortable on a 21.   The 19 doesn't feel cramped to me, but it certainly doesnt feel long either.  Do you prefer a bigger bike or a smaller one?  At your height, You could go either way.

The product description says the axle is not included unless you add it to your order: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000405521351.html

I foolishly assumed that all 148x12mm thru-axles were the same. But I learned otherwise last night.

It's not a big deal, I can wait until the frame arrives to figure this out. It's in the hands of the shippers now.

I still think you might be pleasantly surprised, but just in case, the specs are printed on the axle itself.

Stuff like this:

" ps: As a frame supplier, we understand the frame better. "

Wow.  That would piss me right off.   I doubt I'll buy another frame from TanTan in the future.   Its a shame because Ive been quite pleased with mine overall, and they did right by me.  Too many other people having a bad experience with them.  Not worth the risk now.

I lost the male bolt and washer from one of the rear frame pivot sex bolts and contacted TanTan via info@tantancycling.com and through the web site chat utility and received a response from both within 24 hours. Caroline contacted me over Whatsapp and I ordered a new one DHL express for $70 total (10 day delivery). Regular shipping would have only been $20 total but no certainty on delivery date. I received a tracking number just a few hours after making payment with Paypal.
Oh man, thats pricey delivery!   I would have run your makeshift bolt and waited, but I guess you needed it sooner than later.  Hope you're not down for too long.

Just going to throw out there that I have finally given in and swapped out my 27.5 x 2.8's for 29 x 2.3's and the bike has come alive. Almost identical weights on both wheelsets so it's not that, just rolling resistance and no more pedal strikes. Will be going back to the 175 cranks asap.
Funny you should mention that.  I just built up a set of 29er hoops on M1 hubs with DT swiss internals the last two nights.  Got it all taped and mounted up this morning.  Hoping to take it for a shakedown run tomorrow night.  Ive been riding 29ers on my little 100mm travel bike, but now I can swap 27.5x2.8 and 29x2.35 out at will on this bike.  Moving from nobby nics  to maxxis forekasters made the pedal strikes unbearable, and I had to stretch the fork to 160 to compensate.  The 29ers should alleviate that.  Glad to hear you like the new wheels, good luck with it.
