I wonder why TanTan uses FM for their model names.

« on: May 16, 2021, 05:23:28 PM »I'm looking for a similar Hardtail frame. Not so easy to find hardtail frame in xl. I found the airwolf boost 29. https://m.de.aliexpress.com/i/1005001901205711.html
You can check this one out. Maybe someone else has more suggestions.
Thank you for the link.
It looks great. Maybe not the dropped chainstay.
Who will buy it first ?

Being optimistic... it may be just their web page.
Did you ask them already?

« on: May 14, 2021, 03:45:16 PM »The FM199 looks promising, but no XL available.
Any recommendations for something similar in XL?
Can't find the Trek Stache Clone
Flybike-asia.com has one, but only B2B if you can arrange it.
I've built one for my business partner, few years ago, and he loves it, with a Pike fork and in 29+ tires
Pieter who left but then came back (is he?) did sell them.

« on: May 14, 2021, 03:39:11 PM »Is the 799 better than 199-B? By what means?The 199-B is flat mount which today limits brake choices.
If I remember well lighter and with a better geometry.
Cleaner cable entry(only one).
And i'm not particularly fond of the 799 squarish tubing.
But I need a 21" and a 17"/or 15", hopefully from the same builder to save on shipping.

I was precisely looking at both models today for a friend, to find they were not available in 21"
I'm so disappointed Carbonda stopped selling hardtails, the FM386 21" I've built last year was quite good. Maybe if we ask politely

It is the 199-B right?
If no new frame comes out, I'll order two soon.
Looking forward for your build progress.

I’m doing a (almost) full Ali build, and didn’t expect the frame to be the last thing to be received.
Many things can happen, the seller is late, the shipment company is slow, the customs are slow.
You'll find plenty of stories about this.
Relax, wait patiently, nothing can be done anymore.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: has anyone else dealt with shipping nightmares from companies (dengfu being mine
« on: May 12, 2021, 11:22:02 PM »ive bought two frames and the second ones in the mail but it takes 45ish days for it to come from china (flown) to my door. 90% of that delay is usps. its stuck in customs for 2 weeks and then sits in a regional warehouse for another two-3 weeks. like wtf i just want to ride
Why reference Dengfu, as if they had something to do with that?
Choose another transporter option next time.
Being your own importer may have some issues, but generally things arrive, only time is lost.

« on: May 11, 2021, 10:36:20 AM »I like the FM1156. http://www.flybike-asia.com/product/254.htmlDid you ask Carbonda for the FM1156 ?
It's not available yet as far as I can tell, but looks really interesting, 135 mm travel with a 78° STA and a 65.5° HTA.
Wing did send me a geometry file in August last year, saying it would be available as from December.

« on: May 11, 2021, 09:14:46 AM »well, a bit of concern i have. this place keep open and close with the swing arm movement. if the rubber grommet is too tight, it prevents swing. If the housing is too long, it will knock the frame inside and make noises. If the housing is too short, maybe i got the ghost shifting problem. It is the reason why A lot of frame has the housing outgoing from the bottom of the down tube under the bottle cage and dive in again at the chain stay to make cable length margin.The Stumpjumper has the same kind of connection

« on: May 08, 2021, 04:48:46 PM »Thanks for the recommendations!
Doing some quick research seems like these frames have fairly aggressive (relative to peers) stack-reach and seat tube angle.
Its all relative but curious to hear from people who have ridden these frames feel how bent over they are compared to other bikes and any knee problems from the steep seat tube angle?
Looking to avoid numb hands and sore knees!!
With the 936 you are more toward the front wheel than before, with a shorter stem and steeper seat tube.
I didn't get any hands or knees trouble so far.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Reasonable Chinese wheels
« on: May 08, 2021, 01:08:55 AM »Depends how reasonably priced you need ... aluminium or carbon?
I just bought a set of carbon wheels from 'Elite Wheels' on AliExpress and I've been really impressed with the quality for the price
https://elitewheels.aliexpress.com/store/1859081?spm=a2g0o.search0302.0.0.48cd7552y8kjZt
I paid £258 ($360), which is kind of crazy considering that many 'branded' aluminium disc wheels cost more.
Thanks for the reminder.
Which model did you buy?
