Component Deals & Selection / 100mm or 120mm fork
« on: February 24, 2015, 06:43:18 PM »
Hi, I'm looking at a pretty good deal on a Fox 120mm fork.
When I bought my frame (FR-207, 26") never saw a spec about what was the recommended fork travel. As I used a 100mm fork I already had, I didn't put that much attention to it, but now I'm considering the longer fork. Do you have any idea if the chiner frames were designed for 100mm or 120mm would work?

Also, what are your thoughts about moving from 100 to 120?

Component Deals & Selection / Chiner derailleur hanger
« on: February 08, 2015, 10:16:55 AM »
Hi there,
I would like to know if anyone is having the same problem and if you have any suggestions to fix this issue.
I've been very happy with my frame, no problems at all with it but it's the derailleur hanger that is literally driving me crazy. My frame is a flyii 26" FR-207 (I'm attaching a picture of the hanger). First of all I think the aluminum on the chiner hanger is too soft, it bends very easily that even when just moving the bike around if the derailleur touches anything or just by leaning on it the hanger bends so it's never straight and I'm always having problems getting the derailleur to be aligned or shift right. I already used a 58 wheels manufacturing hanger, it is a little stiffer but same, it's already bent a little. I imagine if having the hanger attached to the outside of the frame would give it a little more support, there are actually frames that use basically the same hanger on the opposite side but it's like a mirror of mine. Any way, have you had this same problem?
