Re: TanTan FM10 29/27.5+ Finally received my frame and got it all assembled.  Overall it looks great.  However, they still didn't really fix the shock interference issue if you are running a 200mm shock.  They added a bit of clearance that helps when the shock is full extended, but as it compresses and the linkage rotates it still hits.  I used a Grinder to remove a small amount of material to add the needed clearance.  I think it should be good now.  I will update after getting some miles on it.

Hi all,

I just had the problem that the screws on the frames got loose very easily. I had to glue them with red loctite now. I was lucky I wasn't alone on the trail, otherwise I could walk home for a couple of miles. I lost one screw while going up the hill, so I was able to find the screw after a couple of minutes an put it back in. So, for those who buy one of these frames and intend to use it off road seriously, use loctite before you even start to assemble the rest to this frame.
I am also not so happy with the internal cable routing ports, these rubbers don't do the job, they fall out, and then the cable start to chatter with every little vibration. This needs definitely some improvments!
Besides that, everything alright so far....
I Loctite all my frame bolts. Always assumed everyone did this. Forgot to do it on my Evil Following last year and nearly lost a trunnion bolt.

I add pool noodle chunks to my down tube around the head and bottom bracket to silence cables. Forgot who recommended it on here, but it works great.

Re: TanTan FM10 29/27.5+ I use closed cell rubber pipe insulation, it squashes up easier than the noodles so is easier to get in. Doesn't weigh much for the amount you need.
