I also wonder if it's related to the shock itself. Maybe it was tested with a Rockshox and there's some sort of difference on the Manitou..

I may be crazy, but looking at the flip chip, do you have it set to the larger position? From the picture TanTan sent me, it looked like the flip supported 200 or 210.

Ah man, that's terrible. Hope you can get it sorted.
Sounds 190 might be the sweet spot. Mind sharing some more pics from different angles?

Thanks so much for the update.
So will it take a 185mm trunnion shock? I'm confused again because the geometry chart said it would, but the description only mentioned 190-200

That's a crazy deal!
Looking at the geo chart for the frame, it looks like it'll take a 200x57. One of the pictures also suggests that the widths are 54mm and 40mm for the mounts. Should be able to find some hardware in those widths.
Wonder if @GuitsBoy can help here given their frame has arrived?

I'm going for a 150mm front fork, and looking at a 200x57 shock.
I'm having trouble finding out what kind of hardware is required. Does the frame take regular mounted shocks or does it have to be trunnion?
For regular, I can't seem to find any Rockshox mounting hardware with 54mm width.
What kind of deal did you get on your shock?

« on: June 03, 2020, 08:56:54 AM »I pulled the trigger on the frame in size L (19"), I think the measurements will still work for me even though I'd prefer an XL. I have no idea when the frame will get here, but hey, that's the fun of it!
I will prob start a build thread but with the momentum here, just wanted to let you know you have a partner in crime.
Thanks! I've pulled the trigger too on a 17.5.
Question I have is around the rear shock mounting hardware. Can't see anywhere what size I would need. Do you know?

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: Planning an FM10 build from TanTan - Sizing?
« on: June 03, 2020, 08:54:31 AM »I'm 1.75m (5'8" 3/4) and would not go with the 19" for one single reason. I would not be able to fit a dropper in there since the seat tube would be way too long. Nowadays, a dropper is mandatory on this kind of bikes when things are pointing down.
Thanks very much! I've ordered the 17.5.

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Planning an FM10 build from TanTan - Sizing?
« on: June 02, 2020, 07:39:02 AM »
Hi all, planning my second chiner build, first MTB.
Am looking at the FM10 frame from TanTan: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000405521351.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.68006c85XBdhkL&algo_pvid=1129719f-8eae-4e90-8630-3e3ab89d33c0&algo_expid=1129719f-8eae-4e90-8630-3e3ab89d33c0-18&btsid=0ab50f6215911011239063755ec180&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
With 27.5 wheels.
I have a question about sizing. I'm 5'9 with an 33.5" inseam. I'm not sure what size to go for.
I'm new to the sport, and think I'd prefer a more relaxed position, with the option to get aggressive. I'd prefer a short stem on the bike.
I tried a few bikes out in a store yesterday and was very comfortable on a Norco Sight (29er) and Jamis Dakar (27.5) in Large. The reach of those bikes are 485mm and 463mm respectively. Which makes me lean towards the 19" FM10 with 460mm reach.

What do you think? I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi, how did it go?
I'm looking into getting this frame soon too. Very interested in your experiences.
