Hey, @Hayek what LightCarbon wheels did you get? I'm thinking about their trail model, but 26mm internal width is a bit narrow for my liking. Anyone running HongFu FM138? What wheels do you have on yours?

Hi there. Thank you for the excellent review. You've captured the brake situation perfectly. I had the same feeling that no matter which one I chose, it wouldn't be quite right. The upside is that Malissa asked me to hold off on purchasing brakes until I received the frame. Could you also share which handlebar you chose for your bike?

Hi. I'm reaching out to see what brakes you've installed on your FM138. I've been discussing this with Malissa from HongFu and there seems to be an ongoing issue with Shimano brake compatibility. Specifically, the M6120, M7120, and M8120 series are not recommended. Additionally, a customer reported difficulties installing a rear XT M8100 brake. Malissa suggested exploring SRAM brakes as an alternative. While this seems unusual, I won't be able to verify the compatibility issues with Shimano brakes until I receive the frame.

I'm looking for some advice on frame size. I'm 176 cm tall and I'm currently riding a Rockrider XC900S size L with a reach of 436. HongFu size M, which surprisingly has the same reach. I'm wondering if the M HongFu might be too small for me. What size HongFu FM138 frame did you choose and what is your height??
