Title: TanTan fm121 warranty replacement
Post by: bangacan on March 19, 2026, 01:44:58 PM

How many of us are waiting for the fm121 to be replaced under warranty? Have they given you any timeline? I love riding it but there are so many issues to resolve. I always knew the rocker arm was poorly made. From the get go I could push a couple bearings in and out with my fingers. I think this led to sloppiness and maybe the cause of the cracks in my rear triangle.

I’ve got races coming up and I really want to ride the 121 but I might just buy a frame elsewhere. It’s too bad because I think the geometry is spot on.

I don't even ask, this dangerous frame is too unreliable

The rear triangle was cracked on my FM121 frame on the first ride. I rode about 2 km to adjust the rear shock before that happened.
I've been waiting for a rear triangle replacement since August 2025. They still say they're testing a new version of the rear triangle.
