Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Mondince FM336

Hello FM336 owners

I ordered my "orange" frame last week, still struggling with the one and only question "dub wide" or not.

Want to run 1x13 drivetrain, 38T chainring.

Does anybody has installed the Dub normal version and got problems with clearance
 - chainring to chainstays
 - pedal (heel) to seatstays
 - or anything else annoying?

I would prefer a 45mm chain line with 145mm Q-Factor, but without any hassle...

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers
Alex

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Dengfu MTB Frame FM238 - not suitable for front suspension!!!

Happy New Year....

This is my story.

I bought last August via Dengfu a mtb carbon frame FM238 with individual painting. After a couple of weeks the frame arrived without any damages, painting met my expectations.
So, what Is my problem. I am still building up my "dream bike". Brakes and Fork are the only missing parts. Maybe this sounds stupid, but I must have the Rockshox RS-1 - I love the design.
I prefer 120mm travel, but the frame geometry (70.5 head angel / 73 seat tube angel) is telling me 100mm might fits better. I do uphill racing, no bike parks or serious downhills.

I decided to ask Dengfu, what the recommended travel is and asked:
"...can you please tell me the recommended travel suspension for the Frame FM238?
There is no information on your website and this is an elementary information."

Answer: For FM238, it is not a suspension frame. Do you want to order 27.5er suspension frame?

Wow, shit happens. There was no information regarding suspension on the webside as well on all other pages, selling the FM238.

Is the frame now for the dustbin? Is anybody else riding this frame with front suspension? If yes - how long are you riding this frame? Any bad or good experiences?

Thanks for your support.

Cheers, Alex from Munich, Germany
