Hi, my frame size is M (17.5)

Now I have another problem. When the rear suspension compresses, the brake rotor rubbing the pads. This also occurs when the bike leans into corners. I think it's a rear triangle stiffness issue. I contacted HongFu two months ago, and since then they've only asked for a photo of the brake mount on the frame.

In this video i push down my chest on saddle two times

Thanks! well seems like my theory was incorrect then, as others with M-sized frames have reported they do not have the problem with the linkage hardware bottoming out at 70% travel.

And yes, looking at your video, that looks like there is insufficient stiffness in the rear triangle.

Hi. Has anyone tested the suspension at full travel? It looks like a design flaw. The suspension mounting parts touch each other at about 70% of the travel and become damaged. The frame suspension stops there. Im using SIDLuxe 210x50 shock.
I emailed Zoe from HongFu about this issue.

Hi, what size is your frame? I'm curious if all sizes have this problem, because I don't see many complaints on other FM358 threads so I'm thinking that they may have only tested one size and just scaled the design for different sizes without actually testing.

Thanks!

Yes, we will make a regular version. Weight about 1000g

I quite like the superlight version as is, except for the cable routing through the headset, which for me is a deal breaker.

Are there any chances you make a version with regular cable routing outside of the headset? Thanks!

No, ho preso da poco questo:

Hi, how is the frame working for you?
Is the seatpost diameter 30.9 or 30.8mm ?

Thanks!

WCB-M-062

My first build, wanted to do something a little different. So far I'm loving it on the local single track!

Eventually I may throw on a dropper post and rig it up to the unused front shifter, but for now I'm fine with the stop, drop, and roll routine at the top of the hill.

Nice bike! how is your shifting? I was under the impression that road levers and MTB derailleurs were not compatible because of differente pull ratios.

Thanks!
