Hello,

I consider purchasing FM10 as well.
I am 184cm tall with 87cm leg length. I am considering 21'' frame.
In the internet each calculator is giving different result.

Please advice.
   

As for the wheelset:
The Aliexpress shop has suggested I go with https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001946012899.html with the Shimano groupset above.
Probably he does not know the difference between the Sunrace and Shimano HG+

In this respect two doubts
The new  wheelset is 25mm inner asymmetric rim , the old I have selected is 29mm symmetric rim .
I tend to think bigger carbon rim should be stronger.
From the other side the asymmetrical rim seems to distribute the weight better.
Do you think the suggested wheelset is better?

the suggested  wheelset uses koozer XM390 boost
https://www.koozer.net/219.html I see they goes in 3 different bodies  Shimano 11S, SRAM XD and microspline
What I am unclear if those bodies are replaceable or this is an option in the hub partnumber?   

Hi zilcho,

Thank you for the comment!

>That groupset is using a SunRace 12 speed cassette that is compatible with standard HG freehubs so you don't need a special 12 speed hub on the wheels.
Strange the DAIRSBIKE Store person told me that I will need Novatek NT-d462 rear hub if I want 12speed cassette

For the frame where the fork will be they specify L=500mm
For that fork they specify 555mm. Minus 30% sag means 513mm
So my front of the bike will be probably around 10mm higher
Do you believe this is an issue?
BTW this is not 140mm actual stroke fork, 140mm is the exposed length.
I am not sure how much will be the actual travel.

What do you guys think about the brakes.
A friend of mine told me that 160mm front and rear disks may be too small?

Thanks     

Hi Calvin,

I am from Bulgaria.
Yes I use bikecomponents.de from time to time.

Purchasing from China has one big advantage to me.
You order and you get excited yourself for at least a month before you get the components in.
A good strategy in the consumer world we are living I beleive

I will try to describe the wheelset after they arrive but I am afraid I don't have a basis for comparison.
We will see.

Cheers

Hello,

I am new to road bikes. I have decided to purchase the components from aliexpress so reduce the price a bit.
As I am very new to this field I probably have not selected all the components compatible.
Any comment is welcome:
