i was able to load the bearings on the frame with a 56mm gap.  All tightened and greased up, the bolt now rotates on the bearings.  Before i never had this.

Ah, I understand
Have ordered one of those mounting kits and some of these washers

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352860992216

i used two 3mm m10 spacers on each side to bring it up to the 56mm gap: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Nylon-Plastic-Spacers-Standoff-Washer-All-Sizes-M2-to-M16-CHEAPEST/401879787794


edit:  you might also want to buy the m8x40 kit for the other side

just received a replacement bolt, its exactly as it was before, but just realised that the 10x50 mounting kit i ordered (https://www.tftuned.com/tf-tuned-mount-kit-127mm-m10/p2938) fits perfectly and will fix my issue as it spreads the weight/impact over the thicker end parts of the bolt rather than the centre.

Yes, i am totally aware that the FM10 has more travel and is heavier than what i think of. But, by now the only suitable frame i found is the ICAN P1, wich i dont like too much. So i'm thinking about alternatives ;) Maybe i will go for 150 mm instead of 130. Better having without needing something, instead of needing and not having it.
(in case i opt for a trailbike, it will be a budget build anyway... so weight cannot be my fist concern)

60 Bucks for a colour other than black sonds like a nice option. I'll keep that in mind.

to get 150mm i think you need 27.5 wheels, i've got 29ers and i'm using a 200x51mm shock, if i put in 200x57 i think the rear wheel would hit the seatpost, but i might be wrong.

Hi Skelt, yes I would be expecting it for free. Please let us know what they say, I am looking the same place you bought from and two others, on is Seraph factory store, as opposed to official store, and the other is Chic bike.  Not much difference in price but where you bought says they don't include rear axle or seat clamp but the factory store says they do. Chic bike includes both and headset but their price includes postage which means I'll be paying tax on postage, to Aus.

Did yours come with rear axle and set collar or did you have to order them?

It came with the rear axle and headset.  I almost got this one (looks the same): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000473711753.html

Hi Skelt, welcome.

Now that you know about it have you contacted the seller to get a replacement rear triangle / rocker arms?  They should be able to send you correct stuff.

I've sent them a message, should i get it for free?

It would be nice if there was some way of getting in touch with S***T from the UK that left the review on this page and let him know that Seraph have a new rear triangle.  I wonder when he ordered the frame?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000405521351.html?spm=a2g01.12616982.tplist001.214.3c11601cazw3cT&gps-id=5950812&scm=1007.23961.125497.0&scm_id=1007.23961.125497.0&scm-url=1007.23961.125497.0&pvid=a4c1897d-6e43-4f36-a050-9ce8eafea6cc

Hi! I just found this site.

Yeah i'm having some teething problems with the frame.  Like one of the posts above my front bolt for the rear shock also snapped! Doesn't fill you with confidence that the carbon itself is solid, but it appears to be....i hope.

I've ordered a titanium m10x80 bolt and nut, 3mm spacers, a rubber o-ring and washer from ebay.  Also ordered 10x50 mounting kit from: https://www.tftuned.com/tf-tuned-mount-kit-127mm-m10/p2938

I also had to hand make a aluminium adapter and drill the holes in the correct location to stop the frame rubbing.

Fingers crossed that'll be it!

Edit: i ordered the frame on the 5th of march 2020
