Hello All,

I placed an order for an FM10 frame from tantan cycling last week. I am starting to put together a parts list and this thread has been very helpful. I just bought a Fox DXP2 185x55 trunnion shock off pinkbike for $275.

Northup if you are reading this I had some questions for you.

How did those Dairs 29er wheels work out? Are they worth purchasing? I live in Arizona and the trails I ride are very rocky. Is it advisable to have carbon wheels? If not can you (or anyone) recommend any other wheels I should check out?

 It sounds like the Fovno cranks didn't work out very well with the bolt sheering off. Can you recommend any other relatively inexpensive cranks I should look into?

Any other advice that you would have for someone that will be starting an FM10 build? Thanks!

Hello, I have been looking the FM356 full suspension carbon MTB frame for the last few days and trying to find out any information about it. It seems like it is made by a company called TanTan cycling.

I am looking to purchase this through aliexpress which is sodl by a store called Seraph:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32678613274.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.1a173c0056233R&mp=1

I tried searching this forum to see if anyone had built out this frame but didn't see any completed builds. I saw a thread in the 29er section that a guy had bought a built out a frame from TanTan and had some issues but it looked like it worked out.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this frame or company and has any advice on whether or not this would be a worthwhile purchase.
