Epic Evo Clone

[akuutti247]

I have lost faith in Epic Clone(s bottom bracket area). I don´t want to experience same kind of situation as last summer when the long distance light bike was useless for three months..

I couldn´t resist the temptatation and contacted Hongfu. My e-mail blocked their message but they didn´t give up and used WhatsApp instead. First I thought it was an asian romance scam  , but then realized it was from Hongfu..

Hongfus customer service beats Airwolf 6-0..

FM138 frame came yesterday. It was 1950 grams without axle and shock bolts (with UDH). It feels more robust and has true 120 mm rear suspension..

I found that the rear shock bolts on Epic clone are not the most durable hardware. Ordered these for the linkage when the bolt broke:
