Ican P8 Season One Review

<< < (2/3) > >>

Janz99:
The Trek is my brothers fuel 9.8 and i've ridden it many times yes.  The geometry is close but not exactly the same. I prefer the ride and handeling of the P8 over his Trek, but the difference is marginal.  I suspect if I spent time on it and tweaked the bike to my particular weight and riding style it would feel very similar to the P8. There is more gains to be had in getting better as a rider then the bike itself at this point in my opinion.

Totally agree !  :)

Thanks Janz.

A question for you if I may on your saddle alignment. It looks to be nose up in the first pic and fairly level in the second picture, did you level it off a bit or is it just the angle the photo was taken from?  If you didn't level it and it is actually nose up, is there enough adjustment left in your dropper post to level the saddle?

Janz99:
Good eye emu26.  The short answer is yes, I leveled the seat some, and yes there is tons of adjustment in the dropper to angle it down more. 

The long answer is that ever since I started riding, I've always preferred the nose of the seat up slightly.  When its level I feel like i''m sliding off the seat.  Now that i'm starting to ride some more technical terrain and have hit the boys more times then I care to share, I've been slowly angling the seat down to try and get used to it.

emu26:
Did you ride BMX or road bikes first?  I started with road bikes, actually never ridden bmx, so have always preferred a level saddle.

Thanks for the reply, I'm feeling more and more confident about pulling the trigger on V2 of this frame, just have to find the money first.
