ICAN P9 29ER ENDURO BUILD

[Sack87]

Mind sharing how much (approximately) the entire build cost? Thanks!

$3200AUD all up. Would have been closer to $4500 if I didn't resume the fork or rims

[Sack87]

For the rockshox rear shock what size bushes did you order to fit it

No idea, I bought the shock with the bike through them

Almost 2 years have passed since building this up and it's been bulletproof. Many a huge crash and it's only got a few small scars.
Finished 15th then 16th overall in elite class for our state enduro series the last 2 years.

And a pic incase anybody is wondering how strong it is.

Custom 3D printed downtube bash guard (will be available for purchase soon if enough interest

I'd be interested, sounds great! Would you be willing to share your files in case you're not going to print for others?

Gave my bike a bit of an update 2 years on.

Repainted in Grey with black rear end and forks
Added a chain guide with tensioner as the chain was slapping on the swing arm
Swapped out the Super Deluxe for a Marzocchi Bomber coil
Put a 170mm airshaft in the forks, up from 160mm
Ordered custom Lyrik decals then got my mate to design me up some new ones to match.

Now for a PSA. Check your lower swing arms as they may be cracked. Mine looked to be cracked at the thinnest points inside and outside. ICAN are sending me one for free luckily.

Here you go. Print in TPU at 30% infill

Chainstays cracked yeah?

Chainstays cracked yeah?

Can't be 100% sure, it may have been the top layer of epoxy separating at the thinnest points.

Been a while but here's an update on the bike.
- I finished 11th in elite last year for our Enduro Series, just missed out on a top 10 due to a mechanical on the last round.
- Snapped the top tube clean in half due to flat landing from 3m up on a blind jump. (I don't think any carbon bike would have survived)
- Bought another frame from ICAN which was easy as and still beat on it hard every ride
- Swapped to a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 coil fork yesterday and it's like it was made for this bike.

So it's a full coil bike now and the suppleness is amazing yet it still takes the big hits rarely bottoming out.

My opinion is get yourself a Slack-R headset slacker to get the front end down to about 65 degree head angle. I put one on my P9 and it was a great game changer on this bike.

That's the plan. Going from a 51mm offset to a 44mm offset fork has made the front end a bit twitchy.

Might be interested in a slack-r myself to bring my seat angle forward a bit as I've a 180fork on my p9. Which version did ye buy? Is42/is52

IS42 then whatever head stem length is on your size frame

Is42 top but what about bottom?
