XS Ican P1 Build

[elgaucher]

She may have modest needs, but she has a manual machine already

Hehe yep and she built it herself also ! This year she’s really pushing to get better in the sport.

Last season she finally conquered her first black trails and this year only after 2 months of riding she’s got 3 doubles black done

About the nx tho, it’s really in bad shape. Yesterday I had to completely disassemble the derailleur as the clutch spring unwinded somehow and it had no tension on the chains.

Chains was also too small but I had a friend who had a spare that I could buy as least.


She’ll probably get my box three prime9 soon when I myself we’ll upgrade the box two

Bonus pic of her first ride yesterday

Cheers

Wow... impressive. I'm an XC, roadie, gravel guy.
A true bunny hop is still a distant dream, but started to improve my skills too, to not waste my shiny new full suspension

First ride report and here’s it what the girl had to say :

- the bike feel quick and really snappy
- it’s more nervous than the spartan ( that’s to be expected coming from a long low enduro to a less aggressive trail bike

I’ll probably slap a 9point8 slackR on it anyway since the hta need to come down anyway to be modernized!

Cheers

A bit of feedback again.

I’ve fitter maxxis rekon+ 27.5x2.8 and a forekaster 27.5x2.8 on the bike and there’s still room to spare.

Those were just old plus tyres that I had laying around for the girl to test if she would prefer de damp feeling of plus tires.

Btw mesured the bb height on 27.5x2.4 : 315mm so really low

On 2.8 : 335mm , pretty much a safe bet

We’ll probably get a dhr/dhf in 2.8 now

I got specs from ICAN for the headset, they say its;
41.8/30. 15x6x45deg
52/40. 15x7x45deg

So, as yet there's no Slack-R for it which i as shame as that takes this off the table for me at 68.5deg.
Was getting complicated with trying to work out if I could fit megatower chainstay flip chips and run it non boost.

perhaps you can try offset bushings, they helped make my 69.5 deg HTA bike a bit more stable

The STA is already too slack for my plans.
If the slackR becomes available in 42mm, I'll jump on it.

Any chance a 3" tire on 35~40mm ID rim would fit on this frame?

@elgaucher

Hey just came across your post! I've build a P1 myself as well last year.

Thanks for sharing yours and your GFs build!

I'm planning on removing pivot bearings to grease them up as well

What bearing puller do you use or recommend?

Thanks!

Isn't a 3" tyre too wide for a 35-40mm rim?  I would have thought 2.6 or 2.8 would have been the widest that rim would take.

A friend who rides a 496, has 3" tires on 36mm/42mm rims, since 2017

Yeah and I've heard of people throwing 140mm forks on frames designed for 100mm, that doesn't meant its a good idea or safe.

This chart didn't exist, and Peter told me 3" would be ok, so it was safe at that time
