Re: Ican S3 XC Frame
Damn, I just found some quality issues with my frame while I was wrapping protective films on it. Looks like normal unfinished carbon. Frame would cost a whole lot more if you wanted it to be finished perfect. I'd send it. June 16, 2021, 03:02:54 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Placed my order May 5th, frame was shipped June 15th, arrived at my door in Chicago, June 24th via DHL Express. Wing said they had BSA-L-Normal Weight frames in stock and that the painting took longer than expected. Obviously I spent my entire weekend building up Initial Impressions -Cable guides are directional, one is larger for brake hose and one is smaller for cables -Rear Linkage is carbon -Bolt hardware is cheap feeling -No Internal cable Guides -Cutout at the bottom in the BSA 73 bottom bracket is a bit small -No large removeable section at bottom of down tube -Size feels good for me at 5'11" -Oneup V2 150 can be slammed to the collar -Some Pivots were dry, some werent -Paint was chipping near some pivot surface -Optional headset has good bearings but feels cheap and doesn't have seals, would probably work fine -Cables can be routed under the shot but may cause brake bleeding problems -Can't go full lock on Deluxe RT3 because lever hits the frame on lock position -One chip at the front of the frame Ride Impressions -Reach is a little more aggressive than my trail but nothing uncomfortable -Head angle is slacker than I was used to -51mm Offset fork wasn't too quick steering -Hasn't cracked on me yet (have taken it off some kickers, drops, some tech, maybe a crash or two) -Have hit my cranks a couple times (175mm) -No noticeable pedal bob, maybe after a long ride when the shock was hot -Seat height feels fine -Dropped seat is just right Still messing around with my suspension settings. Shock is from a Giant Anthem and it feels good. Took a bunch of video during assembly and plan to do a build thread and a LoveMTB style video series. July 15, 2021, 09:12:29 PM |
