Title: ICAN P1 Build?
Post by: ryapad on July 05, 2020, 12:43:57 AM

Hi everyone, I 'm thinking of building a chinese carbon frame. Admittedly, I'm nervous about a carbon MTB, not to mention one from a smaller chinese brand. I guess my questions are 1. What are the chances of a chinese carbon frame failing under reasonably rough trail/enduro riding and 2. Has anyone built up a P1 yet?

Thanks, Ryan

Nobody had his bike exploding between their legs while riding  ;)
A crack here and there, in rare occasions, generally crashing or doing something stupid, like any branded frame.

Buying from a seller that has some reputation here increase your chances of many happy rides with your bike.
And if you feel for it, Aliexpress sellers with a good feedback maybe as reliable too.

ICAN is one of the older and bigger chinese open mold brands.  You can't go wrong with ICAN.  I believe they manufacturer for bigger names also
