Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
Your wife is the same height as mine. I recently ordered an Ican P1 in size XS for her. It is one of the few full suspension frames I could find made in a size for people in that height range. The small in the AM831 would be really big for her, since it is like a medium meant for 5’5” and up. I don’t think the wheel size change would help much except for stand over height. If you drop the tire size to a non plus size then pedal strike might be a problem (maybe use short cranks?). +1 here for the ican p1 in xs , my fiancé is 5” and I ordered her a xs Also to comeback on the AM831 , is anyone got update on how’s the production going ?

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
This is my first build. I have a rear shock all ready to go but is there any way to know what shock mounting hardware we will need? Or do we need to wait to get the frame to measure it all? I have noted 8*20 / 8*30 but I can’t remember from where I got that. Someone might want to 2x check May 26, 2021, 12:07:31 PM |

Re: Brain is mangled.... What derailleur hanger????
The plan is to go sram 11speed (although im intregued by the box components wide 9 speed just to be different) but as everything practically everywhere is out of stock or on pre order for 11 speed groupsets, im just looking to use my existing deore groupset to be back out riding even if i have to buy a new derailleur which isnt the most cost effective plan but i just want to ride it now I have a prime 9 at the moment... If you want to go for it I'd say , order right now what you think you'll brake lol. With your name , I'm pretty sure you're French Canadian like me lol , Am I right ? Last weekend I broke my chains , no biggie box three chains are like 25 usd right ... comes to shipping here to canada ... cheapest option is 72$ for shipping ... a chain lol Found a box two chains on ebay for 65$ cad but still way overpriced and it's not coming here until mid june.. Was the same last year when I broke the derailleur , was actually cheaper to order it from CRC then directly from Box themself , makes no sens to me May 26, 2021, 03:44:49 PM |

XS Ican P1 Build
Hey there ! Since not a lot of people documented on building a p1 , I decided to start my own thread on it. Little background, last year during the pandemic, my girlfriend really started enjoying Riding. Now, with this issue of bike shortage, the only nice used bike we were able to get was a 2017 devinci spartan small. This bike is a beast by the way, way overkill for the kind of riding my girlfriend does. The only issue with it is that my GF is 5" and that small is just way to big. So many time I've seen her just "jump out of saddle to bail on something because she just can't dab on that bike or even sit over the top tube. This year , she decided she like bike more then enough to treat herself with an XS size bike and with the bike shortage still going full speed, we opted to build an Ican P1 with most of the part from the Devinci. Here's what the build will look like : - Ican P1 XS UD Matte - Fox Float DPS 200x51 - RockShox Yari 150mm (might drop to 140mm if adding an angleset or offset bushing as the HTA of the P1 is kinda meh to me) - Mach1 Trucky 650B wheelset, 30mm inner width, 32h spokes, Tubeless ready, pretty budget friendly - DHR2 2.4wt / DHF 2.5wt - 11speed NX drivetrains w/ a 28T chainring from nsbillet (such a good way to upgrade an 11-42T cassette range to have a better granny gear for her) - Sram Level T brakes w/ 180mm rotor ( At 105lbs, she's even complaining that those are still too powerful...) - Devinci 45mm stem - Raceface Atlas bar - CrankBrother Stamp 1 pedals - PNW loam grips - Ks Lev Integra 100mm So far so good , frame looks in good shape. Now it's just a question of waiting on the parts we couldn't transfer from the donor to arrive than the fun begin  Cheers ! May 27, 2021, 04:51:56 AM |

Re: XS Ican P1 Build
Test fitted more parts tonight manly checking for rear tire clearance. Max tire size is 27.5x2.8 even on a Xs frame. I’ve put my own rear wheel that has a 2.4wt on a 30mm inner width rim and there’s plenty of space left. Frame standover is perfect for the wifey at 5” / 26” inseam. More to come when parts arrive !

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
I'm not sure which i'd prefer more, lol. Getting a tracking number and impatiently waiting for it to get here, or just one day a big box on the door step? I would prefer the tracking so I can be at home the day it arrives, had my fair share of stolen packages sadly June 07, 2021, 09:26:57 AM |

Re: XS Ican P1 Build
So build is mostly done. Waiting on a new shifter cable as the old one is too short. Internal routing is as worst as I remember, the guide don’t help at all imo is just a question of poking around and having a small small pair of tweezer to pull on cable to exit correctly. I’m surprised on the quality of the wheels for the price. Velomine has really good deals for budget alloy rims. We’ll see later how they hold tubeless. I’ve bought a Granite design aux water bottle but I’m not sure yet if a 500ml would fit, the frame is extra extra small afterall lol We’ll report this weekend on the first ride how it went !

Re: The shiney new AM831 Group Buy thread!
Do you think the Sram Dub will be as good as the shimano? I'm probably buying the Sram GX Eagle Carbon crankset. I have a pf92 sram dub on my Commencal right now, so far so good , no creaks June 09, 2021, 11:13:31 AM |

Re: XS Ican P1 Build
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 June 11, 2021, 07:12:30 AM |
