Re: Ican P9 build Gonna crash your post with my P9 - cept i built it 29er style - Large, 5'11.
1) I'm surprised you found a 210x60mm shock. I had the same issue with the Super Deluxe delays so i just said screw it.
2) I tuned my whole setup at whistler bike park and this thing is too unreal. I love it.

I came from a 2016 Reign 27.5 Medium which was smaller and slacker.  I am very happy with with the 66.5 HA with my current setup from riding a Norco c9.1 Large, my issues was that the wheelbase was so long from the slackness+29, i couldn't handle it properly. Turns in and out of berms was on the Norco required a lot of body english, overall just felt it required much more finesse than required. With this p9 as a slightly steeper HA - 66.5ish, it felt right - agile like the Reign, but much longer and much faster.


My Specs:

DVO Diamond Boost - 150mm (currently at 66.5 degrees HA - 160mm would make it 66 degrees)
DVO Topaz - 210x55 (22mm bushing top and bottom, 150mm travel)
GX Eagle Drivetrain
Magura Trail Sport Brakes (203/180)
Spank Oozt 345 Trail CX Ray - DHR II 2.4 WT DC
Giant 150mm Dropper (2017 - internal routing)
SDG Fly Mtn Saddle
Answer SL 780mm Bar
Husselfelt 40mm Stem
Lizardskin frame and Chainstay Protector
OneUp Composite Pedals

Re: Ican P9 build Hey rideczech... Hope you don't mind if I upload these pics directly to the forum.. bike is too sweet for anyone to miss it. Great build, man. If I were to do a build right now I would most likely build it pretty much exactly as you have it. Only thing I might change would be going with the p8 instead of the p9, not sure.

can you post a picture with your hub with a velcro strap on it?

Here you go... Fuzzy side in.  My hubs are always shiny, even when the rest of the bike is covered in dirt. :-)

Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread.

Stumbled back here...Long road to get here. Initially bought frame from a member her with Peter honoring warranty. Ended up going thru 2 frames with cracking in the dreaded seatpost area. 3rd frame took a while to get to me due to production as per Peter. So far this current frame has noticeable reinforcement in the trouble areas. Much thicker for sure.

Re: Ican P9 build Hey guys first of all I'm pretty much new to the mountain bikes, I bought my first bike without checking the current trends and ended up wanting a new bike sooner than I expected, anyway I read your posts and was motivated to make my build too and well since I didn't know much about it, I heavily based upon your builds ;D

Dvo diamond 150mm boost
Dvo topaz 210x55mm 22x8mm mounting hardware
Slx groupset
Slx 30t front, sunrace m80 11-50t back
Kmc x11 118 links
27.5+ 2.8 hrII front, reckon back mounted on famous icans 40mm
Hope hubs, hope disc brakes 180mm front n back
Hope tech3 e4 brakes
Fusion-x manic dropper, raceface aeffect seat
Raceface sixc bars, 35mm funn stem, answer stein grips
Various cheap chinese parts

Some build notes:
The rear shifter cable goes great under the rear shock pivot
The dropper cable can be completely stealth.
The rear brake hose can enter through the impossible port next to the shock, I used a dremel to remove the border there such that the hose wouldn't get cut.
Chainline is not great with 50t so I changed the bb spacer from drive to non drive side.
Medium cage rear derailleur works fine for such a big rear gear.

I've tested my bike now and I still need to get it dialed a bit but I think I'm getting there, bike climbs very well (and the 30t helps a lot!), rear brake still needs more bleeding and the wheels needs less pressure they are 13 front and 15 back right now maybe 1 psi less each side will do it.

I already have some future plans:
change front chainring to 32 or 34t
change the front disc brake to 203mm
travel change to 160mm, maybe add spacer crown race to improve HA
build 29 wheels for it
paint it rad ibis hd3 blue and red style
print dvo red stickers (i have the svg files if anyone wants them)

As a final note I started this project without having any prior knowledge of how to build a bike (or wheels for that matter) and it wasn't as hard ad I thought although some mechanical experience is very recommended, I did learn a lot however, wheels were difficult to get right. Thanks for your build logs without them I wouldn't have made it.

Re: Ican P9 build I love my P9.

The suspension is very sensitive, and with the Mcleod on the "closed" IPA, it pedals quite well. It climbs very well, just my legs&lungs are not up to the task.

The geometry is comfortable and the ride is "nimble".

The fixed seatpost with offset is what I had at home. For my home trails I don't really need a dropper, but I will move soon to Switzerland and thus, dropper will be advantage. I will use on bikeparks.

Handling is great. I only have 3 days in the dirt and it has been a lot of trail riding, on twisty slow lines. So far, so good. I love the endless feel of the 160mm Revelation up front.

I installed a protection kit from dyedbro.com and it gives a very nice look for my taste.

I still have to cut the brake lines to correct length, and remove a bit of steerer tube and change the spacer, I believe it's still too tall on the front.

Re: 14" 26er FM-M001 build Well got it finished.  She wanted to start riding before I had a suspension fork, so is riding it now with the rigid (which I bought for CX season.)

She likes it so much that now I have the Reba sitting on a shelf waiting for a moment when I can take the bike apart and trim the steerer tube down.

The Sprinkle Donut steerer tube cap and the purple nipples on the rims were a big hit.

No weight or cost data ATM as I was lazy on record keeping and the 27.5 wheels that are on there now are heavy AM wheels that I bought as spares for the 2 Kona Full Squish bikes that we have.  I have a set of 26" Crest hoops that are drilled 24H so I could lace them up triplet (16:8) and make a really light wheelset.  But she fits the 27.5 just fine and the Stans rims are white which won't work as well aesthetically (and its all about the looks at this point.)

I did go with a Praxis BB so I could run the Trailcraft cranks.  The bummer and delay with that option was the nut plate laid up in the bottom bracket shell extended too far into the hole to allow the outer sleeve for the Praxis bracket to go through.  About a 30min with a small grinder wheel on a mini dremel tool took that down with plenty of threads left on the nut plate and screw to hold the access cover on the bottom.

(And NO - I didn't send her out without any brake discs!  Snapped these pics before I got them installed and just haven't taken any pics of the complete/complete bike.)
