I would also consider taking a carbon hard tail frame as a partial trade if someone was looking to get into a full suspension bike. Im interested in the carbon speed CS-057 frame in a large.

I started out with BMX's in my younger years, though I was never all that good at it.

Good eye emu26. The short answer is yes, I leveled the seat some, and yes there is tons of adjustment in the dropper to angle it down more.
The long answer is that ever since I started riding, I've always preferred the nose of the seat up slightly. When its level I feel like i''m sliding off the seat. Now that i'm starting to ride some more technical terrain and have hit the boys more times then I care to share, I've been slowly angling the seat down to try and get used to it.

The Trek is my brothers fuel 9.8 and i've ridden it many times yes. The geometry is close but not exactly the same. I prefer the ride and handeling of the P8 over his Trek, but the difference is marginal. I suspect if I spent time on it and tweaked the bike to my particular weight and riding style it would feel very similar to the P8. There is more gains to be had in getting better as a rider then the bike itself at this point in my opinion.

29+ & 27+ / Ican P8 Season One Review
« on: October 14, 2018, 12:02:08 AM »
Its been a full season of riding on my newly built P8. I've seen a lot of interest on this forum regarding Ican bikes, mainly the P8 and P9. I figured I would outline my build and give my thoughts on this bike since the off season is beginning here.
Build break down:
-Ican P8, large
-Ican carbon 27.5 wheels, 34mm ID, DH layup
-Schwalbe 2.8 Nobby Nic up front and Rocket Ron out back
-Manitou Mattoc Comp, 140mm fork
-Manitou Mcleod 200x57 rear shock (ends up being approximately 135mm of travel)
-Shimano XT brakes
-Shimano XT derailleur
-Brand X Ascend 150mm dropper post
-Chromag saddle
I rode just over 600km this summer on everything from XC trails, bike parks, single tracks in the mountains and everything in between. The bike rode very well and aside from a couple big jump lines in the mountains, I feel like this bike handled everything I threw at it.
As I'm sure everyone has already read on here, the bottom bracket on this bike is low. With my current setup its 12.75" to the center of the BB un-sagged. It took me 2-3 good rides before I was used to how low the BB was. Many pedal strikes later I finally got the hang of it and learned to time my pedaling. Over extremely chunky climbs I also learned to ratchet up sections where i knew the pedals would hit. After this learning curve it was smooth sailing. The bike rips and handles well in the turns.
This was my first time riding plus size tires. Although I enjoyed them and they had tons of grip, I think the P8 with a set of 29" wheels and 2.35" tires just might be the hot ticket. With 140f/135r travel I never felt like this bike was limited. It pedaled great on the xc trails and handled the mountains just as good. There were a couple large jump lines we did at Kicking Horse Resort that I felt I could have used more travel, but I attribute that to my sloppy riding style and not the bike itself.
All in all, I feel this frame is worth every penny. For someone looking to get into a FS bike for the first time, or just looking to add a mid travel bike to there line up, this is a great option.
Here are a few pictures from this season:

Yes my frame is the original design, I bought it about a year ago.
Lol, yes it was completely my fault. The rear tire was low from sitting in the cold for a couple weeks, I went for a quick ride around the block knowing it was low (10psi). I went to go bunny hop over a curb and goofed, ended up coming down hard on the edge and nicked the wheel. Its still usable if I have a tub in it, but it seeps now when running it tubeless.
I'll try and fix it to keep it as a backup, but after running tubeless I don't want to go back to running tubes. I have the downhill layup wheels from Ican, and they have been rock solid. I have done a week of riding in the mountains, and a few days in a lift access bike park with zero issues.

Im running 27.5x2.8 nobby nic in the front and a rocket ron in the rear.
FYI, Ican is behind right now on their orders/shipments. I placed an order for a replacement rear carbon wheel that I cracked, due to the typhone that hit them they have been slow to get it out.
Ive been dealing with "Melody" at Ican, she is pretty good to deal with. The language berrior is a bit frustrating at times, but overall shes been great to deal with.

12.75" unsagged. Its definitly on the low side, after some practice I have gotten used to it though. Ive learned to ratchet over rocky stuff and to time my pedaling. After riding a low BB Im not sure I would want to go back to something much higher. This bike rails corners and hugs the terrain very well.
With that said, if you were concerned, you could always go to a 29x2.4" tire. That would net you another .25-.5" of BB clearance and put this bike inline with most modern geometries.

Good call on the 140mm fork. Ive been running a 140mm Manitou Mattoc fork with a matching Manitou rear shock and its been a blast. I'll be posting my first season review of my P8 build in the next week or so if your looking for parts overiew/review.
