Re: My TanTan FM199
Build finished. Need some more adjustment at the shift but it seems to work well. I had just few rides but I'm very happy with it.

Re: Softail titanium MTB 29/27.5+ (all mountain - bikepacking)
What is this intriguing bottle ? It's a hydration hose with bottle cap adaptor so you can use it on PET bottles & etc. I use to have that too, I remember they even have adaptor caps for wide & narrow mouth Nalgene bottles. You just suck it like a long straw. I believe the length of the hose is (unless modified) pretty much the same lenght as those with hydration bladder placed inside a backpack. Here's one... https://sourceoutdoor.com/en/accessories/22-convertube-hydration-system July 01, 2021, 07:47:14 AM |

Re: ICAN P9 build
Build is finally finished, been a long year of getting the parts I wanted together with the shortage on parts/brexit. Needs a few good test runs to see how well/badly I put it together  but it feels lovely, feels quite slack actually, I'll have to see whether ill keep it at 180 or reduce it, I figure the HA is somewhere around 64 at the moment with the increased fork travel and 1 degree offset bushings in the shock (which fixed my issue with play).

Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself!
Hey all, Stumbled across this site looking for 29er frames. Looks like a great site with lots of detailed info. Sometime in the fall I'm hoping to build up an xc 29er and just gathering info in the meantime. I've built up a franken-chiner so to speak last year. Wanted a carbon 29" bmx cruiser for fun and didn't want to just go buy an SE bike so I bought a BXT 046 frame and have been happy as can be with it since.  Looking forward to the next build.

Re: How to post a picture
Is there someway to do something about the size of the pics that are getting uploaded at the moment and the way they appear on the screen. Using a windows PC here and the thumbnails that get dropped into the post are too small to see any real detail. Clicking on the pic takes them to their full uploaded size which in many cases is 3 to 4 times the size of the sites viewing panel which obviously means you don't get to see the whole pic at once and the only other option s to click on the attachment which is then downloaded to my PC, not something I want to be doing on a regular basis.

Re: New Wheel Day - Elite Wheels BWT Disc
Apparently reduced drag, especially at different yaw angles, and less buffeting during cross-winds relative to standard toroidal shaped aero wheels. Other knock on effects, the shallower areas use less material because they are shallower and apparently because less reinforcement is necessary resulting in thinner walls in the shallow areas, resulting I weight savings.... apparently Haven't seen any independent studies, so it could all be baloney.

ICAN P1 Trail-27.5'' (Chinese Carbon) 2021 Frame Build!
Hello! I wanted to share my experience with building up an Ican P1 Frame with my fellow MTBs. For those who are thinking about buying an Ican P1 frame and want to know the ins and outs of the building process and road bumbs along the way. I've done a lot of reading on mtbr and Chinertown threads, and very few posts about the P1 frame. There's some posts about the P8 frame about 3-4 years ago (2017-2018). Ican from what I read changed the name of that frame from P8 to P1 probably around 2019 from a post that emu26 posted on Chinertown titled "P8 Geometry Change: Now known as P1." This is my first build so I'm super excited to build it up! I ordered my frame in March 2021 and received it finally in June 2021. Been ordering parts along the way, and have everything together This is what I have: Frame- Ican P1 (2021) Fork- DVO Diamond D1 (27.5) Rear Shock- TBD Drivetrain Shimano XT (2021): Bottom Bracket- BBMT-8000 (68/73mm) Chainring- XT 34T Crankarms- XT M8120 (Boost 148mm rear spacing)- 170mm Chain- XT M8100 w/ QL 12-speed Cassette- XT M8100 10x51 Rear Derailleur- XT M8100 (1x12) Shifter- M8100 Shifter I-spec (right rear) Brakes (Front and Rear)- XT M8120 (4 piston brakes) Rotor (Front and Rear)- XTM800- 180mm Dropper Post- Crank Brothers Highline 7 (2020) Dropper Remote- One Up (I-spec EV) Wheelset- XT M8000 (27.5) Tire (front)- Maxxis Minion DHR II (27.5 x 2.30) Tire (rear)- Maxxis Aggressor (27.5 x 2.30) Stem- E-Thirteen Base 35 stem (50mm) Handlebar- E-Thirteen Plus Handlebar Grips- Ergon Ge-1 (Blue) Seat- Charge Spoon Seat ----------- $5,000- Total cost of all parts (including some bike building tools) I bought 90% of parts brand new, the other parts I bought used from Pinkbike Why I selected the Ican P1: 1) Great reviews about it on forums and Youtube (Brad of Crown Performance Bicycles does great video reviews on Youtube of the Ican P9) 2) The frame can be used a 29'er and 27.5 (I liked the versatility of that) 3) Reasonable priced- I paid about $900 out the door (after taxes and delivery) I will let you all the challenges I've had as well along the way. Will keep posted with photos and commentary Will continue to update my build! Stay tuned! Cheers, Crankydad July 16, 2021, 02:45:00 PM |
