29er / FM1002, ICAN P9 or Lexon Spark?
« on: October 12, 2022, 05:47:34 PM »
Hi everyone,
I am contemplating building a new long travel bike (trail to enduroish). Was narrowing it down to 3 potential options:
FM1002 - Seems to be a crowd favourite here but it's shock is a bit of an awkward 205x60?
https://www.carbonda.com/mountain/full-suspension/134.html
ICAN P9 - Only goes up to 2.3",

Lexon Spark (2022) - Only goes up to 2.35", looks like it's a pressfit BB rather than BSA

I currently have a 160mm fork and a 200x57mm shock. Was hoping I can just transfer over these but looks like only the spark can take the shock.
Any advice between the three frames?
Thanks!
