29er / Re: Ican S3 XC Frame

Interesting choice of tyres. Ican claim 29er to 2.35" so will be interested to see how you go with a 2.4 in there. 27.5x2.4 dissector certainly fits easily though....

I was really worried about tire clearance on this frame and I almost went a different direction because of it.  However, I'm glad I pulled the trigger.  Below are a couple of pictures showing the tire clearance with a 29" rim with a 35mm inner width with a 2.5 maxxis aggressor mounted.  This is the wheel from my all mountain bike just to see if it would work.  I held my breath and was VERY pleased to see the result.

FYI, from the time I placed the order to when it arrived at my house was 15 days!  I thought I would have months to put the build together.  Not so.   :)

For those that have built this frame up, which fork offset did you use?  I have ordered the frame and am just impatiently waiting for it to arrive.  In the meantime, I'm piecing together my build.  This was one of the fundamental questions I have on the build, is the fork offset. 

I'm looking for a 34mm stanchion fork with 120mm travel.

Component Deals & Selection / Uding Fork Reviews??

I came across this fork that seems to check off all my boxes:

Does anybody have any experience with these guys?  Doesn't look like there are any product reviews out there that are easy to find.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon!  It was a difficult choice between this and the Carbonda FM936, but have decided to go this route.  I'm really looking forward to getting it built up. 

Quick question.  When I landed on the iCan website from my phone the other day, a 5% off coupon code popped up.  It indicated that it would be emailed to be, but I have not seen it (even in my spam folder).  Does anybody happen to know what this code is?

Figured it out.  The coupon code is "ORDERBONUS"

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: CS-016 Geometry?

@carbonazza,  I received that same geometry chart from Peter, but he encouraged me to contact you with a specific question.  I am looking for a standover height measurment.  Do you happen to know this information for the 14.5" frame?

Thanks
