E-Bike Frames & Builds / Re: AMflow on Alibaba
« on: July 26, 2026, 12:38:26 PM »
I received the bike a month or so ago. It works great. The only issue I might have is there is talk in forums that this frame is not really made by Amflow. I don't know this as a fact.

Chivot frame geometry
  It looks more like a Trailcat.

29er / P9 shock mounting hardware
« on: July 04, 2026, 12:07:35 PM »
I am putting back together an older Ican P9 frame. I am missing the rear shock mounting bolts. Are they still available? Or are there substitutes parts that will work? Thanks.

I have a Carbon Pro ordered. It hasn't arrived yet. So far they seem quite professional. I should have it in a couple of weeks.

29er / Any new trail bikes?
« on: December 09, 2025, 10:04:06 AM »
Are there any DW Link trail bike frames in the works? It seems like here sn't anything new for many years. I have an FM1002 and A FM909. I like them. But are there any new takes on the trail bike style?

Fat Bikes / Re: Modern geometry 27.5 fat bike frame
« on: December 09, 2025, 09:53:03 AM »
Looking for something that could compete with the Fezzari King’s Peak, which has a 75deg seat tube, 67deg head tube, 27.5x4.5 clearance and internal dropper post compatibility. Those numbers don’t sound very “modern” by 2024 MTB standards but a hardtail fat bike needs middle of the road geometry for snow riding anyway.

I  want something more playful than my Framed Alaskan Carbon (V1/26”) which with a rigid fork has a 69 HA/73 STA. Add a suspension fork and that seat tube is really leaning back. Reach is hilariously short and this results in funky, tanky handling.

I’m not aware of any unbranded 27.5 fat frames other than the ICAN SN05 and that doesn’t have updated geometry (68 HA, 73 STA, 433mm reach in size Large).

I put a 1.7 degree slackener on my Ican FS fatbike which completely changed how it feels. 120mm forks and slack head gets it to around 66 degree or so. The seat tube angle is still old school. But it isn't bad. And the bonus is putting 29" x 3.0 wheels/ tires on it in the summer as a spare bike.

Never noticed this with mine. Probably nose diving is from lack of speed over a drop. Pick up the pace.

"Ican P9 has my vote" . . . I have a P9 that I built a few years back. I liked it much better after using a SlackR head angle slackener. A total game changer for that bike.

I am wondering if there are any new trail bike designs in the making this year?

I have had great luck with Nextie wheels.

My bad it's ~571, editted my last post.
In your situation I agree the 170 Zeb might affect steep climbing.
The 160mm lyrik is a great fork, I wish 170 was still an option.
If you are lightweight and do a lot climbing, maybe go with lyrik.
I have a Lyric Ultimate 170mm. The bike climbs and handles great. Seat angle difference between 60mm and 170mm can be made up by sliding seat 1/4" forward. But probably not necessary.

29er / 180 mm rotor on a Carbonda fm909 ?
« on: June 20, 2023, 04:56:40 PM »
Can I use a 180mm rotor on a Carbonda fm 909? I am trying to do just this with Shimano XT brakes. And a 180mm post mount adapter to space the caliper properly. The mounting bracket of the caliper hits the frame with the 180mm adapter in place. Has anybody had this problem?
