29er / Re: FM1002, ICAN P9 or Lexon Spark?

Many thanks for the suggestion on FM1002, looks like there is no contest.

FM1003 seems a bit "too much bike" for me.

Yes my 160mm is a 29er fork.

Thanks for your reply, let me check up on that slack kit you mentioned.

Also, any reason why you built two relatively similar travel bikes? And if you had to choose just one of the two which would you have gone for.

Thanks again!

29er / FM1002, ICAN P9 or Lexon Spark?

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?

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!
Ervine
