Just thought you guys might like to see this. It looks like Evolve Bikes out of Canada just released a new bike. It does come with a Cane Creek shock and a lifetime warranty though.

Yep, those Cane Creek shocks really are expensive!

It's like buying a counterfeit bike but in reverse. Is that even possible??

They are being a little deceptive with the head angle, 66.1 is the spec on the general drawing and it's 66.9 on a more detailed drawing of a medium frame and that is all with 571mm ATC fork, not a 160mm. That's kinda far off from 65, more like 68... Cane creek 40 headset, I thought the P9 was like the P8 and could not use press in offset headset? Am I missing something? I did not miss that the axle to crown dimension is strangely missing from the site 

Here is the detailed drawing I mentioned earlier.

Spot on there.

I have just ordered an 18mm crown race to slacken things out.....

Rideczech, fill me in on this if you would please!!  Can I use this on my P8?  Is it an offset bearing for the headset?  If so this is news to me.

Nah....It's just a deeper crown race to lift the front of the bike a little as the Sweep HLR's are a little short axle to crown.....

and where did you find one in the 18mm variety?  I would love to get an 18mm or 20mm crown race for my P8.  Slacken it out another degree or so!

This should do it.

I searched and searched for such a thing and wasn't able to find it!

It certainly opens up the fork selection for the P9 quite a bit! Too cool, wonder why they aren't more popular like shock offset bushings.

This is what I got....

Thanks guys!  I searched all over and couldnt find a darn thing!

Guys,

Does this frame use a normal crankset(chainline 49mm), or a boost version(chainline 52mm)?

Thanks

The BB width is 73mm, I used a 3mm sram eagle boost offset chainring and standard 68/73mm GXP BSA BB with no spacers. I think that means you'd want the 52mm chainline, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank ypu!
Yes, it's boost with 52mm chainline.

When ordering from Ican how much did you guys pay?
Would a 200x57 shock work on the P9? Does anyone know how much travel a 200x57 gives on a P8?
