If I decide to go tubeless on the trigger 4 do I just need to install the supplied valve and some sealant or will I need rim strips as well?

alpin – they’re a really compact frame design. They’ve got bags of standover. Its has to be worth a punt on the small. I reckon she’d be reet. They’ve still got the 3’s left in small, which are stupendously good value

longmover – wheel rims are already taped, so yep, jut add sealant and valves and you’re good to go.

Thanks mttm, I will probably do that next week then.

I’ve joined the ‘dale love-in. Just ordered a Jekyll Carbon 2 to go with my 2013 Alloy Trigger 1 that I got from Paul’s last year. I’m feeling the Lefty love. Even got one on my Bad Boy.

cheers binners…..

she’s just got back to me insisting that she is 160cm high.

maybe with a shorter stem it may fit, but suppose she could shift the frame on for next to no loss if it doesn’t fit….

eddiebaby, I’ve been telling a mate the Jekyll Carbon 2 is a killer deal – he’s a bit less sensible than me, I think it’d suit him. Any idea of the weight?

I tubeless’d up the Mavics last night, went well with a compressor

Took my shiny new Trigger 4 out for its maiden run today, ended up extremely impressed. I was worried about my choice of size (I’m 5’11” and plumped for the medium) but apart from feeling a tiny bit cramped on the climbs it fits great, certainly nothing that can’t be solved with a new stem. For anyone sitting on the fence on this one, take a punt. It’s one hell of a bike for a grand!

Xl Carbon 2 running tubeless but otherwise stock weighs in at 13.5kg on my bathroom scales.

Hammerite…… Those woods look very familiar, is it Chicksands?

Warning to other people like me who don’t pay enough attention… if your going 1x setup the BCD of the new shimano cranks is 96 NOT 104 (apparently they changed it for more efficiency for 650b & 29ers)

Not much choice of 96 BCD narrow wide chainrings around either

So my new Jekyll arrives next Wednesday with carbon cranks. What those little protective booty things called? I think they may be a good call.

Ordered! Thanks. I get a bit nervous entering booty into a search engine 😯

The spec on the Trigger 4 says ISCG 03 – wtf? Never heard of it, will ISCG 05 fit?

Yup, obviously ISCG has to have two standards(!); ISCG05 and ISCG03 (also know as ISCG old).
They are different sizes so they aren’t compatible. They do make ISCG03 to ISCG05 adapters. Can mess with the spacing somewhat though..

To be fair- the reason there are two standards is because different FS designs would fowl on 03 so they made 05 for them.

Ahh OK 03 is the same as OLD then?

Yes, some light reading for you.

aaaand….

500 😉

Very observant Bigbloke, spot on.

Does anyone else’s shock sound like there is a ping pong ball in the frame when it is in Elevate mode?

Thought it was a cable at first, but if you sit still on the bike and then bounce the suspension up and down, it comes and goes as you flick the switch between modes.

Hammerite, it’s my local spot. 🙂

Nope. Silent

It did squeak a lot until I put silicon grease of the sag indicator

Try emptying the shock of air and reset the pressures again. I found mine made noises if the negative was too close to the positive pressure

1×11 from me other bike, XTR trail brakes, 30T narrow wide, KS southpaw lever (waste of money, next time I’m gutting an old shifter) and some meatier rubber (tubeless).

Anyone fancy a Jekyll but without the fork? I only need a set of Pikes but I’m almost tempted to buy the full bike…

Schwiiiing!

Can anyone confirm what versiom i-spec brakes and shifters these bikes come with?

Any idea on weight catfish?
The more I see that version the more I weaken..

27.6lbs

Ta.

Chunky that even looks good, I thought it was an awkward looking bike but that looks great.

Photos don’t do it justice. Much nicer and beefier in the flesh.

What length stem do they come with?
Have just ordered a Trigger 3 in small for my short-arse friend. Hopefully it’s small enough…

alpin, the Trigger 4’s come with a 60mm C4 stem, (at least mine did). Looking at pics of the Trigger 3’s they also seem to come with a 60mm stem, although a few people have mentioned an 80mm stem, so might be pot luck on the bike you get.

cool… could gain 30mm there. she’s 160cm high, so as compact a frame as poss is needed.

My xl came with 80 mm stem. Not much choice out there for replacements so ended up with a Thompson x4 45mm at great expense.

Anyone got any more feedback on the shock performance? Noticing any difference over a standard ‘push’ shock?

It looks quite a chunky shock, does it protrude much either side of the frame?

The shock feels great, it’s got a good deal of support, pedals well and I’ve not noticed it sticking out (width wise). The short travel mode is fantastic as well. I wasn’t expecting that much but have been really pleasantly surprised with the ride quality, I prefer it to the Cove Hustler that I had. Really amazing for the money 🙂

Trigger 2 owners, what’s the crossroc wheels like? With the euro beeing nearly 1.4 to the pound im tempted to get a pair for £205…
