I cracked my Jekyll (as reported earlier in this thread) the warranty replacement 2016 frame arrived last September but I’d already bought a replacement frame by them.
I’d lost faith in the Jekyll due to it cracking and also not really gelling with it. I’ve advertised the frame & shock since then on Pinkbike/Stw/Gumtree/EBay for £550 and not had any interest, I’m not selling for less than that as it’s pretty much just giving it away so I’m building it back up mainly because I actually like the new 2018 Jekyll and I’m hoping mine cracks again so I can get one as a warranty return!
Hi guys,
I’m tempted by the current offer at Paul’s for the Trigger Carbon 2 but am being put off by the fact the DYAD has been discontinued. Do you think getting the shock serviced/replaced will become a problem?
Would I be better off looking for something a bit more conventional but lower spec at the same price point?
Also, has anyone cracked a carbon frame and, if so, what did it take to do it?
I have a Trigger 4 – couldn’t go 203 at the back as it will foul the non-drive chainstay.
Settled on 180 0r 185 – can’t remember which! Plenty of power even with SLX.
Anybody with a carbon 27.5 model know which bearings I need? time to sort the creaking out, but the interwebs is inconclusive on what bearings are needed on a 27.5 carbon frame…
Changing the mavic crosroc wheels on my trigger at last. Got the rear hope enduro on and just waiting for delivery of a Boone Supermax hub to build up the front 🙂
Just noticed a bit of play developing in rear end of my Trigger 4…hoping it’s a relatively easy fit and thinking most likely cause are the shock bushings rather than any bearings.
Anyone had to replace bushings/bearings? Easy fix?
Secondly – rode 2 mates’ bikes this very briefly this weekend which both had Pikes up front – they feel much nicer than my Fox 32s…anyone else swapped or is it worth tinkering with pressure to make them feel nicer?
Trigger performing well at les gets. Had a nosey in the cannondale support tent for the passport du solei. The new triggers and jekyls look really nice. Very tempted to get a jekyl.
Very nice and a great price. My Alloy Trigger 29 1 got nicked two weeks ago and I’m well miffed as it was a great long distance cruiser in short travel mode. 👿

All the bearings died on the back end of mine after about 2,500km. £184 to sort at my LBS.
Money well spent because I for one haven’t got the time, tools or skill.
My usual day out of the studio involved a bit of work on the ‘puter till it got too warm, then a spot of bike fettling in the run up to a lunchtime cider.
AS I fiddled with the 2015 Jekyll I bought via this thread I realised just how much fun and how little grief I’ve had on this bike.
For my mixed abilities it is truly perfect AND it has a Lefty as an ice-breaker. The low initial cost savings have been offset by buying LightBike wheels, Easton bars, Hope V4 brakes, XT 1×11 and fitting a decent length Reverb but it always works and covers a wide range of usage.
Thanks again to DBCooper, Pauls and of course Cannondale.

Nice bike that, had timing and finances been different I would have been sorely tempted and the colour scheme similar to my ’04 Jekyll wouldn’t have alerted anyone to the change!
