Mine is a small. I think the 385 is the total length extended.
It is 201mm insertion, there must be at least that right?

Edit, actually I want the integra which is 216mm but theres 29mm of mechanism on the bottom so that might be ok near the bed in the seat tube.

Mine arrived this morning. First thing that struck me when i looked in the box was how bloody solid the thing is built.
Next I was worried that it was too big but after a quick bit of measuring on my current bikes and roughly positioning crank to saddle etc I can just about squeeze a reverb with a 5" drop in there. phew!
It's not light though. Maybe I should have gone for the carbon with lefty but I wanted to spend the money on better wheels so held off.
Jesus! Its become like a women's institute coffee morning, this bloody thread.
For gods sake just get out and ride the bloody things, will you? 😀
Here's mine with some mud on.....

Mines a decaf, where's the mud?
Another major bonus of the black paint job is that it doesn't seem to show the mud up. That pic was taken after we'd been grinding through the black boggy slime up on't moors, yet it looks spotless. It wasn't. So I have to clean it even less. I'm liking this bike more and more all the time 😀
It does look nice in black.
Has anyone tried changing the dust caps? Mine are transparent, but I was thinking of running with some black ones*. Also my brake levers are 4mm longer than on my other bike so I’m thinking of swapping everything other than the seat post bolt.
*or green.
Damn…
Hadn’t considered green.
LOL.
Here you go Harry, don't go green man. 😉

Those grenades are the same colour as the frame, they will go nicely with the spokedokeys.
I have the carbon trigger 2 and fancy replacing the double chainrings with a single chainring, putting 11 speed off another bike on at the same time. Are the cranks GXP or PF30 (0mm or 6mm offset?) for a direct mount chainring.
I know they have a PF30 BB, but it seems you can get a PF 30 chainset that is also GXP somehow? This is all new to me, only used Shimano HTII & raceface cranksets in the past..
You'll need a long wrench for some leverage to get tbe crank off the Carbon 2....
Got a 1/2 drive budge bar & 8mm hex socket that will hopefully shift it!
Takes a fair bit of force to snap through the loctite
First ride on my 4 today. Climbs really well in the short travel setting and doesn't wallow like my old Zesty. Got some fiddling to do such as getting rid of the plastic disc behind the cassette, but what a bargain for a grand! I'm glad I didn't dither any longer on making my mind up!
I'm 6'1" and I bought a large. It's a right length but the frame is quite small in standover height so there's quite a bit of post sticking out. Not sure I'd have been happier with the XL though as it's quite a bit longer

They've still got them in stock. They must have got absolutely shed loads of the things 😯
Looks like they have got more in as XL 4's now back in stock
Anyone about 5'7'' and can advise on the sizing of these?
Just changed my order from a large to xl before it was dispatched. I'm right on the border of sizes and think the xl will be better, maybe with a shorter stem. Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm afraid I think it was the last one, a previous customer had changed from xl to L before theirs was shipped.
If a large 3 comes back into stock I'll grab it
On the Carbon 2 you will need a GXP direct mount chain ring. A BB30 one would fit, but the chainline would be slightly out. It is a BB30 crankset with a long spindle. Absolute Black have a nice illustration on their website : http://www.absoluteblack.cc/mtb-chainrings/ (2nd box down on the right)
To agree with above the cranks took alot of force to remove. I thought something was going to break before the bolt finally moved!
Slimjim mine is a 4 not 3. Pauls did say they may get more 3's in a few months time but couldn't give a date.

Demm. But on the bright side I suppose I can get one of those super cheap steel X-Sync rings that sram did.. Anyone need a short spindle direct mount oval ring?

I am 5ft 9 with a 30" inside leg and I was worried when the medium turned up but after setting up the axle centre to saddle height the same as my other bikes I have just over the minimum seatpost showing for a 125mm drop reverb.
It depends on your upper body though and if you want a dropper. You should get away with a 100mm drop post on a medium assuming a leg height of 29" and the reach should be fine as it has a set back post and I could do with a bit more length in the TT but wider bars on the stock length stem should help open up the cockpit a bit.
I would be tempted to say air on the side of caution and got for a medium but best thing to do would be measure the dimensions of your current bike, assuming you are happy with the fit, and compare them.
can anyone advise me.... a friend is looking to get his short-arsed GF a bike for next year.
the problem is, she really is a short-arse. about 155cm short.
would a small still be too big?
Arse! Thought an xl was on the cards again!
Interesting dust cap discussion up there. I noticed that one of the caps on my Dyad has fallen off.
Mine in it's natural environment while I laid on the ground gasping for air in my terribly unfit state.

Update....So my Trigger 4 turned up yesterday after only ordering it Monday night. It does have the clutch mech fitted so 1x10 will be coming.
Size wise I'm 6'1 and ride an 18" Stanton Slackline. Ordered a large which feels fine although the seatpost needs to cut down as it doesn't drop enough due to the frame design.
Lightweight she isn't...around 33lbs with nylon pedals in 3x10 guise, although for £999 I'm not complaining. My Slackline is 31lbs so I'm used to a heavy rig.
pics to follow...
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?
