[Closed] Cannondale Trigger? Bargain

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, [url= http://www.ridemonkey.com/threads/history-of-iscg.226634/ ]some light reading for you.[/url]

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

1x11 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...

The wheels are pretty good they go tubeless very easily. Just pop valves in a pump up. After a few weeks of bashing through rocks there still round and tight. So far they just work and I've not been tempted to switch them.

I am not a fan of the wheels. They are narrower than I would prefer, I think the internal width is 19mm. They make a strange pinging sound when they take hard hits, I think this is the straight pull spokes moving. In the past I have had issues with Mavic wheels and hubs breaking, so slightly biased against them anyway. I find the tyres need too much pressure not to burp on hard cornering, the high pressure is fine in the dry, but gives no grip in the wet. I am currently waiting on some rims to build up new wheels with. Having said all that for just over £200 they are okay.

Anyone want to swap their large Trigger 2 for a medium? Or sell their large?

I have some 650b stans crest wheels I had made up for my old Rush, c'dale lefty front, hope 2 eva back. I can get the spacers to make the rear fit (the trigger) but...

when I put the front wheel in, the disk doesn't line up with the calliper.

Any standards experts out there? Is it just the shimano ICE being 'fatter'? Or the calliper mounts?

The longer travel lefty supermax forks use a different hub spacing 😐 (runs off to double check if there is a converter).
From cannondale "Both a SuperMax or Lefty wheel hub can be used with the SuperMax. The wheel hub must be matched with the correct brake adapter".
So just a dedicated brake mount then.

Thanks Rorschach, doesn't sound too bad.

Not sure what to do - I weighed the Mavic front wheel and tyre, 200 grams more than my Stans with a cheap high roller on. 400g of rotating weight sounds like a big saving

Anyone know what front hubs are compatible then? I was about to order [url= http://www.tftuned.com/lefty-hub/p1761 ]this[/url] but didn't realise that there are different types of lefty.

As was mentioned two posts back that will fit but you'll need a brake adapter.. What you need is a Lefty Supermax hub.

Sorry, I misread that the first time.

I ordered a trigger 4 medium 27.5 on Saturday night. Not many reviews out there.
Found these if anyone is interested. http://www.cannondale.com/nam_en/2015/bikes/mountain/overmountain/trigger-29/trigger-29-3
Do you think paul cycles would set the bike up and send it to me tubeless?
Has anyone strava times had good improvements?
My mate just upgraded from a 2007 giant reign to a YT capta carbon. He is destroying a lot of KOM.

Do you think paul cycles would set the bike up and send it to me tubeless?

Lol I wouldn't say it to his face but he knocked 1 min off a 5 min track. That bike gave him some mega confidence.

simon_g posted this one earlier in the thread.

I feel like I'm approaching light speed on mine..

My in depth summary of my new trigger 4 after a 30 miler on Saturday.
1. It's big (an xl)
2. It's blue
3. It's better than my 12 year old ragged to death hustler.
4. It's cheap
5. My average speed over a 30 mile ride was 9.5 mph which is approximately exactly the same as it always is.

What more do you need to know

what colour dust caps have you opted for?

Mech hanger. I feel uncomfortable rding without a spare, is this it?

Edit yes it is from the cannondale [url= http://media.cannondale.com/media/uploads/manuals/014_Can_OMS_130728_Trigger_en.pdf ]manual here.[/url]

Dustcaps. Well there's a saga. I had two red ones but dropped one down the drain do had to raid my parts bin for a black one.

Having put a new shorter stem on (a bling Thompson as that's all I could find in the right size) the only comments I got about my brand new bike on my first ride were both about the stem. I think says all you need to know about the trigger.

If anyone decides they don't want their XL.....
