I also noticed a strange clicking, tapping sound when pedalling under load. Similar to the cracking sound of a slightly loose saddle. Sounds like it's coming from the cranks, BB, or thereabouts. Any ideas. Does it seated or standing and only on inclines where there's more effort through the pedals.
Let me know if you fix this, is sounds similar to my noise, which so far I've put down to the spokes settling in. First 'proper' ride tomorrow so will see if it goes away.
Probably not this but I had a creak, so removed the rear shock, still creaked, was the brake hose rubbing under the BB!
Also, had a rock cut the rear brake hose just after setting off at the top of Walnar Scar.
I made sure my cables were clear on the frame already so I don't think it's that. Also long since removed the sag indicator. Checked and the cranks seem tight. I noticed that the end cap on my pedals were a little loose, especially the drive side. It's too wet to see if that was the problem, and I'm about to drive to France leaving the MTB in the garage. I guess I'll report back in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the suggestions. I did also cable tie my dropper cable to the little boss on the tube just below where it goes into the frame. Odd that it only happens under power though. Seems like a BB, crank, pedal, or chairing issue. Happens on either chain ring which would seem to rule that out.
Took the stickers off my Crossroc wheels today, looks much better IMHO..Too gaudy by half..
Might take the stickers off mine theyre getting tatty and peeling where theyve taken scrapes.
I like gaudy.

Fitted offset shock bushes to my Jekyll tonight - will report back.
I wasnt loving my Jekyll after the initial new bike love wore off, it was pushing the front a lot on loose fast corners with no sign of the back breaking free (tyres are now 2.3 DHF & HR2), it also still felt a bit 'flippy floppy' into corners as though once you started leaning in it then fell over into the corner. I was also not nearly catching my pedals enough compared to previous bikes which isnt a good sign.
Ordered a set of brass offset bushes and also dropped the sag to 40% rather than 35ish (centre of the white area on the indicator)
Has made a huger difference - the BB is sitting lower which has stopped the flopping feeling and the both tyres now break traction at the same point. Its also more stable at speed through rock gardens.
All in all worth doing.
Pretty much the same with the trigger once you have fitted offset bushings.
where is the best place to get offset bushings and are they easy to fit on the Dyad?
Hi all.
My dyad. Still Seems very stiff, been through all different pressures but still the shaft doesn't ever bottom out only ever see about 2" of the shaft.
Could it be stuck.
I was thinking if I empty all the air pressure out would this show if the shaft is somehow stuck in the chamber. I presume then it should move freely showing all the travel it is supposed to have.
Or would this just totally fu**k it up??

Got mine from here;
http://www.offsetbushings.com/
I just put Cannondale Jekyll/DYAD in the frame/shock box when ordering and they were bang on size wise. You need a standard shock bushing tool but other than 10 minutes of a job.
Thorpey, I got mine from Offsetbushings.com Jeron is excellent. They are easy to fit knock the old ones out, push in a new sleeve the insert the bushing.
Zaskar. It's fine to extend the shock. Just empty the negative. Then the pos. Then start filling the negative. Until it's all the way out.
It says in the inductions not to put more air in the negative chamber, but it doesn't do any damage,only hampers performance.
I've never bottomed out either. It's suppose to be a very progressive shock and therefor very difficult to bottom out.
You won't see 140 or 160mm of piston. Only about 3 inches so you might not have an issue
Crazymac. Give it a try later thanks for the advise
Tempted to try the offset bushings but did you guys try playing with neg shock pressures first?

Been a while since I posted any pics so here's mine as its looking now, with CrossMax XLs and 150mm
KS Lev dropper. Just need some new flat pedals as these are falling apart.

I love the trigger 2. Really wish I could have spent 2 grand on one.
Here is my trigger 4. Quite a few upgrades now.
Single ring setup with sunrace mx3. Worth it
Continental mountain Kings. Worth it
125 reverb. Worth it.
Superstar tactic wheels 23 internal and 200 grams lighter a wheel. Worth it.
Carbon haven handlebar. Feels like a waste and doesn't seem to add anything.
My trails are getting really muddy now so I've just ordered a 2.35 hans dampfs.
Tried them on my mates bike today and the grip was out of this world. Actually made the steering heavy.
That looks great and good to see it muddy! Mine looks like a garage queen, but I promise it's usually muddy!
I just spotted your chain stay protector. Doesn't look stock? The original fitted one, fell off mine and my neoprene one seemed to be affecting my shifting. I need something new.
I've seen sticky back velcro but I'm not sure it would stay on with my muddy conditions?
It's a free mbuk neoprene one. Doesn't seem to affect shifting on mine!
Mine was really tight. Shock compression was pulling a bit of rear shifter cable through and putting a tight bend on the cable at the rear mech.
I've just ordered a horrible looking silver chain stay protector from qwerty. I think I'll spray paint it black.
Yes I had that exact issue at the back, think because I didn't have enough slack on the outer under the BB. Pulling a bit more through and locking it off at the cable stop under the bb helped.
I bought my T2 Carbon in March, it has not turned a wheel in anger yet. The day after it arrived we went on holiday where...my heart dropped out of sync so I havent cycled since...However, I get it sorted in a fortnight so hopefully, a day or two afterwards it'll make its maiden trip
Happy days.
How often are people having to do a bearing reset on the Lefty?
I am finding that I am losing the last 40mm of travel within 1 or 2 rides.
The bearing reset is quick and easy - but just wondering if I have an issue with my Lefty that needs looking at?
Done it once in 6 months. That doesn't sound right to me...
Good luck Dave.
Hope your back to your best soon
Crashed and managed to snap the handle off my rear maxle on my trigger 4... Anyone got any ideas for a replacement? Will any 142mm axle work from dt Swiss etc?
Thanks
Anyone looked at brake pads for the Magura MT4's yet? Am I right in thinking that with 4 pot brakes I might need 8 pads!!....
have just changed mine, I've used sintered ones from these guys on loads of my bikes.
You only need 2 pads per caliper - ie 2 lots of pads (£14ish)

Cheers Rusty, I'll give them a go.
Need your help guys. My fox dyad released an oily substance when I released the air pressure the other day, also it is not fully going back up so the shaft is showing when bike has no weight on it. Contacted mojo with no reply within two weeks. What am I best doing? Also I have lost the small o ring to gauge sag does anyone know where I can get a replacement from? Cheers in advance guys
My dyad did the same. Just boxed it up and posted it to mojo with the online waranty form. 4 days later it arrived good as new. O ring is just that an oring try a diy or car parts place prob end up with a hand full.

Yeah I replaced mine with a DT Swiss from CRC. Make sure you get the one for Syntace X2
If anyone is getting a creaking & cracking noise whilst pedalling under load try your rear axle; my Jekyll starts to get noisy after about 3 rides - you can't really see or feel that it's loose but undoing the QR lever and nipping the axle up a teenth of a turn always fixes this for me. It's almost like it could do with knurling on the hub ends instead of just smooth alloy.
Also, did anyone get anything more than tubeless valves in the box, such as rim strips etc? Or are the rim strips fitted to wtb i23 supposed to be tubeless ready?
Did you contact pauls cycles or anything first or ring mojo? Or did you just send it using the warranty form?
The rim tape is already applied. Finally went tubeless last weekend but had to re tape 1 wheel as the tape around the valve wasn't great.
The same happened to my dyad. I phoned them first and they recommended i do it online. They were very good to deal with.
They didn't do very well at replying to my email lol. I can't find the form on there website just wanted to see what info needs to be filled out like. Is the little o ring something that I can ask them for a replacement also?

Yes that what made me think it isn't the right tape - the valve hole was a X cut into the tape and the innertube valve shoved through. The trouble is the X is too big so once I fitted the tubeless valve all my stans has pissed out again.
Oh oh, looks like my shock is losing negative air pressure-not a huge amount but I had an inkling it was and checked today before Stiniog tomorrow.
The initial love in with this bike has really worn off.

Register here. Then book a service job.
Fill in the form and tick the box for warranty.
It will give you an address to send it to.
Put something to prove you bought the bike. I printed off an email from Paul cycles.
Thanks a lot crazy Mac your a legend. Am I best ringing mojo just to explain the issue I have had? When they have it do they give you a ring to let you know what if anything is wrong with is and what they have replaced?
You could phone them for piece of mind but I wouldn't bother. It will be fixed under warranty as that fault seems pretty common.
They send an email when it arrives and give an estimate of when it will be ready. Then they email when it's been sent back. You can track it.
Mine has been to them twice. It was out of my possession for 7 days both times. Nothing to worry about.
The quicker you send the quicker your back on the bike ?

Mine held for 1 ride and developed a leak.... it waited until I'd loaded the bike onto the roof mounted carrier before leaking fluid all over the car roof and windscreen, made a right mess. After reading applying the tape it's been fine.
Cheers dude. Is the postage pre paid or have to pay for it?
