Cannondale Trigger? Bargain

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!

Does anyone know if a Trigger 27.5 will take a 203mm rear disc?

Yes it will, with the right adaptor.
180mm max on the front if running a lefty.

Wonnyj are you selling your trigger frame?

Excellent, it’s a fox on the the front so 203s front and rear.

I’m not selling mine. Just saying that I’ve bought one! Awesome bike so far.

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 can’t see Dyad servicing being a problem for a few years.

@longmover.

Did you convert your rear to 203mm? Which adapter did you use?

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.

Cheers. Some how I came across the pic earlier iPod in the thread using the post adapter to fit a 180.

I’m 203 front and back. No fouling. Not even close. Mandatory to fit my Hope E4s as the bulky calliper wouldn’t fit on the stock mount.

@zero-how did you get a 203mm rotor on your lefty?

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…

Looks like the info is in the user guide – ignore me!

Where is the user guide to be found? Mine didn’t come with one and my basic internet search skills bear no fruit.

My guide was in the box of ‘bits’ that came with the bike – tubless valves, hub adaptors, shock pump.

Link – parts list on page 18

Nice one thanks. Wasn’t in my box!

180mm disc fitted on the rear. Noticeable improvement over the 160mm.

No to test it in anger @les gets on Friday.

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 🙂

2018 model looks ace & rides lovely https://www.instagram.com/p/BVj1XeyDUvF/

That looks a giggle.

Needs a lefty but I like that.

Couple of things…

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.

I’ve pushed the “buy” button

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. 👿

My rear brake hose has started to rub the frame under the bb.

Has anyone rerouted theirs over the crank/bb?

mine did, it has a couple of layers of frame protection under it now

Carbon 2 wheel upgrade. The elusive 32hole left supermax hub. Off to coedy to try them out over the wkend 🙂

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.

Longmover,

I though about that but also thought about reroute get it over the crank/bb to prevent it possibly being crushed if I strike anything.

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.

eddiebaby that is nice. Well pimped.

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!

Edit, why can’t I post pics from Flickr!!,!?.?.

That dosnt help me resist the urge to get hopes on my trigger.

Ta. I forget to mention the offset bushings, they made quite a difference.

That’s cool rockhopper. A guy rocked up next to me on the way home from work a couple of weeks back and he had the same bike as you, but no Lefty.

Dupe post
