Got it in Saturday, 34.66 pounds right now, throwing my Saint Dual ring cranks and E-13 DRS tonight, so hopefully I can keep it under 38 pounds.

VEry interesting color choice, but still a sweet ride
It looks like he's running a 2.5" Michelin. I'm not really sure anyone needs much bigger in the rear
EDIT: It's actually a 2.2"

I'm actually running a Michelin 2.5 so that would be okay for me...I dont know the Can Diggle but in the Jedi that Bullcrew posted a little ago, there was little clearence between the chainstays and rear tire he was running (I think it was a kenda 2.5 ??)
Sick frame. I'd really like to hear a ride report. I was considering getting a Jedi to replace my aging DH bike but even the EP cost for those frames is prohibitive. I've heard nothing but good things so far but if I was going to shell out that coin I'd want something USA made, and maybe some color choice besides black.
sick bike
Lovin the orange. looks good
I have a Michelin 2.2 Dh16 on the rear..you can definately run a DH16 2.5 no problem. The Jedi rear is also a lot different than the CanDiggle, but there is not much clearance on the Jedi. Maxxis tires run a bit narrower so I dont think any issues with fitment if you run a Maxxis. I will post some pix later this week with different tire choices. Kenda tires are fat so I see why theres issues with fits.
Sure looks like a 16 on the back..can't quite tell for sure because of the pic size/quality. If so, that is a VERY odd combo with a 24 in front.
BTW, your front tire is on backwards as well.
uggh, ya its a 16 on the rear, and the rear is on backwards not the front if you look at Michelins recommended rotation. Still muddy here and this combo works good. Last year everyone rode Maxxis minion rears for a set, this year its the fronts..I try different combos.
on a bike like that you could run XT cranks instead of saints and save some weight.
I thought about running XT's on my Diggle, but since it'll be my DH bike, opted for the Saints. Planning to have over 30 days in the bike park this summer.
how much do you weigh? if you're light enough xt's are fine for dh. i know plenty of people that run them. but i have saints and love them. so either way it'll rock!I thought about running XT's on my Diggle, but since it'll be my DH bike, opted for the Saints.

I know exactly where you are (look at my location). I will say it again..your front tire is on backwards.
You could make a MUCH better combo with those two tires for the averge western washington terrain.
Put the 16 on front, and put the 24 on back. Put them both with the arrows facing backwards (it is a traction arrow, not a rolling direction arrow...they are french...) For earlier season conditions, you can cut the intermediate lugs off the 24 for better cornering and mud clearing. A non-cut 24 on front, on any thing other than true hardpack is scary....I cut all mine.
Canfield stuff rocks this year, the Jedi slays the trails so far.
The brothers really upped the a-game this season.
Ride picss!

I cannot tell in the picture, but will you be needing to run an Etype derailer or does that seat tube come down far enough to mount a derailer on? Just curious how they plan of seting up a front derailer
Schweeettt.... get her completed and ride the hell out of there... We'll wait for your write up...
better shot here....

and you're right, its def gonna need an e-type.
....really? Your everyone must have something up their sleeves if they can get away with that.
It uses a high clamp - bottom pull derailleur.
Very cool, I was just curious on that.. I like it overall.
Innovative design that isnt overkill on the complications. simple linkags systems ETC

sram or shimano? I've never heard of such a thing, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's hard to tell what the exact spacing is b/w the BB and the seat tube, but it appears to be pretty substantial.
shimano.
werd. Oh and travis my server issues should be resolved tomorrow so i can upload the footage from yesterday.
edit: server is back up. i'll upload the video tonight.
Am I the only one who thinks that bike looks crazy long??
YES!
I think its angle, it plays a hella role in positioning. I took a couple of picas of mine the other day low and diagonal and straight on and 1 was funky looking.
I agree the wheelbase looks pretty long, maybe the photo? or lack of cranks that make it a bit deceiving?
Drew sent a couple of proofs of Bobby over to examine. Look good, Ill pop a couple over after drew scales them inoperable for use. As a courrtesy to him, not trying to be a butt!
The drop one he's sending it, good position and style, the corner came out good as well. They are geared more for marketing ads in the magazines and portfolio then anything else which is good for his sponsors.
I thought that was the point? LOL! Glad to hear they turned out well.
In a way it is as well as we are looking for a money shot for an expose and possible press release of him going for a new world record.
Looks good!
DaveP, thanks for the schooling on french tires.I will swap em around and see how it goes tonight.
Looking good. Send us a ride report asap!
They both make a Hi mount bottom pull front derailer. most the sram derailers are both top and bottom pull. Bottom line, its a front derailer.... who cares which one you have, there interchangable in the front.
Sicklines.com just posted a review of the One. Lots of good content for the lighter version of the CanDiggle.
