All this talk make me want to order a Jedi but I just started building my M9 and have my PBJ.
Canfield Jedi 2011 Proto
Obviously the suspension is not a perpetual motion machine and does not cause the bike to accelerate on its own accord... even Einstein made some mistakes in describing gravity.. you could excuse anyone lessor making the same mistake in the way they describe what is happening..
Words are fine for describing perception .. and someone is always going to find a way to technicality tear down a perception.. equations on the other hand dont lie.. much
E speculation is great, however take the time to understand what designer is trying to achieve from a bike. If the designer is not trying to achieve a bike that you like, obviously you are not going to like it..

im sorry youre wrong.
about which part? It would be super awesome if I was wrong about the frame being a perpetual motion machine 
If you are talking about describing perception, you cant expect everyone here having a physics or maths background - how the hell are they going to describe anything that meets strict scientific linguistics?

i was just trying break up some of the dribble in the thread. it wasnt directed at you

This thread has been VERY amusing!!! That being said, I've owned an '08 and an '09 and I am SO stoked for the changes to the new Jedi... only another month to wait!!!
seems like they made the downtube a little less curvy, cool. 
but tapered headtube still? bah.

The headtube will be a full 1.5seems like they made the downtube a little less curvy, cool.

With Angleset -.5 cup gives about 63.5 HA. Everything looks well thought out.
In that case, sign me up for one in raw with black graphics/links please.
Avy, followed by elka
im 5 11 as well, i ride a large, and i feel that its smaller than my other bikes, which are all mediums. That said, after spending more time on it, i really happen to like how it fits now, canfield will probably tell you medium, but i happen to like my large (which i THINK sells out the fastest, maybe for this reason?)
size large 2010, 50mm stem, 165 cranks, fork all the way down with a king headset
Also 5'11" on a large Jedi. I'm long torso/short leg build though.
I wouldn't want it any smaller, thats for sure.

I never even really looked into it until now but ya the sizes seem to be a little smaller then other frames out there I'm 5'10 and like the feel of a smaller ride and always felt i bordered a M/L, but with the medium only having a 21.5 tt i would think that a large would be what i'd go with for sure, as the medium seems really small 21.5"", thats what my street hardtail has for a tt
I believe they offer a XL as well, only my opinion, but they run a size small
Just saw this on the website:
Does that mean only 100 frames for 2011 or just for the first batch?
thats in in general, but it may be 100 per size, i would call and ask
Only 9 Xls for 2011
Right now it's 100 total for the year, but Chris said they might looking into another 50 later on.
On a similar note, I have a 2010 F1 shipping to me and am super stoked to be giving it a shot on one of these. Nothing but good things about this bike is what ive heard.
i'd assume bullcrew already has one of those XL's on lockdown. I would love to get one of these this year, hopefully by the time i get my finds together they will still be avaliable
So I haven't really been nearly as active in recent years on RM, but I want to the further the observation put forth by the Dorpmachine guy. He's right and his observation as well as Socket and his response about the pros of moving production overseas.
The long view is this; overseas production will get increasingly expensive as the Chinese accrue more and more money and grow a biiig middle class. This is the nature of the global beast. At some point overseas manufacturing will cease to have a greater profitability but due to the braintrust/tech/options that've been developed and kept in the area, the industry will stay there.
Personally, I'd love to see a manufacturing sector spring up in Mexico but the USA doesn't care enough to clean up the drugs.
Also, who cares about a damn rearward axle when there are waaay bigger things to consider and you're clearly just going to get some big money bike and flash around to people who could care less. How inane.
Finally, Sikocycles' Big Link weighs at least 70lbs. Use it for squats.
waiting away along with a few other buddies for various sizes....
Well to be honest, what else could i possibly do with my bike, its not like i can use it to race, nor win with it, you guys dont actually ride these do you?
I am also 5'10" and I have had 3 medium bikes from them.
It not as small as a medium Specialized.

I'd try to add to the dialogue instead of being the bike riding equivalent of Uggs.Well to be honest, what else could i possibly do with my bike, its not like i can use it to race, nor win with it, you guys dont actually ride these do you?
Hey, uggs are at least warm and well I know 1 girl who for some insane reason looks good in them. We were booth high though so that may have sth to do with my opinion.
I talked to Chris and there was a mistake on their website, the medium has a 22.5" TT.
I would think the jedi will be the obvious choice, however, id like to know more about where your riding, your skill level, what you plan to do, ect.
The more we know, the more we can help you
I've been riding DH since 1995, most of it in Vancouver, Squamish and Whistler.
Skill level is always subjective but I can hold my own on most trails.
Ill say this, i dont know much about those specific places you live, but the jedi is very good in the rough trails, its not bad on the smooth, but that is not really doing it justice, you will really only benefit on the jedi in rough terrain and even more so with racing. I dont know what the terrain is like up there, but if its the "typical north shore from the videos" and "a-line" it doesnt look very rough, that said, i have never ridden there. The jedi is supposed to squat under braking, it may, i dont really notice it, i dont happen to think it has the best braking out there, its certainly not the worst. I mention this because of all the shore videos having muddy fall line trails. In a nutshell, if your riding A line and skinny ladders all day, the jedi isnt for you (not that it cant be) I would take the devinci for those things, but thats only based off perception off of a place i have never been to, in another country. Pictures and other things can help me help you more
This is the type of terrain i got mine for

im pretty sure this confirms my theory, who are you? you have to be involved (working at, shop friend) with 2nd nature
That would be me, who are you?
