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.
It looks like he's running a 2.5" Michelin. I'm not really sure anyone needs much bigger in the rear
I have a Michelin 2.2 Dh24 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.
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.on a bike like that you could run XT cranks instead of saints and save some weight.
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.

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.
Schweeettt.... get her completed and ride the hell out of there... We'll wait for your write up...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.
better shot here....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
....really? Your everyone must have something up their sleeves if they can get away with that.Last year everyone rode Maxxis minion rears for a set
It uses a high clamp - bottom pull derailleur.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
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.It uses a high clamp - bottom pull derailleur.

werd. Oh and travis my server issues should be resolved tomorrow so i can upload the footage from yesterday.shimano.
YES!Am I the only one who thinks that bike looks crazy long??
I agree the wheelbase looks pretty long, maybe the photo? or lack of cranks that make it a bit deceiving?Am I the only one who thinks that bike looks crazy long??
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!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.
I thought that was the point? LOL! Glad to hear they turned out well.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.
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.I thought that was the point? LOL! Glad to hear they turned out well.
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.sram or shimano? I've never heard of such a thing, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
