C'dale Jekyll 3 Build - Updated SEPTEMBER

Cannot remember pressures sorry

I normally did drop it when climbing, not that I really needed to, but just that I didnt want to knacker myself out more than I needed
Ye you can definitely feel the difference when hitting the rear to 150mm.

I bought 3 different stems, 60mm, 80mm, and 90mm to try the differences...
Im sticking with the 60mm, feels more comfortable for me

I was planning on taking the same route and buying a few stems of different lengths and degrees and see which i think feels best..

Seems like all the Jekyll 3's are the same as yours ?

And it looks very cool with the Lefty

I saw these pictures posted on Cannondales Facebook page.

I have seen quite a few Jekylls fitted with 140mm leftys now. Here's a nice looking build from the forums over at mtbr;

Hi guys,

You seem to know quite a bit about the Jekyll!
I was wondering if you could help me. I have a 2011 Jekyll 4.
I'm in the process of upgrading a few things (Mavic crosstrail wheels w/ tubeless tyres, exchanged outer chainring for e.thirteen bashguard and chain tensioner, shorter stem and wider bars)

When I was trying to fine tune the front derailleur the bolt which clamps the cable sheared inside the mech. Its a shimano slx M660 (9 spd) but its proving difficult to replace. Most places seem to mostly stock 10 spd mechs. I got one off ebay which looked like it would work but its up-pull and I need a down pull.

Any ideas, I was wondering if a 10 spd Mech would do? Or is there a SRAM mech which might work?

Many thanks,

MJAP
