Porter, I've ridden it every day this past week, and I've had no leakage. Thanks for asking! Both the front and rear are VERY stiff, so I'm going to drop the air-pressure down to 180psi and see how that feels. I'm 225lbs, so 180psi is 80%. I might even drop it to 170psi(75%).
The Jekyll's paint gives me a 2012 date also. And there is a circular black sticker with a white numeric "3" on the frame; sounds like a Jekyll 3 to me. I am very new to all this, and have no real idea what you mean by reintroduced. Did the '3' denote a level of componentry?
Thanks BL1987. I currently have a complete frame, a handlebar, and two wheels. It needs everything else. I do have a possible lead on a Dyad rear shock. I'm confident that the front wheel-hub is for a HeadShok. The rear wheel will accept a cassette.
Basically I'll need everything EXCEPT...
Belay all that! I found article describing how to add air to the fork and shock. I picked up a little Fox 'suspension pump', ran them up to about 200 psi each, and things work MUCH BETTER now!
Replying to myself, but I still have some questions! I did some viewing and now understand that there is an air-adjustment for the HeadShok. I am in the process of finding a shock-pump this morning. I've read that I should use about 70% of my weight converted to psi for the pressure I set the...
Hello everyone! A few days ago I made a deal on a 2002 Cannondale Scalpel. It's been at home all morning getting cleaned and tuned. Anyways, I took it for it's first ride, and with one exception all is well. That exception is the suspension. I get the feeling that it was originally for a...
Hi everyone. I recently rescued a stripped 2012 Jekyll frame;
forum post describing the Jekyll
Does anyone have a front fork or rear shock for this poor thing? I'm also going to need bearings, headpost, gears, and brakes. I can't do much without those two big pieces though.
The man I bought this from texted me today. He'd found what he believed are the wheels and handlebar for this Jekyll. He told me his brother has always been a 'flipper'. He thinks his brother bought this bike and stripped it to sell parts. He is helping his brother empty a storage unit, and...
Hello. My buddy gave me first call to purchase his Cannondale Scalpel, so I accepted. I've been looking through the annuals but cannot find this color scheme. Can someone tell me what year it is?
