As I hinted at earlier, there's plenty of progression tuned into the rear suspension. To that end, the Django is a hoot on the downhills. Even when the company is churning out lightweight trail bikes like this one, there's no mistaking where their passion lies: It's in the descents. These days the meat of the bell curve is moving their direction, so I guess we can just go back to calling them trail bikes again…ĭevinci has always offered a wide range of bikes, but the company has made its most public impact as a more gravity-oriented outfit. If the name dropping means nothing to you, all of these are bikes that would have been safely called “aggressive” trail bikes just a couple years ago. The geo chart (below) dives into the nerdiness of it all.Īs for where the Django falls-geometry and personality-wise-in the bike world, I’d classify it as swimming in the same general end of the gene pool as Santa Cruz’s latest Tallboy, Ibis’ Ripley LS and, most closely of all, Pivot’s Mach 429 Trail.
Naturally, as you slacken the head angle you are also altering the bike's seat angle, bottom bracket height and (to a lesser extent) its reach, chainstay length and wheelbase. You can slacken it further to 67.5 by swapping out the stock lower headset cup for an extra tall (about 10 millimeters) cup. In Hi mode, you’re looking at a 68.5-degree head angle. Rotating the linkage bolt that ties the seatstay and rocker together lets you either steepen (Hi) or slacken (Lo) the geometry.
GEANY DJANGO SERIES
Rear suspension duties on this top-shelf Django are handled by a Fox Float Factory Series shock. Oh, and finally, it's a Boost 148 party out back on this bike.Īs with Weagle’s better-known DW-Link design, Split Pivot is licensed for use on a variety of brands' bikes and is tuned to achieve different ride qualities each time around. Either way, consider yourself warned about the Django's "one-by-only" dating status. I know a lot of readers disagree with me on that point. I don't think front derailleurs are necessary any more, given not only the advent of SRAM Eagle (admittedly, still cost prohibitive for many of us), but also a variety of less-pricey, extended-range, single-ring options. This is a dedicated 1x frame, so if you want to run multiple chainrings, you're out of luck here. What this bike doesn't have is a front derailleur mount. It's always nice, however, to be given the flexibility to go your own way with a frame. I'd beg to differ-particularly in the Django's case. You might argue that a trail bike like this doesn't demand such accoutrements. In a subtle nod to the Django's capabilities, you'll find ISCG-05 tabs on that BB shell, which means running a minimalist, taco-style bash guard or chainguide is fair game. The Django 29 is equipped with a BB92 press-fit bottom bracket. I tossed in a Minion DHR II 2.3 for the bulk of the test. As soon as I saved my script to another folder the permissions error went away.Devinci says the Django 29 will accept a 2.4-inch Maxxis Minion DHF out back. It turns out that there was a permissions problem with the geany editor trying to create a temporary file in the geany folder. In my case, I had saved my script to the "geany" directory. I had the same problem and found that setting the path as described in the other prior posts was necessary but not sufficient. You want to add C:\Python27 to the end of that string. If there isn't one, create one and give it the value %PYTHONDIR% otherwise, append %PYTHONDIR to the existing one. Then, look for another variable there called PATH. So press Win + Pause/Break, and go to "Advanced System Settings":Ĭlick "Environment Variables" at the bottom, add a new user variable called PYTHONDIR, and set it to your Python installation directory: For example, I have Python installed at: C:\Program Files\Python 3.2
