Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Biekfit bingo?

I did get a fit before purchase and then when I had it to make sure it was sized correctly and all seemed correct and proper. I've messed with shorter and longer stems, seat position and bar position to see if I could get some relief.

In the end I think it might be that I just bought a bike that is too aggressive for me to ride comfortably? That and my balls don't like being knocked about on three hour rides.....

Biekfit scobel bollocks bingo.
Just need dj to turn up offering yoga and core advice and we're on for a lfgss godwin.

Sometimes I miss being able to give rep.

BN repped.

Oh, wait.

saddle width made a big difference for me. If your saddle is too narrow then it doesnt support your sitbones and put more pressure on your delicates.

@simonn have you considered an adamo? They're designed to take all pressure of the perineum and put all your weight on sit bones. They look awful, but hey.. no-one can see it when you are sitting on it!

I did go to a decadently wide saddle for a while but without much relief.

Sad thing is I'm likely to be all bikes for quite a while yet, I'm not even commuting at the moment as it hurts. Going to pop the Cannondale up and keep my fixed bikes I think and do less long run stuff instead.

I second @dan's suggestion, the Adamo, SMP, Fizik VS X range, etc. would be a good start.

Oh god. One minute it's change your bike fit, then the next it's change your saddle.

Sound like you got sand in your foreskin.

Had a string of nice yellow test fiziks for a while. As is the case with a lot of bike shops they let me take different ones out to see what would suit and try and get rid of the pain, meant my photos from Ride 100 were a lot less cool. In the end stuck with the Arione as none made much difference.

Think I might buy a chopper or a motorbike next.

I'm circumcised.

Swap it for a synapse

Sorry for the delay, had a few family health issues to attend to.

Looks brilliant!

My entry into the club:

Persuaded my friend to get a CAAD10 (105 spec). Ignore the dodgy MKS pedals - the bike came without any so I lent him those before swapping for ATAC.

That the one that went for a bargain on ebay? Serious bang for your buck if it is :)

Item number: 111468815521

Yep, very good price and in perfect condition. Nice to get friends riding.

Looking at building up a new racing bike and the idea of a CAAD10 is messing with my determination to go down the carbon route. Are they really as good as everyone says they are?

Alternatives include a SuperSix Evo or perhaps a Look 586

Yes, they really are.
