hydros arrived from germany on monday so i fitted the levers (hoods have an extra cm or so reach compared to normal 6800 so might have to let go of the 130mm stem) and connected up gears etc.
the calipers themselves seem very light, but the levers are definitely a shade heavier than standard 6800 levers. the hoses should be perfect for the bb cluster issues
wheeled down to mud dock (cannondale dealer and good with "high end" stuff in the centre of bristol). turns out they had double booked my maintenance slot but rearranged so it should be done tomorrow. mechanic assured me that there should not be an issue with the hydro hosing, but he said he has had some headaches in the past with cannondale internal routing. he also assured me it wouldnt be necessary to switch out the crankset
