  • how much does the whole thing weigh?

  • how much does the whole thing weigh?

  • haven't dared weigh it, will do later

  • Me too, ummed and ahhed a bit too much and BAM! 63cm out of stock. Damn.

    It's looking like a 12 build instead for me now - but waiting on @Dammit and hoping he lets me have peek when it's in Soho... pretty please!

  • Ah ok, I'm using some cheap but decent aksiums disc. 1.9kg but not aero.
    Ksyrium pro are 1500g but cost 6-700 £££..

  • Motherfucking ParcelFarce have done that thing where you wait in for a tracked delivery, check it, see it's out for delivery, wait, check it again and... oooops! I wasn't in! That whole time I thought I was in my livingroom waiting for Cannondale frame I was actually at the beach, eating icecream and being sucked off by a succession of punctual and enthusiastic concubines whilst their poor delivery driver was hammering at my front door. Silly me!

    Cunts.

  • not light enough ;)

  • definitely not light enough. waiting for chinese rim manufacturers to catch up and make some disc specific carbon clinchers.. options are a bit limited at the moment

  • So what are the goto 25.4mm seatposts for Cannondale owners then?

  • The ksyrium pro?
    Fair enough! Haha.

    Please spec me something lighter and cheaper. I was looking at tune hubs laced to pacenti sl25 for similar monies.

  • Extralite laced to Light-bicycle 30mm, CX rays obv.

  • Yeah, this is where I am at, and it has the benefit of potentially matching the new, 90mm stem I need to buy *. Wondered if I was missing anything, apart from the £240 ENVE jobby, obviously.

  • This is my new connondale, I still have a few framesets to sell for my wallet recovery but I'm really happy with this thing !

  • lock up @Dammit 's credit cards

  • Love those crank arms.

    Your front brake hose looks routed incorrectly...?

  • Thanks for the info ! I've searched for other slate pics and it looks like you're correct, the brake hose should be on the inside of the fork. I guess the purpose of this routing is to avoid the hose to be caught ?

  • I guess the purpose of this routing is to avoid the hose to be caught ?

    I believe so, yes. Additionally it ensures the hose is pushed up with the lower when the suspension compresses, and prevents the movement of the hose from causing rubbing damage on the upper.

    If you look at the bash guard there should be a little socket for the hose where you zip-tie it down. The hose then bends - somewhat awkwardly - backwards to the caliper. You might have to move the position of the banjo-bolt to get it to work.

    I can't believe how much of that sounds like gobbledigook

    Edit: Wait. Slate doesn't have a bashguard, so nothing to zip-tie the hose down to. Guess it just runs along the front of the upper then inside to the caliper.

  • Sorry, you were hammering a cucumber getting tugged off by a ups driver on a cannondale? And there was a cornett involved? Strawberry, you say?

  • But is that £6-700!?

  • Slightly more .. I think farsport do extralite, check their aliexpress store.

  • Strawberry when the delivery driver is hammering at my front door, chocolate fudge when he's pounding on the rear.

  • When you say aliexpress, quality doesn't jump to mind. In this case is it just a reseller of the same product?

  • Very nice!

    OPI Stems look very tidy on these:

  • Shame they are so horrible to set up and adjust - they do look nice.

    New version for 2017 apparently. Hopefully less recally
