  • no clue really.. it is now resting (and will be for a while) as i don't have time to deal with it.

    If it's post 2006 then it can take a modern damper, so all would not be lost if you pulled it apart and knackered it. If I were you I'd get the castle tool, remove the damper then post it to
    88+ when the time comes. The telescope will be fine.

    Give me a shout if you have any questions.

    Getting my 2.0 Lefty repaired was relatively straight forward although TF weren't exactly shit-hot. It was the criminally hamfisted re-installation that caused the agony. I was more referring to this thread that gives you an idea of some of the complications involved with tear down and reassembly.

  • Give me a shout if you have any questions.

    thanks! but that'll be later on. thesis and work are high priority atm :)

  • A colleague is looking to by a hybrid and liked the look of a 'dale bad boy on the cyclescheme. I know nothing about hybrids but thought a charge might be better

    Anyone own one/ would recommend it?

  • They're overpriced for a hybrid.

    Charge would be better, the Pinnacle Neon also a pretty good bike that's very light for the weight too.

  • Thanks I suggested both. in typical new rider style, he wanted the bad boy because it was matt black

  • Yep, quite a way from the final setup, will probably get longer and lower with the stem as well.

    Need to race this on Sunday at Essex Roads (as other bike in storage) so dropped off to @Breso this morning for him to finish the cabling.

  • pls? Also that Dale tandem, I was getting the twitch severely, showed the missus and got the predictable response of "If you think I'm getting on that with you etc etc". Oh well.

  • out and about on cipo yesterday

    a question kept on going round my head yesterday ... what are the most hhsb riser bars

    and second question should i hhsb riser bar ?

  • enve or easton low rise is quite hip. Just search for something with low rise (10-20) and somewhat amount of upsweep. and keep it wide (+64cm)

  • Don't suppose anyone knows the crank length you get on the 56cm Supersix do they?

  • Id be surprised if it wasn't 172.5mm, but I can't say that for sure.

  • my 56 caad12 has 172,5 so quite likely they have the same across the range

  • thanks @eyebrows and @negaatio. that's what i'd have thought as it's the standard length for a frame around that size. the cannondale geometry guides don't say which is frustrating

  • got a slam that stem cover from lbs. Now waiting for wheels. And ordered a cheap 17 deg stem to see if its too low.

  • New Scalpel might have something like this...

    Yes I just steal this shit from MTBR

  • What on earth is going on in that top tube?

  • innovation, thats what

  • Looks like somewhere to stash a lightsaber. I'm up for that!

  • electric suspension?

  • Some kind of shock brain or somn'

  • What could go wrong etc

  • I wonder where in the UK would service such a device...
