Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Like the look of that stem, got any Id for it?

@edscoble
rotor s3x. Reeeally light. Mine is 106g @ 110mm and no noticable flexiness

Think the thomson might actually be lighter than both the cannondale carbon options too, might just wait for a better all round option..

looks great. i have those bottle holders and they suck though, need to find some others

Maybe it was, but when I was tightening the clamp, the seatpost was still moving ever so slightly at 3nm so i tried to tighten it even further between 3-5nm and thats when it cracked. I was trying to be really careful about it as it was carbon and all that hoping I wont need to tighten it close to 5nm

ye they seem to be hit or miss. my 3rd one was unusable and those 2 where luckily ok with rapha (camelback podium) bottles.

the camelbacks might be a bit fatter than some other brands as they are a bit too fat for king cage iris

thomson is the all round option

Mine have been flawless with the same bottles.

Ah, bad luck dude.

If a seatpost crackes at 5nm it's just bad design. Safe clamping force should be much less than that which will actually break it.

but... carbon

just me with void bottles then

the benefits of carbon over anything else as a seatpost material are vanishingly small. Get a Thomson; they don't break easily and hold your saddle where you want it.

They also look dogshit if you need layback, and that's coming from someone who owned one

Photo look 0 degree but Ican only find 6 degrees in quick search, is it 0 degrees?

Each to their own. I've got a layback on my S6 and I don't think it's half as bad as everyone makes out. How much post below the bend you've got makes a difference too.

Better than the current Zipp seatposts that kind of melt into a tangle of weird, gloss angles.

it is 6

it goes wider towards the bars so the angle isnt obvious from pics

Boo, that must be why it look like a 0 degrees stem.

I'll try and find one on trade.

Now the 12s out, what would be considered a fair price to ask for a caad 10 frame? I bought it at the end of last year and hardly ridden it. It's a 58 and the black and white (BBQ) 105 version.

Also got a brand new set of si cranks with the fsa rings.

From my research back then when I was looking for one, the going rate was between 300-£400 depending on the colour scheme and age. We had the disc version ?black edition? from evans for £369 or something for the frameset.

that's bad luck, I have the same and suffered from slipping so clamped as hard as I could to stop slippage, with no damage to the seatpost. Synapse clamp may be different though.

Try £300 with leeway for haggling.

Sounds reasonable. As long as I can cover the cost of a new frame I'd be happy.
