Cannondale Track (Capo content) All Black Everything

Also 1 inch headtube vs 1 1/8 inch.

Steel fork vs... A lot changes in that time :)

The more interesting question is what is the difference between the CAAD5 Track and the Capo - not a whole lot iirc

dubtap
CAAD frames and Capo frames are identical geometry to the mm

Next part acquired, a vintage salsa stem, will likely have a salsa quill stem for sale at some point

Ooh how long is it?

Also interested if it's short!

that looks super nice, I want one now.

Dont remember exactly, think a 130mm 17°drop

2nd/3rd dibs? ;)

new stem, thinking gold/ornage top cap to mimic look of salsa quil setup

More new new for when ever this damn thing shows up


700x28 tubi for my specialized

this thing too ugly?

speaking of ugly, gotta wrap the seat tube till till i feel like stripping and painting

Be interested to hear how you get on with the 28 wide tyres. Widest I could manage was 25c (palesas) mainly due to the rear brake bridge.

@jambon its for the front, hoping to run 28c all around (fingers crossed). even towards end of dropout wouldn't take 28c?

If you're set on running a 28c on the front then you can always test it on the rear without fear of being refused a refund by fitting the tyre - presuming you're happy with riding different widths. I know sizes differ between manufacturers but would be pleasantly surprised if you can make a 28c rear work. Albeit with mudguards, but this is with 25c's.

well rear will be clincher except when in disc mode, and that thing is getting a 23/25c gatorskin i have laying around. just getting the 28c tubular because i can and 19/21c is the worst ever. 28c front fits? i have a slice fork around that i know clears 32c but would rather not.

Regarding fitting a 28c on the front haven't got the bike/OG fork with me at the moment so hard to say sorry!

Thanks anyway

28mm tub on a trispoke gonna look shit

@umop3pisdn maybe so but it's only my backup spoke, maybe backup to backup spoke depending on how things go

just found the 26c for $20 cheaper, you win, slightly less ugly haha

@dick happen to remember if it could squeeze a 28? and is that a wound up on that thing?

Nope - 25 was close on the rear bridge from what I remember, mine was one of the CAAD5 originals though, I don't know if that's changed in later models.

Wound up 4 Lyf

word is geo stayed the same, just hit on the bridge though? any special work to put wounds on? read something about having to space crown race?

Nope - straight on like any other fork

Yeah IIRC after using 25's for a while there was noticable rub on the brake bridge which would indicate 28's are too much - however that can be slightly adjusted for in the rear drop outs - I couldn't be sure, but you don't need larger than 25 anyway, ever!

Confirm CAAD 5 rear brake bridge could cause you all kinds of problems with a 28c.

But not as much as trying to glue a massive 28c tub designed for Zipp ultra wide rims on an old skool 17c trispoke with minimal tyre/rim contact and low tyre pressure.

Enjoy rolling that tub!

cringes at the thought of the subsequent finger torture
