Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

No interest in buying; just kind of interested in what they're pedalling

They adopted it as a marketspeak recently, even their budget hollowgram chainset aren't hollow.

well yeah, obviously, I was just interested in the specs of the wheels themselves. If the high end Cannondales comes with wide, nominally aero wheels as standard, it would be pretty sweet non?

That's why they call it the Si chainset

But yea, not sure about those wheels.

quite an unusual one

whats up with those dropouts ?

Definitely something suspect going on there

Google 'Slice Track'

have been
here's viviani's bike

seems legit, there's a few slice track prototype pics with these dropouts on googleimage, cf :

edit: too late

it's got the fugly dropouts too

'Track ends'

You have the option to buy one?

Not a production bike - expect weirdness.

quite tempted
nice rare cannondale would be a good addition

seatpost looks knackered and don't know the size yet
knowing modernish c'dales the seatpost will most like be propritary and difficult to find

would make a nice shopper

Not my thing but there are some weird team only specials kicking around.

where ?

In Howard's personal collection..

nothing with a c'dale proprietary suspension please

I'll wave a ruler over them at some point this week and see what the deal is.

@Howard chainreaction was "well maybe, depends if we have the tools, come in and we check".

It's a Fatty D fork, I think it's just a castlenut tool it needs.

They are probably OK with taking it apart and me getting the parts and putting it together. As I said if they get parts it will be too £££.

I may still try myself but if I need to buy £50 of tools it's not worth it...may as well let CRC deal with it.

Tooling required depends what is wrong with it. Needs a proper diagnosis first. If the oil damper needs a rebuild then it's a castletool, bullet tool and shaft clamps.

The trouble is that you need to know what you are doing to know you need the later two of those tools.

If these forks go anywhere near any wrench who doesn't know what they are really doing then they will be returned to you in a bin bag.

If you really want it done properly your options are take it to a Cannondale specialist in the UK - there are a few - or post it to Craig Mendon in the US.

The later is more likely to work out TBH.

TF Tuned could probably do it...if Cannondale would let them.

They won't tho.

And they don't even deal with CSG...
