Any question answered...

The headset on my caadx is semi integrated

Cane Creek says it's IS42 both ends, you're never going to get a tapered fork in there if that's true.

Look OK, best to put some copper slip and tighten the lockring a bit more (not doing so doesn't tighten the whole cog on and thus cause this).

Maybe some sort of crab net.

Where are these fishing boats? Their location on the coast might give a clue as to what the are fishing for. Do they all have one?

Whitstable, so crab net is a possible. Most seemed to have one.

It's a marker signifying the boat is actively fishing and other boats should beware lines etc. Similar to the black ball when a boat is at anchor. I guess they just leave it up all the time.

Cheers!

Would this not do the job? http://www.jensonusa.com/Cane-Creek-40-Series-EC4440-Bottom-Cup

Would this not do the job?

Not if the current lower is IS42. If you had a ZS44/30 lower for 1⅛" fork you could use an EC44/40 lower to fit a 1½" fork, but I don't think that's what the CAADX has.

Fuck I think it is is42. Oh well I knew it was too good to be true

So it there 100% no way it's gonna work?
I don't get why they wouldn't make a lower assembly for 1 1/2"?

CAAD X is an OTP bike priced from £800, why would they make allowance for people to retrofit a £500 aftermarket fork? IS is easier for frame makers to build, since the bearings drop in rather than requiring a press fit which is the case with ZS or EC. Doubling the bore tolerance from ±0.05 to ±0.10 and eliminating the head tube facing operation is one of those things which production engineer look at when they have to nickel-and-dime mass produced bikes to hit certain retail price points.

Cannondale don't seem to be in love with huge lower headset bearings anyway, the Supersix and CAAD12 only have 1¼" lowers.

Is killing a squirrel illegal or frowned upon?

Asking for a friend etc.

It is legal to catch and kill grey squirrels but it must be done humanely.

Leave the poor buggers alone

They even like bikes. Here's one I rescued 15 years ago

They certainly like MTB tyres; I ran over one with both wheels at Swinley once.

I think if you've caught one, its illegal to release it. (A grey anyway).

Is killing a squirrel illegal or frowned upon?

It's positively encouraged as long as it's grey. Either road bike or MTB works.

Hoping I didn't jump on a bargain that is useless to me.

Give them to me :)

Can anyone recommend a budget pair of road forks?

Not that fussed about material, steel or carbon is fine. The recipient would prefer them to be chrome or black though.

I had a Jack Russell that caught a squirrel in the park.

Some Graudian-type townie was outraged and threatened to call the Police.

Anyone aware of the best place to pick up authentic cannondale decals?
