Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

If it went down, warrant it.

I've actually found the same thing with my cheaper cannondale carbon post. have to tighten it way over recommended to get it to stay put.

Having ridden both a fair bit now I'm not convinced the 12 is much of an improvement over the 10. the fork flexes a lot in comparison, both under braking and heavy cornering.

CAAD2 came yesterday, cleans up well :)

Need to lower seatpost

Someone on here was contemplating a Slate, the Ultegra can be had for a few quid under £1800 now using code Tour10, the Slate Apex 1 is also £1170..

Agree with you there, I think I possibly preferred my CAAD10, certainly not a lot in it IMO.

yeah, it's a close one. I think if they had stuck with a 27.2 seat post and beefed the fork up a little it would be a winner, it's definitely better looking!

What size is it?

couple of nice cannondale volvo blue f3000 mtb's on ebay

not cheap mind

Is your frame big or do you have a lot of spacers? Surely it's more likely that your wheels are flexing? I race my 54cm CAAD 12 and would probably stop doing so if I could detect the front fork flexing!

58, they come up a bit big though, I'm 6'4"

54cm with about 10-15mm of spacers. It's not the wheels. I'm not saying its horrendously flexy, just that the 10 has a stiffer fork.

I doubt i'd notice the difference road racing, but then I'm usually clinging on at the back anyway!

About the same as me then. I had a Supersix HM before and while I can notice some differences (acceleration, climbing, road buzz) I haven't noticed this. Only reason I mentioned racing is that I probably put it through harder breaking and cornering, certainly in crits at least.

That said, what does front fork flex feel like?!

Got these out for Independence Day yesterday

San Andreas!

tb14's with 28c tires in my 2017 Supersix. Will it fit? (width)

What's the best full length mudguards for a CAAD9? Recently built one up as my summer best bike but enjoying it so much I want to ride it through the muck of winter.

Used them plastic crud ones on mine - not sure something more robust like PDW will fit.

New Synapse revealed on 10th July apparently.

Will ask in here too. Anyone got an old cdale mtb they could let go? Frame or more

New mamil wagon from dale:

It's an updated version of the Synapse. It looks better than the previous version - the seatstay junction looks much better. Integrated kinda handle bar thing is interesting.

Want it with rim brakes? You might be disappointed.
