Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Just spotted a Caad 4 / R500 on glumtree anyone - may be a bit basic? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/cannondale-r500-53cm/1258647974
No relation to seller / no vested interest, etc

This is rad

**** S P A M ****

I'm selling my System Six and bundling in a load of extras for free

Please someone buy it and enjoy it, its all sad being unused .

Thank God it's to big for me. Gorgeous bike.

If I used a CK ThreadFit 30 could I fit Si Cranks on my Trail SL frame?
@Howard

Yes with an cinch axle from RaceFace

Some stuff here:

Hmm, so would presumably I could just buy their own (much cheaper) BB instead?

and heir axle get some arms and away it go?

You'd need some spacers but yeah get the cheapest bsa 30 bb you can basically and the mtb spider or a direct mount ring

DJ is selling some Hollowgram Si arms they are the sweetspot for mtb I think. Not so spendy that you are sad when you mash them but nice enough to be smug :)

You read my mind...

Good price now on this Caad6 saeco for the larger gent or lady

I was thinking of putting them on my Habit, but then I have the non-hollowgram Si arms on it anyway, and they suit the bike well I think.

Is there a difference between MTB Si and Road Si apart from logos?

No, there is no road or mtb si or different logos

Re threaded BBs, it's really hard to get any info out of cannondale/CSG but some of the Badboys are actually coming stock with the non hollowgram SIs using a FSA BB

Picture not working.

fixed

That's interesting development, Cannondale quietly admitting that PF BB's aren't as amazing as they'd have you believe.

Soon

No it isn't - its because badboys are cheap and it's cheaper to make a bsa threaded frame than PF frame, and if you can chuck your branded crank on it with the mtb axle, why not?

How wide are they? 68mm?

Hey hey I'm happy to enjoy the benefits

these badboys are more pricey than the base CAADs tbh. I Guess cannondale know what they'll be used for and threaded does just make more sense

Yeah thems the spacers you need right there.

these badboys are more pricey than the base CAADs tbh

They have goofy components like rigid lefties with integrated lights (WTF) and belt drives. The money aint going in to the frame, that's for sure.

That BB is apparently FSA EVO8681 - BSA to BB30 adapter

The 'BB30 adapter' is kinda misleading

Where now?
