Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

LBS who owe you a favour

How's that possible? I owe shops all over london for various borrowings of tools or free nuts and bolts.

It was kind of a joke. It’s not possible. Asking your Lbs to order the part in would be a horrible thing to do.

Kinda like when I asked Soho Bikes to package and post some things for me as I couldn’t be bothered / was incompetent. To their credit they did a great job and have just about forgiven me but now I have to bring them beers every time I go in otherwise the guilt consumes me /csb

Maybe I should go pay our Ed a visit. Evans do Cannondales right?
@edscoble any chance your shop can get me a chainstay cable stop for a caad12?

call cannondalespares. they are helpful

Yeah, can get code, price and need to pay up front first.

After payment, take a min of 14 working days for it to arrived.

Don’t ask why.

Hmmm. I might explore other options then. Cheers Ed

@PhilDAS I think they are the same part used between the CAAD and SuperSix. Triton always seem to list misc parts;

a couple of forum tracks out on a mission

if anyone can give you the dimensions of it, i can 3D print you an exact copy

Now, I'm sure I can find a replacement somewhere. However, the integrated cable stop in the downtube for internal cabling has been drilled out so I need to come up with some way to stop a cable there too. Reckon you could knock up a cable stop for it? It'd just need a lip on it at an angle 50 degrees or so from flat, if that makes sense. Ie it goes in at an angle and the opening in the frame is elliptical

I actually have the brake guide you reference fitted to both my CAAD12 and Supersix, so i could copy one for you.

Cable stop might need a bit more thought but yeah willing to take a punt

Awesome. How much does it cost to knock something like this up?
I’ve bought a cervelo cable stop to see if I can bodge it in the front so I may just be needing the rear one now

Finally finished. Upgraded everything (originally it was Ultegra.) Armourtex's paint job seems to be holding up well.

Heh, friend of mine has a set with only the PP part of the sticker.
Z looks better though...

Di2 hydro?

if you just want the rear sleeve bit, really very little. Will take me 5mins to do the CAD and only a small amount of material on the machine, the part is probably £1 max

Well I’m in then!

Also, this is fucking rowdy

If you buy it for me, I will gladly use di2 hydro, otherwise I’ve already got everything I need to build it except these fucking cable stops

Nice ɔɐuuoupɐןǝ.

Was in my local lbs yesterday, that have an Apex 1 slate, in medium for $2000. It's the rigid fork variety but it looks like such a fun bike.

Going to test ride on Monday. I hope it is actually a steaming pile of junk cause I really need a new bike, just not of that kind.

And to that point, there's no real reason I need a slate but I also don't race, barely ever manage a 30kph average over mixed terrain and have a few short sharp hills to deal with on every ride. Probably should buy a synapse disc

I really need a new bike

@Howard did you give me the wrong number to avoid me buying you a coffee? I’ve been crying into my wine

Shit - I did. Sorry! PM'd.

Just road here or mtb allowed?
