Nice, what are those wheels? Looking for an upgrade on my supersix.

Dura Ace/TB14

Riding wise they feel like an upgrade from the stock wheels?

Have been looking into these Cero or Hunter aluminium wheelsets at same price point.

My mates boys bike R500 its tiny has 650 wheels on it was built up with parts bin spares .

value check on my 2015 Cannondale Supersix Evo Hi-Mod 60cm

Campag Zonda wheels
6800 shifters and mechs
Dura Ace 9000 chainset (w/some heel rub)
r8000 brakes (brand new)
Thomson seatpost
Carbon railed Spesh Romin saddle
Ritchey bars
Fresh Jagwire cabling throughout.

Paint all fine other than minor chip on top tube.

I'm hoping for around £1000 - is this realistic or way too high?

Seems like a pretty decent price! I’d have it off you if it were a 48 or 50cm

Sounds pretty bloody good if you think a CAAD12 frameset is £850 alone...

Okay - is that too low then?

Just toying with the idea of using the funds from that to buy a nice racy wheelset for my ti bike ahead of cross season and a commuter bike. I love the bike (stupid fast and very light) but never quite got on with the fit and I won't be doing any road racing any time soon so...

Largely depends on whether it will take a modern wide wheel set and a big tyre

You got a few pics?

Also @Howard has a good point - if you can’t fit a 28mm tyre on a 19mm internal rim nobody seems interested any more.

Nah, 25mm max unfortunatley. 2015 was the last year before they updated it, I think.

Pics incoming.

edit: would obviously clean it properly before any potential sale.

It's good price but the Achilles heel of these is that they can't take bigger than 25c tyres if that matters. Great price/bike otherwise .. @Klar has one for sell

i've always sort of thought that wider-than-25mm-tires on a road bike was a relatively niche thing limited to lfgssers, grammers and radavist

most roadies up here still ride 25mm

praying i'm not wrong, haha.

Lucky person whoever buys this!

I’m using 28mm SWorks Turbo Cotton on alloy rims on alloy frame on alloy bars.... etc etc

The difference in comfort between the 26mm and 28mm is noticeable. I can run the 28s at 85psi and they still corner and climb brilliantly.

Also, I only ever rode 23s until I moved to London - the roads in London are shit enough to warrant nothing less than 28s.

Hmm, I'm a Jabba-esque 85kg these days and run my 30's at 55f/65r, and I about to die?

Almost definitely

There's clearance for 27mm width (measured) tyres, eg Pirelli 25mm on Archetype

Unsucessfully tried to remove the BB30 sleeve adaptor stuck in my CAAD10 frame using this delicate instructional video
. I might not have the patience to remove it as delicately as the video instructs, anyone have ever tried it before and have some tips?

The internet states a special tool and a headset press, but as I do not have said tools this is not an option. LBS will be next step.

On the note of hi-mod pricing, mine is still not sold at the absurd price of 830£ complete.

Yeah - they do, but probably helped by putting some new GP4000s on ..(28 on the back) as much as the wheels. Also, definitely somewhat lighter despite the extra spoke count.

My Habit was sounding like a bag of spanners so I dutifully replaced all the stock pivot bearings - that have a terrible reputation for being shite and falling to bits - with Enduro Max.

Turned out it was the lock-ring on the Si crank loosening itself. Ho hum.

Have you got a diagram of this? And could it be happening on a 2018 CAAD12?
