Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Well that makes me feel better about it. I know for a fact it's going to creak and annoy the life out of me.
Will loctite spidering for sure. On my way to machine mart right now for a vice. Etap arriving tomorrow.

After seeing it could be done I got some 30's for my CAAD.. very happy.

I need help. I’m trying to build a Caad5 with a SI crank. I’ve got a Wheels MFG Ceramic BB on here, a Cannondale 30mm 125mm (i think) axle on as the 119(or 108) was too short. Now the front mech doesn’t reach the big ring. Any solutions?

That won't work. Unless you find a crank spider that pulls the rings in back again by the 10mm or so the external BB cups and longer axle have pushed them out.

No point spending dorrah to get those (new) Si cranks working anyway. If it's BSA just use a nice Shimano or SRAM crank.

Noooooo :( anyone want to buy some SI cranks? I have 2 spindles and one is box fresh

First lovely day of the year

Fuck me what size is that/how tall are you?

Possibly the nicest frame Cannondale have ever done.

1x?

It's a 63cm, I'm 6'5.

Considered it but the bike is going to be living (loving) it’s life between Barcelona and London! Lots of climbing will be done it. Ended up ordering Red instead. Will post update when it happens :)

I've still got this which I forgot about

I didn’t think that EE Brakes could get any better.

See, link type cables are worth it

Fit a smaller big ring and an MTB front mech?

Large F-Si in seemingly good nick for a fair price.

el chapos get away vehicle ?

I have a 2015 CAADX with SRAM Rival and keep falling out with it when riding on the road. It feels like riding a sponge and very little of the effort that goes into the pedals seems to translate into riding at any kind of pace. Has anyone else come across anything like this with one?

What tyres?

@Sluggo exactly the same, on paper it should be awesome. I just sold mine. It had 105. Think its that its not a normal caad road frame / alloy steerer and headtube which weighs a ton, plus a long wheelbase and a big headtube. it was just miserable
