Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

anyone run etap red hrd with hollowgram SI chain set with spidering on a caad10 disc?

I have the chainset installed with the correct spacers as per the manual but cant get the front mech guide lines to line up with the chainring. Seems like the chainrings need to be spaced outboard by about another 2mm to stop any rub.
The crank arm its self barely clears the derailleur body. Less than 1mm clearance and I can make it contact just by pressing the arms inwards with my hands.

Wondering if anyone else has found the same issue?

Just finished building my Caad.

lovely! I think black tyres would work better, are you audaxing on that tomorrow?

New project. Getting red 10 on there soooon. Came with a 7700 crankset so left that on for now.

7.1kg as is, should be sub 7 with red on it.

Absolutely love that colour. Looks great.

What kind of seatpost is that?

AliExpress innit. Not sure about it though as it arrived with crap round the Allen bolt at the back, I moaned but they only refunded £3. Not convinced it's not going to fall apart as the QC is obviously shocking.

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/OFaQu0h if you want your own. Postage was very quick and it is light as fuck. Probably a nightmare if you don't have a cut out in your saddle though as there's no barrel adjuster for the front bolt.

Desperately need a seatpost to finish my caad10. Using an fsa post from another bike but the horrible big red fsa logo ruins the look of the bike.
So after some cheap plain carbon number but these QC issues are the worry.
Really want a carbon ritchey post to match the stem cos I'm a tart. But a cheap tart - cant stomach the bought new price. So waiting for something in the classifieds here or risk it on alibaba

I got a superlegerra for my super six for £40 on eBay. They are around. 31.6 stuff tends to be cheaper though I think.

Yeah been keeping an eye out on the bay. I'm holding out for a 2 bolt 27.2. I've never met a single bolt seat post that I've liked

Ritchey carbon are on my list too tbh. Someone on here pointed me in the direction of superlegerra and I love it. Got lucky with a cheap un though.

Aye, I got a superlogic c260 stem from this parish for a decent price ages ago. Would like to tart it up and have a matching post.
There was a nice stealthy s-works post going on here recently which I now cant find.
But again, being a tart I dont want to clash brands!

USE Sumo are very good single bolt posts and can be found brand new on eBay for £31.

I think the cheap Chinese ones are Superleggero copies?
The design looks pretty similar, and the ‘impossible to adjust without cutout’ system is the same

Yes!! Looks awesome!

They are, but the superlegerra has a barrel adjuster on the front bolt so you can do it on non cut out saddles. I'm not sure why they don't put it on the AliExpress ones.

Loveee the frame. Also think black tyres would work better.

I got these Chinese copies and they have the barrel adjuster.
Not great for adjusting by hand, though I imagine you’re supposed to loosen the rear bolt, adjust the front and retighten?

Ended up being about 150g chopped down (but not much seatpost showing)

got a link to where you got the one with adjuster?

How long you owned it? Any QC issues? Split in two and tore you a new arse hole? etc

As ^ said, would be interested in one if you have a link. It's not ideal on 'proper' ones, but makes it easier.

£21 on ebay.

Quality seems ok, the clamp design is more robust and less prone to issues than the inline seatpost style.

I got the same design somewhere else with a different carbon weave, but it was similar price.

Had it on my caad10, so must have had it for about 4 years? No issues, no extra orifices to my knowledge.

I have Condor Supremacy 27.2, 350 mm, zero setback, very light, if you want?

Nice one thanks, ordering that now. Will tide me over until I find a 2 bolt superlogic that doesnt cost £200

Edit - I think ill hunt around too for a different weave and maybe not gloss

thanks dude but as above I'm holding out until I can get a ritchey post
