Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Mine doesn't. At least this week anyway.

I think there's an argument for just accepting bikes sometimes creak.

Yeah I mean older, tired bikes will.

Modern stuff really shouldn't. It's a bad sign, means something is moving and that means something is wearing out and that thing might be integrated in to the frame...

My Supersix doesn't squeak, ever

None of my dales creak

my speedplay cleats do though, profusely

my caad3 is asking what a creak is

Put a 1x10 drivetrain on my BOTE, new Easton bars and seatpost, gotta change the bearings in the wheels a bit of play but then hopefully done.
Found a control tech seatpost, some Larsen tt tires and a rohloff chaincatcher for the Franck Roman.
New bars and xt brakes on the Stars and Stripes, gotta play around a bit but it’s getting there

Lovely work

Need some help identifying whether a chainset is BB30 or BB30a

Distance from the shoulder of the lockring to the end of the splines is 88mm - the spindle is marked "A3134-109L"

So I'm thinking this is BB30A/73mm BB shell?

cheers

Yeah 109 is the bb30/a axle

Sick stable, that CAAD4 is particularly amazing to me

FOR SALE!!! Over in the classifieds. You know you want it ;)

Thanks

Anyone got the FSA bb30 adapter removal tool?
It’s a sleeve and drift for pressing out the threaded adapter

Inb4 use BSA

I made one on the lathe at work, free to use if you can come pick it up and drop it back off. :)

Incredible. Where are you? Do you have a bearing press to use it with?

ahem... i'm selling this if anyone is interested?

I just remembered you’re in Belgium aren’t you? :(

You could hear me creaking from several bike lengths away unless I serviced and greased the BB every other month. Then I got a Hambini BB. Peace and quiet ever since.

Grim

yeah, sorry mate. always welcome for a beer when you're in the neighbourhood.

so awful

I just don't get it. It's like they never stepped away and looked at the bike from further of than 4 feet

Is there any reason why I shouldn't run a Cannondale Synapse as a winter/light touring rig. I already have a CAAD 12 which is a lovely summer runaround.
It's just all the previous conversations about BB30s and creaking brackets has
me peturbed. i have no worries on the summer bike but winter up here in Yorkshire can be really damp.

i've been using my BB30 SuperX in disgusting conditions for a few years silently. I can't say the same for my threaded road bike used only on nice days
