Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

I like the look of the R8050 chainset and not sure how well the cannondale cranks would play with DI2 front mech. What is the common approach for fitting different cranks, something like this? https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Praxis-Works/BB30-to-24mm-Converter/1VMZ?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&co=GBR&cu=GBP&glCountry=GB&id=87659&ds_eid=700000001845766&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=UK_EN_Profit_Google_Shopping_All+Users_Brand_All+Products_Desktop&ds_cid=71700000047514192&ds_ag=D_D_87659_Praxis+Works_BB30+to+24mm+Converter_Bottom+Bracket_65+GBP&ds_agid=58700004770897389&ds_k=PRODUCT_GROUP&ds_kid=92700040703435674&ds_kids=p40703435674&gclid=Cj0KCQjwupD4BRD4ARIsABJMmZ-wsJxoq0YaVLh07tzPA1fjpnrQ4YhlGaauWfSbfb9s9ML2k8RuatcaAlR0EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

also it means not using any adapters which could cause headache.

Why get a Cdale and not get a Hollowgram chainset?
Best looking cranks imho.

I like the look of them but they're very £££ to buy separately and also am unsure if they'd work well with a Di2 FD.

I used a cbear BB

They work fine with di2

The OTP Di2 bikes have Cannondale Cranks

My eyes

I'm clinging on to Cannondale fandom but they are making it increasingly difficult

Just let go it’s easier

I think that looks wonderful

oooofff thats awful.

Never!!! i've got around it by placing a time frame on my fandom. everything after the CAAD 10 is dead to me.

But the last edition of the evo hm is truly a magic bike.
Definitely the best (road oriented) thing they created until the slate.
Though some of the superX are also quite nice.

Good point. This means I need to find another 350 quid for a hollowgram.. they look great on the CAAD 10/12 and older style SS Evo's but not sure it works so well on these newer aero frames.

To be honest I'm hoping in between these decisions an accumulator finally comes in and I can just stick it on a top of the range Evo HM - this one would do nicely - https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Cannondale/SuperSix-EVO-Hi-MOD-Dura-Ace-Di2-Disc-Road-Bike-2020/MSDT?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&co=GBR&cu=GBP&glCountry=GB&id=1063245&ds_eid=700000001845766&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=UK_EN_Profit_Google_Shopping_All+Users_Brand+Generic_Bikes%26Frames_Desktop&ds_cid=71700000050108849&ds_ag=A_A_1063217_Cannondale_SuperSix+EVO+Hi-MOD+Dura-Ace+Di2+Disc+Road+Bike+2020_Mens+Road+Bike_8999+GBP&ds_agid=58700005178687730&ds_k=PRODUCT_GROUP&ds_kid=92700045734602293&ds_kids=p45734602293&gclid=Cj0KCQjwupD4BRD4ARIsABJMmZ-4MIFBF_23VKg7cMmYx6aIIENpXkyAahh_NnnqigZqZTYyVLlOZhIaAhczEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Still think that paintjob is shocking for a £9k bike though.

i'm sure it looks nice at a longer focal length

my purple '12 arrived... so so happy, so light, such colour.... need to swap the brake hoses round, but the bar tape is perfect right now, and once my fat finger have messed with it it won't be, so it can wait

EDIT: looking at that pic the saddle needs titling back and bars down...

congrats, it's really nice (apart from dodgy saddle/bar angles...).

ta... and i've let myself down there tbf

won't be going to bed until it's remedied

Hah

Phone photos don’t help that

Such a great colour

how much VAT/customs did you end up paying?

yeah... a lot... £1025... so.. this was a rather expensive bike

Yeah, but when you consider the alternative...

Didn't have a bike for the weekend so i raided the posh box in the cupboard

What is the benefit of a 30mm crank? I would ideally look to run a CAAD12 (if I can find it) or 13 with the standard ultegra chainset (hopefully R8050)

Working at a big cannonade dealer i have more issues with people who've tried to "upgrade" their bike with a thread in the middle BBs than any one who's bought their bike in for us to pop new bearings in once in a while
