Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

I've managed to fix the play in the headset - it was an issue with this plastic ring.

No sign of angle on the headset sadly, but it is campag.

if you take the bearing out, align a short ruler against the angled part of the bearing, look at it from above over a piece of white paper, you will be able to assess if its 36 or 45.

Very much in the in progress stage.

HH potential !

The credit card trick is a good way of checking for 45 degree simply place the corner of the card through the bearing creating a V as the sides of the card are 45degrees the card will rest on the bearing with no gap if it’s 37 there will be a gap

Really? Nasty looking finish for a Cannondale aluminium frame .. I saw the globby welds and the plate style chainstay bridge and figured they finally cracked out something in cromo

yeah that works for assessing the inside bearing angle, but not a crown race on its own or the other measurements/angles of a bearing

Yes your right @Glws it’s just a quick way to measure the inside without tools but I’m guessing if you measure with the card and find it’s 45 or 37 and then put against the crown race and look as see if they match perhaps?

selling my caad12 at the moment

Apparently there's a new Jekyll out, which Cannondale have emailed me to tell me about, but when I hit the 'see the bikes' button, I just get 'Dave'.

It's not pretty

I guess these kinds of bikes are never going to be things of beauty. I like the way they've buried the shock in a similar way to the new Scott Spark.

I like the looks apart from the top tube. I dislike teh split downtube for the shock though, so structurally ineffecient.

Not that we'll be able to buy one until 2023

All I saw at first was the kink in the top tube. Without that, I actually quite like it

I like the way they've buried the shock

Looks like an e-bike!

weird additional sprocket thing above the chainring deffo makes it look a bit e-bikey

threaded BB!

same part of my brain which hates renderite/glass architecture hates hidden shocks

They look great when embedded into natural frame lines like the Trek XC bikes and a few others, but not when they add unsightly bulges. #IMO

why does Imlach keep saying 'Cannondal-ee' in the TdF prize advert?

You just got trolled.

I'm aware I mispronounce, Veloce, Ciocc, Tange and no doubt many other bike / component brands. Don't tell me I have to add Cannondale to the list.

Hey folks,

Does anyone know where I could pick up some Caad7 graphics? preferably R2000, but if not, no problem.

Been after them for years, never seen them anywhere. Close occasionally, but I have no idea why no one produces them.
