Very silly bike to ride on the streets

Finally a Cannondale owner after picking up this f+f from @ghettro and this is what I came up with

Random Q - how are the forks? I assume those are 1", which is what I need to replace on my road bike and I think those Columbus ones are about the only 1" steerer carbon forks that are readily available.

That would actually be ideal, thanks. I'll dm you in the week.

curly bars?!

Yea 1 inch and work great, no complaints!

ok, available in n7

HELP NEEDED !
I have si crankset stuck in my frame. The non-drive side crank is off but the axle and d/s crank is stuck solid. Maybe I didn’t grease the axle first, can’t remember. But I’ve sold the frame and need the crank out. I’ve poured Plusgas in but no luck. Anyone got a great idea ? Not my first Cannondale rodeo as you all know but I’ve never had this happen. And yes, I have belted seven different colours of sh*t out of it with a rubber mallet !

HELP !!!!

If the crank is sacrificial, I'd try a metal tipped hammer rather than rubber. The extra shock might free it

I have a pair. Brand new old stock. Shiny (well Matt) brand new tings in 172.5mm. Drop me a DM.

I’m a bit loathe to smack it with a hammer as I’ve had this crankset for years and I’d like to keep it in one piece.

is it well braced when you're hitting it?

It’s not the one with a lip on the axle is it?

Check.

Yeah. If you can get the frame on its side and well supported with the arm in a helpful gap, smack several shades of shit out of it with a metal hammer braced with a sacrificial bit of wood.

It will come out…in the end

it's alloy axle in steel bearings that are stuck together ?
blow torch inside the axle to heat up, wait for the both parts to cool down ?

I have saved a steel frame with a stuck alloy post that way

Shouldn’t come to that.

It’s a very tight interference fit that requires a good smashing to extract.

Couldn’t believe it the first time I put one in. It’s the same with a headshok or the lefty steerer. Nylon mallet is the minimum.

Indeed Howard it’s been a while since I’ve taken one out and yes, oh yes, oh yea. It had the lip on the axle. Funny it wouldn’t go past that !!!! 😂

THANK YOU ALL !!!!!

Got some new hoops for the CAAD 3, ready for summer down under!

Some absolute bangers over the last few pages, always nice to see old Cannondale's live on. @Babyldn really lovely build, red frame with black groupset and silver finishing kit looks lush.

This needs a silver seatpost

I really, really like this bike.

Selling my hollowgram si chainset if anyone's after one.

Morning all - I’ve picked up a caad 10 and looking to find blanking plates to replace the cable guides on the down tube (it has di2) - can’t for the life of me find them online - if anyone could give me a pointer I would be v grateful.

On most of the CAAD10 frames they’re not removable.

On some of the later ones with the rear brake going through the headtube they had a removable cable stop on the chainstay but I think the DT/HT ones were still fix.

The di2 CAAD10 models came with no stops at all.

There’s no part code so they probably don’t exist
