For Sale: Slam that stem - low stack headset cover

don't see why you couldn't use one from a 45/45?
have a free non-branded-carbon one for you if the above falls through:

I'm not sure tbh. But it turns out since faffing around with it, I've learnt that it has the wrong bearing in it in the first place, and I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out what bearing it needs. Bloody LOOK.

french forum?

Tester can you email me about the headset cap regarding the caad10 please

Butterycyclist@gmail.com

For those lucky people with CAAD 10 and a tester cover that has worked, what height is the compression ring?
Because I think somewhere in taking it to the shop at some point in it's life the headset gubbins don't match the originals. Because, I can't close the gap whereas other CAAD 10 owners can.
Unless someone wants to tell me I've got it massively wrong in my assessment and tell me what I should do.

tell me what I should do

Take it apart, lay out all the parts on a table in the order and orientation they come off the steerer and then take a picture. Then we can have some idea of whether it's an assembly error or just some really out-of-tolerance component.

I need to get slammed on my Cannondale CaadX. Before I go measure the headset, just to make sure I have understood:

I think the first number (i.e. 45, 46, 47) is the outer diameter of the top of the head tube.

I think the second number (i.e. 2, 3) is the depth of the cap, so should be equal to (distance from top of headtube to top of compression ring, less a nominal tolerance to stop it bottoming out)

Have I got that right?

I suspect I'll need a 47/2 if the CaadX is similar to the Caad10 (but will confirm with calipers this evening). Have you any 47/2 left?

Yes

Have you any 47/2 left?

Yes

Excellent. Thank you. Looks like 47/2 is correct. I have sent the money by PayPal to sts@grafixbyjorj.net and included my preferred size and postal address .

oh hai tester .. this is what I have atm:

Can I use one these covers that you have instead?

Diameter suits one of my 45mm ones, you just need to double check the depth, see http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/207812/?offset=225

Will measure and PM you; to confirm its a tenner PayPal gift right? I'll wait till payday ..

Yes, £10

Cap received, stem slammed. Thanks again.

For anyone wondering, 47/2 works great on a caad x.

Hi Tester,
I've paid for a top cap but can I get one of these too? It's for a caad10 so I guess that's 47x2?
Happy to wait until the top cap is ready too? Lemme know and I'll pay now if you have a spare left?

Yes, there is just one 47mm one available.

Ok I'll pay now and you can make the call on whether to post it now or post it when the top cap is ready. Just lemme know. Thanks!

Paid!

Hey Tester,

When do you think you'll have some more 47's in stock? After one for my Caad10

Thanks, Neil

When do you think you'll have some more 47's in stock?

Some time in October. The following people and anybody else requiring sizes other than 45/46/47/48×2 should prepay before September 15th if they want them made alongside the next stock batch.

@McVittees 46×4
@via_condotti 46×4
@noiser 46×4

Tester, with this talk of new 47's in stock, would that mean a trip to the machinist? any chance of a steerer bung group buy?

If you can arrange it; bear in mind that it's £40 for the first one, and they would probably all have to be different diameters, with everybody having to take responsibility for accurately measuring the internal diameter of their steerer.

Any 46 x 2 in stock?

No, only 45mm at the moment.
