Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

was not aware of that. I was just going on advice (FAKE NEWS) given out on here over the past few years that the wavey washer should only be minimally compressed

Heh. You should compress the wave washer just enough, but not too much.

SORTED.

lol

Can't quite put my finger on what is ruining this.

Mudguards. I think its the mudguards.

The bell is awesome

I think its the mudguards.

Maybe @Tijs can briefly come out of retirement and show us?

You're welcome.

Obviously the stem and seat post needs to get sick red-white-blue fadez.

Edit: and cranks!

Would the spokes be going too far?

I did a search for wave washer and wavey washer on the thread and I couldn't really find evidence of this.

Not if they were manufactured in Texas

Boom!

creak

FTFY

I spoke to Cannondale Spares store about this as had the same as you but was told it shouldn't be flat, I put everything on as instructed and looked like more of a gap compared to before hand, ensure no play and ride..

Ridden mine now a few times since and all is good.

did a 3 min shitshop

Still looks pretty awful

Gap under the wave should be ~0.4mm (0.3-0.5), so not flat, but compressed.

I'm in love.

£110 well spent.

that's the whole story of Cannondale isn't it? You think you're buying a finely crafted piece of aluminum made by someone called Chad and actually you're buying into an ongoing conversation about what the hell kind of BB/cranks will actually work and how.

This bike is exploding 4th of July fireworks in my heart
