Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Pls give me the black crank bolts

Sent you a PM

@Dick they look proper fit with NoQ rings on 🤔

I know mate - little experiment! Still don't think they'll look better than Spiderring though... Watch this space...

Plus cher mon ami!

I'll see if I end up with a spare pair!

@Dick I've never really liked Spiderrings tbh, why I put Praxis on mine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Waited too long for one of these. Can't wait to get it built and ridden

But.....

EVERYONE likes spider rings......

You've thrown my "build bikes purely for others appreciation" compass ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

I thought we were friends...

maybe just put some nice FSA rings on there yeah? keep everyone happy.

Saving them for you...

Out of interest, has anyone else here ordered one of the CAAD10 Disc frames from Evans?

One of my colleagues got one, he picked it up last week

What size was it? Really frustrating as they've put the delivery date back from 2nd to 5th to 10th to 15th for the 54cm I ordered. A mate of mine up north picked up his 52cm two weeks ago!!

54cm

wait what?!

Wait, what, what?! The 54cm geometry of the CAAD works out pretty much identical to my 56cm Trek.

From previous experience with friends I'm sure CAAD's always come up a little large, no? The three cannondale's I've had have all been 54cm, and all perfect in that size!

wellllll kinda .. 577 stack and 387 reach on emonda. 3cm+ diff in stack. You cannot gram this as there would be spacers ;)

Yup - these spacers....

....one of them anyway.

CAAD8 come up a little large, CAAD10 are traditional geometry.

Isn't it the opposite? Larger rotor's dissipate heat more efficiently. The only warped rotor I've ever seen is a solid block Hope one from a crazed Nikolai rider.
Modern floating stuff I've yet to see warp, and couple of guys I've gone riding with eat through pads in half a day.

Is that wasn't clear in my original comment? smaller rotor heated up more = dissipate heat less efficiently?

Or do you mean that the smaller rotors should have more chance at warping due to heating up quicker than larger rotor?

I usually worries about smaller rotors heating up the pads/calipers to the point of losing power on a road bike, rather than the concern of warping the rotor as @skinny testified on his long alpine gravel descent.

Disc brake thread >>>>>>

That's really weird - I was just about to ask if there was a "DBRB" thread or something along those lines....
