Cannondale SystemSix Team Si

I'm conflicted about this, I loved that bike.

I hope Spotter enjoys it as much as I did.

hope you're going to stick mudguards and rack(s) on it.

Not 100% sure that they're the same. Can always take some pictures tomorrow if you want.

I'm sure I will!

I might be tempted by mudguards actually...

The SRAM one worked fine in the end, thanks though!

Just need to find a longer front break nut now

how long is that stem?

4 metres

Its 130mm. aka euro as fuck

I've gone from a 61cm with a 11omm to a 58cm with a 130mm, the saddle will be going up a bit and I will have my desired effect of a lower front end.

If it proves too back braking I'll step it back to a 120mm, but stretching will help.

The angle makes it look like a 150mm stem.

This might give a better angle

Ah the search for the elusive Cannondale front brake nut.

Medium ultegra 6800 nut works in my premium slice fork.

How about 110mm stem; layback and trad reach/drop bars? (or 100mm even)

Of course after the tumblr, insta pics ..

And if you have downsized a frame size wouldnt you need spacers along with a long stem?

130mm stems are where its at!

You are right that shimano nuts work fine on Premium+, I use one on my R900 with P+ and 7800 calliper. They don't work nearly as well on System Six forks unfortunately. I went through the same process a couple of months ago building mine.

yeah, stupid cannondale forks needing weird nuts... I ended up using a slightly too long nut with a small washer between nut and the back of the fork. a bodge but it works. Wouldn't recommend for this though!

Wut? Don't even go there. He's clearly after the drop for tops, hoods and drops.

Fair. Given sprinter etc. Internet bike usually means just hoods ..

Cheers, been looking on ebay and all I could find is UK sellers. Also nothing on alibaba, they do have kinlins but not xc279

Change the web address from .co.uk to .com, then search xc 279 and they come up :)

I could probably do with the 130mm stem if it doesn't suit @spotter

Got my rims from a seller in swansea
