Another thing... It has an in built cadence sensor so you can ditch the Garmin cadence magnet, if you have one

I have one working flawlessly with an Edge800 but had to find the right way to pair it. You may need to enter the sensor number from the LH crank arm and 'start' a ride before calibrating/pairing. Travelling at the moment and can't find the original InPower text I followed but this is basically the same process:

Thanks!

Got next week off to give it a proper thrashing.

Done - Maiden voyage made for a fun commute.

Shouty gold chain transplanted from last bike and the red rear QR was the only 135mm one I had in the parts bin. All quite lairy compared to the raw ti of the last bike.

edit - didn't read inline.

Only seen Thomson I'm afraid.

I tried with some mini-molegrips earlier but they were too small. Managed to give my finger a good crushing instead. I think I'll get one of the DT lockings and get on to riding the thing.

Thanks @Howard, thanks @M_V.

The manual doesn't detail how to remove the disc. End caps/adapters need mounting in vice to remove though. Maybe it's time I bought a vice. Or one of these:

Going to email DT Swiss and see what they say.

Looks awesome!

Jealous yesterdays ride, the weather was amazing. Going stir crazy not being able to escape London. Ate too much cheese and wine instead.

Anyone installed a centrelock lock disc (Shimano RT81, cassette type lock ring) onto a DT Swiss 240 front QR hub?

I installed the rear without issue.

The front... Looks like I have to remove the axle end to be able to get the tool (Park FR5) to engage the disc lock ring. Axle end fouls the tool otherwise. Am I missing something? Don't have a vice or axle clamp so looking for an alternative.

Me too - don't want to damage the axle, it's where the science lives.

Spyre SLC + 160mm Shimano RT81 rotors. Looking forward to testing them out. Was surprised by the heft of the rotors though.

Noted! Thanks

Rotor InPower 3D+, so a 30mm axle. I think there's clearance now I kinked the cable.

You're build looks slick. Last time I was in Mud Dock was nursing a mother of a cider hangover.

That's a great tip, many thanks. Sram Red 2012 shifters, so it's O-shaped. I'll pick some up today so I can get this on the road.

Never ending CAAD10 Disc build continues - FINALLY got the replacement forks.
Wheels ready for collection at SBC - Awesome.
Started cabling in earnest last night to discover there's only one inner brake cable in my Jagwire XL box. Only one end of the giant cable has a metal ball on it, so I can't cut it in two. Faff.

In case useful to anyone cabling for mechanical discs... To get the compressionless rear brake housing to run better through the frame; Thread outer through and cut to length. Mark on cable where the major bends are; BB and cable exit on chainstay. Remove. Bend heavily by hand at these points. Thread back through. Mine sits soooo much better now and inner cable doesn't seem to drag.

Yeah, I've been on to customer services so many times trying to get this resolved. Lots of assurances and no action. They're meant to be taking a fork from one of the last framesets in the warehouse, though they keep failing to do it! Apparently being it's delivered to the local store for collection tomorrow, which I've heard too many times now.

I get your drift, if the delay get's any longer I'll be after an alternative.

Still waiting for the clowns at Evans to sort replacement forks - 3 weeks and counting. So useless it hurts.

Forks can't be faced, Park Tool fouls carbon, replacement being organised... what a saga

@Howard @Chak
Total faff although forward progress is being made. Forks are off to Soho Bikes first thing this morning and Evans will pick up the tab. Then back to battling the cable routing.

Agreed. However, Evans and the distributor have different opinions of who should have done what and a week of phone calls between them got very tedious. I'm going to call again today BUT I'd rather get it done elsewhere and move on.

Bargain unused secondhand DT Swiss 240s 28/28 centerlock hubs on their way. Currently thinking DT Swiss 460db rim and d-light spokes.

No trouble with the gear cables yet but the rear brake cabling was a faff - There was a big dollop of aluminium blocking the cable entry to the chainstay. Not structural, just a splatter of alu. Had to drill it out... Need to get the fork disc mounts faced too as Cannondale couldn't be bothered to do it.

56 Synapse Hi Mod Disc frameset in grey is £999 at Evans

Awesome! Got some paris-roubaix in the parts bin, perhaps it's their time to shine

Great idea with the zip tie. Was that a Jagwire XL or regular cableset?

Hmm, question mark against those then. £/kg is very good!

Was also looking at DT Swiss 460 db or Archetype rims built around Novatec 771/772 hubs.

I'll look them up, not familiar with those. Thanks
