I know where that is ;-)

Nice bike!!! Love the silhouette of that generation of Cannondales

The synapse is a connoisseur’s bike. Those who know, will know.

But it’s still a black bike with black components.

Try gumwall tires?

I like what Specialized are doing these days with just an oversized down-tube logo on a unicolour frame. That might work

Specialized Sawtooth. They are okay in the dry, I am running them with tubes and on narrow rims, so probably not utilizing full potential.

Don’t see many of these around! Here is mine: quite heavy with 10s apex and 36h openpros, but super fun and versatile! Tempted to try 1x with a sram mtb rd.

Nice, have one too. Great bike!!!
Any closeups/measurements of clearance with 28mms? I am running gp5000 too, but at but 25mm and would not want to go bigger…

Love how the silkroad is hanging around by the work stand, like it is curious to see what the newest member of the family is about :-D

Looking to give my good old caad10 some fresh paint.

Inspired by The Mint Crux I want to put a single big white ‘Cannondale’ decal on the downtube. Where is the best place to get some (to go under clearcoat)?

Thanks!

Big Mig’s inner ring is bigger than a compact outer!

Here’s my 2014 R3 in size 61.
Upgraded most of the bits: etap red 11, 3t arx stem and aeronova bars, sworks seat post, fizik arione saddle, Chinese carbon wheels

Need that high stack and long reach to fit my legs and arms. Cervelos are perfect for that :-)

Already asked above

Winter bike is a 2013 CAAD10 with 6800 brakes and 25mm gp4000 on Aksiums. Will PDWs fit?

Thanks

What are the mudguards on the right one? And how do they compare to race blade long?

Thanks

Yes. Most certainly does. Thanks!

Anyone able to id the year of this Allez frame set?

Remember snapping mine the day before going on a week’s trip to Mallorca. LBS only had a non-30.9. Worked fine for the week.

Then I ordered one from https://www.cannondalespares.com/Cannondale-CAAD10--Slate--Optimo-Seatpost-Clamp--KP159/product_detail/3-39640

Zoom in on the RD cage, that looks quite interesting no?

@Scilly.Suffolk chain is correctly routed without stiff links, and jockey wheels are not worn at all.

@fizzy.bleach it's hard to tell if it is bent as I don't have anything to compare with. Will have to drop it by my LBS to have them look at it.

Upon cleaning my bike and re-lubing the chain, I noticed something odd with the Ultegra RD-6800:

When in 53t font and lowers 4 gears on the rear (both on 25t and 28t cassettes), the chain jumps off the lower pulley wheel. Pedalling backwards will put the chain back on, but pedalling forward will throw it off again.

The indexing is fine and the shifts happen properly. (Apparently it has been doing this for some time without me noticing as the inside of the cage shows marks from chain rubbing.)

Any thoughts on the cause?

Thanks

You are saying my body proportions are weird? ;-)

I agree, the -17deg 150mm stem does seem a bit odd.

There is an explanation for it, though.
I went there to get a fit on my current bike at the time. We ended up sliding the adjustable stem out to 150mm before realising I couldn't achieve a proper fit on it (frame was too short), I was then moved to the fully adjustable retul bike and got a proper fit there.
To save time, I guess he did the adjustments on the frame and not the stem.

However, It does not bother me too much. I look at handlebar stack/reach instead and use online tools like http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php to calculate stem length and spacers when browsing frames.

Yes, that would probably be the case for me on the Supersix. The bikefit also supplied an effective seat tube angle of 74 degrees, so the 72 degree seat tube would definitely call for a saddle set far forward.

I'm not super tall, just 189cm - but with kinda long legs and arms.

Of course the fit also includes saddle positioning (for me height/setback = 816/-77mm), and achieving the setback depends on the seat tube angle. So with this in mind, I believe the stack and reach measurements still make sense

But yeah, might be looking at custom then ;-)

Interesting chart +dancing james, it rules out the SuperSix for me then :-(

+Howard Had a Retül bikefit resulting in frame stack/reach 646/409 with a 150mm/-17 stem and 20mm spacers (handlebar stack/reach 689/546).
So, I would really need the reach of the 60cm - but also the stack of the 63 ;-)

It just seemed counter-intuitive that moving up from 60 to 63 would result in a shorter reach, but when looking closer at the chart there is a difference in seat tube angle too.
The -1 degree seat tube angle (between 58 and 63) cancels out the +2.5 cm in effective top tube length and results in the same reach.

Hah :-) but would they really design the 63cm with a shorter reach than the 60cm?
