Any Cannondale slice experts out there?
I have a huge problem with a slice rs I am trying to rewire. Basically, the internal cable routing system has been destroyed by a previous mechanic. Parts are no longer available from Cannondale so looking for a McGiver fix. If you look at the schematics, lines 4 thru 7 are either destroyed or missing. Thanks, Mark

Alright, here's what I know about this bike so far:
2013 Cannondale slice RS.
Sent directly to the rider in rural Brazil, from Cdale on a pro riderdeal.
Built by the only guy around with a set of tools, (not a bike mech.) in a hurry a couple days before a race.
The big problem is over the years of her riding 400+ miles per week, each mech. who's worked on it has only put bandaids on it and not fixed the core problem. Now parts are unavailable so all I can do is try to build a better bandaid.

You will have to post a bigger photo or put it on a photo sharing website and link back. Alternatively you could post a link to the document you need. At the moment it is difficult to see what parts you are talking about. Good luck with your fix.

Have you tried contacting Cannondale USA directly? 3 years old and I would be surprised if they stopped supplying those parts for this bike. Shame on them if they don't. I'm sure it would be possible to improvise with a good solution but not having it in front of me it's hard to recommend something. Oh, the joys of proprietary bike parts.
