Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I understand your reasoning, but are you really riding at a level to feel the 6mm difference in spindle diameter? The DA crank will be stiffer all around with Much better chain ring geometry. If you must stick with the K-Force, slap some Praxis rings on there to show that you aren't neglecting the bike in that dept.

I agree, try the DA, you may be surprised.

100% in agreement with these comments (is crying for a DA 9000 crankset) except...take a minute to straighten/level the pic using simple Windows Gallery tool...

Agree on the bolts and have searched high and low for the right green and can't find them. I've actually purchased 3 sets off Ebays thinking from the pics that they were right and each time they are some dark, horrible green. Anyone know where I can find some bright "lime" green bolts? The brake pad holders are lime green and work perfectly but the company doesn't make crank bolts.

Thanks for all the comments even from those that don't like the bike! lol

Thirdgenbird is correct. It is a 1998 GT Edge Aero with 1" steerer. Ugly frame, but quirky just how I like 'em. Huge downtube, teardrop seatstays, even the seattube is oblong.

Saddle is actually a modern "turbo" style replica.

and 105 and ultegra and...ehh you get the point lol. It's a hodgepodge of parts, but it seems to get me around well enough although I understand that's not what this thread is about

Not looking for "standard" bolts, have those, the search is for GREEN chain ring bolts which Cannondale does not offer.

Gee...I thought you wanted the standard cannondale green crankbolts



lime green would look like crap....but then again you have a FSA crankset when the Hollowgram is what you need...

if these guys https://torontocycles.com/Selling/Cha...nd_Cranks.html don't have what you need, you're not going to find it...

Again, I need CHAIN RING BOLTS, not crank arm bolts. And, as an FYI, my Parlee Z5 needed the Hollowgram so that's what it got. This CAAD10 was not built with weight in mind so the FSA is indeed "what I both needed and more importantly...wanted".

Ok, I posted here a little while ago, but i think i fixed it. I am a junior racer, so my chainring is tiny so that I can use a normal cassette but still have my bike be race legal.
