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

Just some newbie questions. The cyclocross bike would certainly influence training in my college town with all of these gravel roads. I don't feel like I need the Ultegra on the CAADX either.
Are you referring to the 105 frame? I don't think there are mounts for disc but I doubt there is much to be gained by going disc anyway. Good rim brakes are going to work as well as the mediocre cable disc on the Ultegra. The real benefit of disc is in muddy conditions. I didn't need disc either it's just what worked out.

Hi KP388, nice bike you have there and welcome to the CULT! and to BF`s. If you get a chance could you take a picture of the other side. I like that color scheme.

Looks great! Everyone's dying to ask about the white bartape rather than black, though. I think it'd look better with black :\

Anyone with a later model CAAD have any issues with their BB30? I picked up a 2012 CAAD10 5 with FSA Gossamer at the end of the season and I took it out today for only the 2nd time since I got it and am getting some clicking when out of the saddle and only when pushing down on the left pedal. It's at almost any intensity, is a distinct click (not creak) and the pattern is somewhat inconsistent. It's tough to pin down since I can only create the sound when on the bike. So basically it's an assumption based on some of the issues I've heard from others.

Interesting question, dmagic17. I have noticed my bike makes some funny noises when I'm on the trainer and spinning fairly easy. I'm taking my bike in for a tune-up in about a week, so hopefully it can get sorted out.

It also sounds like the chain is rubbing on the front derailleur even when I'm in the middle of the cassette.

sounds like it was installed incorrectly, don't ride it. if you bought it at a shop, take it back and make them re-install the crank.

There is a specific way the bearings have to be placed in there and there is a specific type of Loctite that needs to applied too...hopefully someone here knows the specifics and can walk you through the way the crank and bearings should be done!

That guy had noise coming from the seatpost - This is not the seatpost

I plan to take it for a longer ride tomorrow and try to get a better sense of what it is and what makes it tick. If I can't solve it I'll take it back to where I got it. The problem is the place is more of a general sporting goods store with a bike section, rather than a dedicated LBS so I'm not sure how knowledgeable their staff is on BB issues.

@Pinkbullet. Yeah, there's a little bit of white on the saddle and I had that tape lying around... When it gets dirty I'll probably put some black on... I think it actually looks ok with the white too.

@dmagic. The same thing just happened to me. My bike was fine until I had the new crank installed. I took it for a 30mile ride and it was fine but a few days later it started making an awful noise similar to chain rub but not. It's back in the shop now, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'd appreciate an update as well. I've noticed a sound similar to chain rub, but it still happens on occasion when I'm in the middle of the cassette.

I'm taking my bike to my LBS for a free tune-up and hopefully solve this issue. I hope they can turn it around fast. Group rides start up, and I don't want to miss any over spring break.

Obviously used? Sounds a little high to me but it would depend on the condition of the bike and wheels but as a rule of thumb I figure on half the value of a new.

I paid almost $1500 for my 2012 rival, and that was completely stock. You have to figure if the ultrgra components and the extra upgrades are worth it to you. I would attempt to talk him down a bit, but that's what I always do. lol

Hello all.

I've noticed my bike has started making the sound of chain rub, despite there being no chain rub. To illustrate my point, I shot a quick video of me in a range of gears while in the big ring. I know it's not the best, I just wanted to try and capture the sound.

Is this a BB problem?

I appreciate it if you took the time to listen for a bit and respond! I just want my bike to last. It was an investment.

I can't really hear anything other than the buzz from the trainer. Cool angle though.

Are you on BB30 or have you adapted it to something else? The trademark creak of BB30 is a true creak. Sounds like a rusty door hinge. I didn't hear anything like that in the video.

It sounds like chain rub, but there is no chain rub. It definitely doesn't sound like a creaky door, so that's good.

Hmm, much appreciation! To be honest, I have no clue if it's a BB30 or adapted. This bike is completely stock from when I bought it, 2012 CAAD10 3. I haven't played with anything, at least not yet.

It's definitely BB30, even says so on the bottom of your frame there.

Took it back to the shop today and had the mechanic and sales guy ride it. They both said that it performs as it should and didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. I was able to point it out to them a couple times while on the trainer but they didn't think BB. They said it would make more of a creak than the crack/pop sound.

Advice was to keep riding it until it is "broken in." I'll see what happens - If it continues to get worse I guess I'll take it to a different LBS to have it looked at.
