A lot of people have moved to the CAAD10, but those that still have their CAAD9's this color scheme is not what I usually see.
In the case that I do get the CK hubs, it will be a whole new wheelset. So, the nipples would be black and I plan on changing the cable ends to black, as well as the brake adjuster knobs. (I actually have no idea what those are called. Lol.) In that case, would the Pink be subtle enough to not be obnoxious? I would really like my bike to be "different," I guess you could say. Everyone has the black and red theme on their bike and I'd like to be able to differ myself from that. Lol. And if I had the red hubs and in the future, I got a bike with blue accents or green accents. I'll either look really patriotic or look like a Christmas bike.
(Maybe I'm just coming up with reasons to get the pink hub now. Hahaha.)
Oh, and a buddy of mine has the same frame with red CK hubs laced to HED Belgiums. We're gonna look like twins. Lol.
