It's fine for now but once you settle on your position you should cut the steerer tube so there are no spacers above the stem. The way cannondale uses an expansion plug you want it to be low enough to support both the stem bolts (as they instruct in the manual). If you don't already get a 5nm torque key as it's great for stems and seatpost adjustments.

So one would just walk into their LBS and ask, "Can you cut my steerer tube?" What are the costs, procedures, and things that the bike owner should look out for to make sure the job is done correctly? I'm asking here first because my LBS is not the LBS I bought my CAAD10 from.

Found this tunnel on a ride today! Stoked because it was a solid 95+ out.

Yeah the bike looks gorgeous, the tires not so much. What tires did it come with?

this bike has A LOT of HOT potential!!! I dislike the hoods, but that a personal thing. it does set it apart from all other blk/white cadd10's, that's for sure. I think the angle you took the picture at makes the bars look odd. I'd love to see this bike in a photo taken level with the bars. |
Fellow cultists, i am on the market for a new/slightly used CAAD10.
Can some one point me to a site which could be offering a good deal, preferably to deliver internationally. thanks. |

Photo album 4 months of work went into this bike, collecting and waiting for parts. The result came out pretty good in the end, but there are just a few minor tweaks to be made. I hate to parrot back Cannondale's marketing schtick- but the CAAD10 is really as good a bike as many high-priced carbon frames out there. I figured it was a better idea to spend the money on getting some of the best parts and an amazing wheelset. The CAAD10 so far has proved itself worthy of all these high-end parts, and I would do it again. |
