The Cult of CAAD...

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 agree with everything they're saying, but I use the app Strava and LOVE it. I've paired it with a life proof case and handlebar mount (has a quick release for the mount so you don't have to unscrew it to get it off your handlebars) and it hasn't been an issue at all. I do have 4GB of data per month though, it eats a lot of data if you ride a lot.

Strava does not use any data for capturing your ride. It only relies on GPS signal. File uploads once complete can be done on wifi but the files are still relatively small.

Good to know, may be worth looking into why my data usage was so much higher when I used it more...thanks for the info!

I love strava just for the data, when I got chased by a massive pit bull you could see the jump in power on the strava map.

How many grams did you lose with the Nondale fork?

Have you noticed any other differences on the road compared to the stock fork? E.g stiffness, comfort, handling?

About the bike computers on a CAAD 10, I purchased a Cannondale branded computer, wireless, and no cadence, The temperature readout went South in 2 months and now I am getting an ERROR01 readout while I am riding. Going to talk to my LBS this weekend about the malfunctions and if this under warranty. It is only 5 months old so it should be. Frustrating, I can live without the thermometer but the ERROR01 in the function line is disconcerting.

The 3 things I have by Cannondale, bike, saddle bag & floor pump, have all been excellent so far. Hopefully your LBS makes good on the computer.

Fantastic picture. I was going to get my SS 105 in the flat black, but I might decide on the "team" colors just because of this picture.

Wow that's a great compliment to Mr Gasper! Great 1st post. Welcome to the forum!

(Personally I would have gone with the SS though )

Lol I'm still getting the SS. But the SS-5 comes in either those colors or a flat black. Been a back and forth debate as to what color to get.

Nothing special compared to other members' upgraded bikes in this thread! It's going to take me months to save just for a decent set of wheels!

I think I lost 103g, I know the Evo fork weighs 289 (ridiculous), everything else is the same. Its the right rake and everything for the size.

An Evo fork actually looks pretty slick on a CAAD10 frame, despite the missing "Can."

I like the bike, but I'm a little disturbed by the zero setback post with saddle slammed all the way forward.

I was fit with my saddle slammed forward too. I wish Cervelo made a zero offset post for the S2.

Sorry for the Cervelo in the CAAD thread...
