Upilu, I think it's safe to say that you've pretty much lost all credibility in this thread, lol

Jk, I'm just trolling

What would you say if I claimed that the paper was PS'ed in?

they were experiments to view how it could seem the bike with high profile wheels and to help me to choice the size of the profile.

Ps original crack! Everithing is stock except saddle,wheels and cassette sprocket (campagnolo record for now)

This crossed my mind too...I hope things are legit now but I wouldn't bet my saddle on it.

One thing is for certain, no matter how many times you got called out on your PS picts, you admitted to it later (I still dont why you couldn't have said it was a PS picture in the first place) and still came back for more. I think a lot of people would run away ashamed and embarrassed.

Keep the PS out of it and keep us updated on future upgrades. :thumb:

Hey guy's, one of the guy's that rides with us on group rides picked up a 2007 CAAD8, the seller he got it from didn't know if the bike was a 56 or 58 and the sticker is no longer on the bike. I don't have thr trained eye yet to be able to look at the 56 and 58 and know the difference. Is there a way to find out without just breaking out the measuring tape? is it somewhere on the bike other than that sticker that comes on the seat tube? Thanks...

Sorry, but it's very hard to make that call, especially between adjacent sizes, even with trained eyes. Extreme sizes, i.e. 48 (small) and 58+ (large), are easier to spot though.

FIFY :)

So let me officially(?) welcome Upilu to the cult :D

I'm too pumped for my CAAD10 to come in tomorrow, are there any more pictures of the raw 4 series floating around that haven't been posted yet?

If you mean CAAD10-4 when you say 4 series, the 2013 10-4 didn't come in raw...it comes in black/white or black/yellow. the 10-5, 10-3, and 10-2 comes in the black/raw color.

Hi All,

Will the stock wells on the 2013 CAAD 10 5 hold up to a 270lb rider for a while or do I need to swap them out right off the bat? Please let me know. Thanks!

The RS-10's that come with it should fine...

Yeah sorry, I posted the other day what I bought. Kind of forgot to be specific. I bought a 2012 CAAD10 4 in raw. I've seen a few of them on here already, just seeing if there are other pictures I may have missed.

Thanks Boom

I agree, the RS10s are a solid wheel. If you want to buy an extra set for insurance, I've seen them go for $50-$80 a set on ebay. Mine are hanging in the garage...I might use them for the NYC Five Boro Tour in case I fall into a NY pothole.

I was 278 lbs when I got my 2012 CAAD 10 4 last January and the Fulcrum Racing7 held my just fine without any spokes needing retensioning or a wheel truing. The 2013 10 5 wheels should hold up just fine for you, just keep an eye on the spokes during your maintenance and don't let the wheel trueness get out of hand. Just keep a wheelset that has a higher spoke count when you upgrade if you haven't shed a lot of weight by then. I have lost 46 lbs since last July so far with my riding and dietary restrictions for health reasons. You will lose too if you ride and eat sensibly. Best of luck with the bike, CAAD series bikes are some of the best there are, I love mine.

Do you have a tape measure?

Obviously I didnt read to the end of the post, sorry =P

I'm going to say no. I started at 260. The RS's have quite a few spoke issues. Do yourself a favor

After the 2012 NYC Five Boro Tour - my RS-10 rear wheel looked like a pretzel.

But that's because I crashed...

I was with the 20-or-so riders in the lead group, with a line of police cars ahead, clearing the way. Felt like I was leading the Tour De France! :D:D

Then at 22mph on I-278, 8 miles from the end and the first time I've ridden on an Interstate, the guy in front of me touched the wheel of the guy ahead of him - and they both came down. I managed to swerve and avoid, but the guy behind me wasn't quick enough on his brakes and that was the end of my ride.

I was short of funds at the time and just replaced it with an RS-20.

OFF ROAD CAAD ing in the mountains of Provence

beautiful scenery! Nice CAAD too! :thumb:

Thanks honestly its the best bike I've ever had, 20 years ago I could do the 8km climb to 600m in 15 minutes, then gradually this increased to 22-24 mins with age be it 531, Columbus, aluminium or carbon, now with the CAAD10 I'm down to 18 mins without any effort.

Nice! Looks like a fun ride. Your CAAD looks great as well! I haven't seen the white/red with red hoods. Dare I say, I like it. Some how I feel like if I gave it a shot, it wouldn't work though. I might have to look into it though.

They sent you a cat-in-the-box?

The phone rep misheard CAAD.
