Been filling the thread lately but I guess this is the place to do it. Terrible quality sorry.

around what time will cannondale release 2014 caad10?

Around September

So, I guess I'm back to wanting CK hubs for the CAAD but I'm stuck between the ever so popular color, red, or pink hubs. I'm really intrigued at the thought of pink hubs on an all black bike.



Thoughts?

goodies.

The spoke nipples and little bits like cable ends....are those pink or Red? I don't have the best eye's. Look red to me, so stay with that theme. I know the red CK hubs are popular but your bike is not the most common bike on the road if we're talking any where from Richmond down to the hampton roads area. 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.

In that case if you're going all black with pinks hubs it'll be pretty sweet. I say go for it. If I had that frame I would want lime green myself, does CK have a lime green option?

oh, and if you get pink hubs get pink bar end plugs. and leave it at that.

I dig the bike, especially since it isn't some big $ carbon bike. You have done a nice job with it. It also helps that you have a very aggressive set up, that will help most bikes. Red or pink hubs would look good. Nagrom has an all black caad10 with red hubs, you can search through a couple pages back and see what that would look like. I think pink would look good if done right. pink hubs and dare I say pink bartape? I'd probably keep it simple though and have just pink hubs while keeping all else black.

As for lime green hubs, no they dont unless they have some sort of special edition, but it is not a regular option in the R45 hub choice.

Awesome, guys. Thanks! I think I'll do pink. I just wanted to make sure that the pink hubs on all black is subtle and not obnoxious like, "HEY! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MY BIKE!" I'd really hate that. Lol. I just think the pink would stand out in a good way where people will see that I have pink hubs and say, "Oh, he has a custom built wheelset." Hopefully that's how it will turn out. Lol.

It's going to look good, make sure you share it once it's all done and installed. and hey, your bike will really be a big hit come October.

I definitely will! Thanks for your honest opinions.

Hah, I hate to be a downer on all the completely valid comments and opinions so far so please only take mine with a grain of salt.

When I look at your bike as it is now, I think wow that's a sweet B/W build with subtle hints of grey/sliver in there. I rarely think this but in a few cases I find grey/silver to be an awesome "accent color"; that's how I feel with your bike. If it were me, I'd stick with black or dark grey hubs. I'd also try to seek out some dark grey/silver cable ends and black bar end plugs.

Edit: Actually on closer inspection I see that the end plugs are already black. Nice. I'm loving the dark grey bar tape though.

The bar tape is actually black. I think the lighting is making them appear to be gray. Haha.

Lizard skins tape never looks gray

Great Picture ! And Bike !
A lot of nice upgrades !

Any of my CAAD10 brethren riding a triple crankset? I'm guessing I'm a unicorn among CAAD owners.

Thank you.

I think the compact crank as pretty much wiped out the triple crank

No doubt, and we could have 100 pages of debate on it. I personally like the triple much better. I won't go into details, as it would derail this thread.

Specific to the CAAD10, outside using an adapter (like I do), I only know of one triple BB30 crank (the FSA Energy). I didn't even know that model existed until I looked on some UK pages - I don't think they even tried to market it here in the US.

Also WiFLi with large range cassette wipes out the need for a triple

any new pics of new 2014 caad10? any new changes?

thanks, any team replica color?

I'm pretty sure the white/black/green (CAAD10 105, previous link) is the new team color.
