The only changes from stock are the Fizik Arione saddle, matching bar tape, and blue Conti GP 4000 tires. I'd like to upgrade wheels to somethings like Boyd Altamont or Dura Ace C24/C35, but I'm not sure it would be money wisely spent as the engine is what really needs the work.
Besides, I'm only about 140lbs and I'm not sure I could handle aero wheels in some of the winds here.

Why are they still persisting with that Prologo ass-hatchet? Did somebody in the Dale OEM department lose a bet?

I ride a Selle Italia SLS Kit Carbonio Flow which is slightly lighter and worlds more comfy

I'm trying out one of these; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
1 ride so far that got better as it went, initial thoughts aren't great, but for $12, you literally can't go wrong. It's still better than the Prologo by a factor of comfy chair vs iron maiden.

Hi all,
First post here, so sorry if this has been covered in the annals of Caad Cult history.
I've had a bit of a saga putting my Caad10 Di2 build together, specifically with the bottom bracket. Seeming as I opted for Ultegra 6870 I had to get a Praxis bottom bracket converter which arrived last week. The problem is, once I'd run all of the internal cabling and joined it at the bottom bracket, I noticed that the cabling obstructs the bottom bracket shell.
Problem is the praxis runs flush into the bb shell, meaning it would hit the wires on the way in. Left it at the LBS and he's calling C-Dale today to see if there's a workaround. Anybody have experience with this particular issue?
Thanks in advance

The Praxis conversion BB has holes to run internal cabling through.
The sleeve is used for PF30 frames (EVO, Super 6). You won't be needing if for the CAAD 10 which uses BB30.

Sweet bike....I personally think that the CAAD bikes are the best performance bang for your buck in the bike world today....one of the things I did that immediately improved the performance of my CAAD was stripping the Luganos off, putting 25mms on (Continental Ultra Race ---my fav tire out there---another huge bang for your buck) and running them at 100 psi. Plush and fast!

Dumb question, wouldn't threading the cables through mean that they rub on the spindle?

My CAAD 10 105, bought it this year. Unfortunately its too big for me, and I had to sell it. Was a 63cm, now riding a 58cm Cervelo R3. Would have loved to keep the bike though, it was an amazing ride

Pretty sure outside of the subtle CAAD10 on the seat stays, the headtube badge and a small cannondale along the top tube, there aren't. 2014 graphics were berzerker green, i believe previous years were gold or silver.
That looks like a CAAD10-3 (Ultegra) frame built up with 6800 ultegra or an older CAAD10-1 (DuraAce) frame.

Did the conversion with the same Praxis BB. You need to make the BB sleeve holes lined up with the downtube and seat tube holes.
FWIW, I put 2 layer (max.) of teflon tape on each end of the sleeve to eliminate creaking. Despite what Praxis claimed, it still creaks. Or it used to, until I put that teflon tape. A teammate runs the same BB as well. His creaks as well.

^ sweet ride. At first glance, I thought I saw a fender on the front wheel as that crack in the wall is placed just so.
