Most I've heard of are 28s, depending on how much they expand to when inflated.

Tire info please? How much space did it leave?

My 2011 CAAD-10-5. When I bought it, I had gotten back into cycling and being a tech...when I had left cycling, carbon was still pretty scary and I wasn't ready to bite that bullet yet. Put a lot of miles on this and still have it, but she is in storage these days as we can only fit 4 bikes in the condo haha. It only comes out for Cat6 racing ( ;) ) as I don't want to risk the carbon.
Upgrades included Ultegra brakes, 25mm Mavic Ksyrium Elites, and a Red carbon crank. Managed to get the weight down to 17.6 with cages and pedals, not too bad for an aluminum frame bike. Photo was taken before some changes. https://i.imgur.com/8WVolMFh.jpg?1 |
I had a chance to trade an old (although very nice) steel Trek for a 20 year old CAAD 2. And I jumped at the chance.

I would like a brand new CAAD 12 frame

Just took delivery of a 2019 CAAD12 Ultegra with rim brakes. Loving the bike so far, but the ride can be a bit harsh over rough pavement. The bike came with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Slick in size 25c on Fulcrum Racing Sport 15c rims. Does anyone know about this rim and tire combination as far as ride quality is concerned?
Also, how wide a tire will actually fit on this bike? Will Continental 4000sii in size 28c fit, even though they're actually a little wider than 28? Thank you, |

Weren't the Ultegra brake calipers updated after your bike was produced to accept wider tires?

I just put 28's on my 2016 Caad12 Ultegra and there is some rubbing but the ride is amazing. I have 28's in the back and 23's up front.

Loving the look of some of the older CAADs in this thread!! Been trolling through for a while but so many colors I've never seen before. Wondering if anyone has a anything CAAD 4+ in 56cm that they're looking to let go of. I currently have a R2000 CAAD 4 in Team Blue that is a smidge big. So I'm looking for a frame for the components to live on. Let me know, and apologies/feel free to delete if this is not a good spot to post this. I've seen a couple on Ebay but figured CAAD folk would have the low down. Thanks!

Got new rims for my CAAD12 this weekend

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b9a0519cf8.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2d90628ad3.jpg My local bike shop finished up building my new rims up, now the CAAD12 us using HED. Belgium plus rims with BHS hubs. I originally had the crappy Maddux 2.0 disc wheels, the difference between the two is night and day. The rolls faster thanks to the sealed bearing hubs and corners much more confidently than with the older OEM wheels. Money well spent in my opinion. |
I picked up a 2015 CAAD10 Black Inc. Disc back in April (feels like February or March it's been so long) when it was, naturally, still cold and wet. I may be in my 30s, but I come from restoring and building many a C&V steed, vintage Cannondales included. Black Inc. seems to me to be the second coming of the "Black Lightning" black/gold color scheme, just spread to more models. I really freaking dig it. I was looking at going to a disc bike for my next build to expand my horizons and see what the fuss was about, especially with regard to braking performance in the rain, which, as anyone who commutes year round in the northern states/rainy areas can tell you, braking in the rain is no fun. Add in the steep hills and busy city traffic in and around Seattle, and it's critical to be able to haul yourself down in a hurry, with confidence.
Well, I figured 11-speed would be part of the deal, and it was. Along with internal cable routing, hydraulic disc (on top of just a "disc brake" criteria), and BB30. The learning curve looked more like a cliff to climb! This was especially true as I would be doing all the research and leg work to figure out, source, purchase (used components only, minus tubes, chain), and build the bike. And well, after many months, including a brief summer hiatus as I worked to obtain the correct brake calipers (mountain bike style 74mm center-to-center, M6 bolt interface **post mount** BR-RS785, NO banjo bolt), I was able to sell other bike parts and fully fund this build. The goal was to fund it and have an a la carte build for a fraction of a full-zoot Sram Red 22 Hydro Disc CAAD10 Black. Mission accomplished on all fronts, even if I did take the bike to a good shop to hook up, fill, and bleed the hydraulic brake lines. I did the final assembly and bedding-in of the brake pads+rotors. This brace of modern tech (on top of plenty of 7/8/9/10-speed build experience prior) was daunting and with a good bit of money and time into it, a little intimidating. Thankfully, the bedding in went well (I followed the directions), though certainly very interesting to have to do! The following test ride (a 3.7 mile loop) went very well. This CAAD is certainly a 'platform' in that it is very stable and sweeps and surges upon intentional steering and out-of-the-saddle acceleration/climbing efforts. Due to the low-cut steerer, my saddle-to-bar height drop is the most extreme of all my rides, but it looks great and is comfortable. This is a bike you can ride for a long time, and although it is the start of eternal rain up here, I still want to get it out every chance I can. Such a great bike!! 2015 Cannondale CAAD10 Black Inc.

I search through Craigslist EVERY day.... most days twice or more. Always looking for a bike that can use a little fixing up or is otherwise a great buy. A bike I'd enjoy.... not just wrenching on... but also owning riding. I found a 2015 CAAD 10, 105. In perfect condition (owner said 21 mile, and I believe him). I changed the pedals out to the brand/style I use, adjusted the saddle, and have (since the pic below) changed the water bottle cage and removed wheel reflectors. It rides great. I could see this bike replace my daily rider (and I love my daily rider). https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8632341895.jpg CAAD10 I have the same colourway, and love it, but I had to ditch the schwalbes and, most of all, the prologo saddle. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...02d72f4c2f.jpg |
