  14. The bike might actually noy be trailing right... Meaning, front and rear wheel is not running in the same line... Possibly a frame or fork alighnment problem... Unfortunately the sollution to that is expensive(New frame or fork expensive!!) Cheapest option... Have a good wheelbuider check the dish on your wheels....and align them accordingly...!! Good luck!!
  15. I've done this , the outcome is just fine!! No problems at all! The resin is in no way affected by the stripper. Be however be carefull when you remove the blisterred paint, don't scrape or damage the carbon!! Unlike clear carbon frames, painted carbon frames don't have a cosmetic layer of carbon to protect the structural cabon layers beneath, so in effect, any carbon damage will be structural damage!! Good Luck!! It will look Great!
  16. I've tried them, Cornering is crap!! No corner knobs Casing is heavy, yet no puncture protection...? Endless Difficulty in converting to tubeless...!! lots!! Rubber dries out very quickly... All & all a &^$&%$ tyre..!! Don't buy it!!
  17. Try PRODUX cycles in Killarney gardens, he might just be able to help. They work with carbon bikes etc. he might even sort it out for you??
  18. Just an observation....??
  19. So.... The Broken right leg in the bottom pic, has nothing to do with the broken righthand chainstay...??
  20. Hi Ruan, Tell me....... did your friend take the photos of the frame?
  21. 6000-series is aluminum alloyed mainly with magnesium, and tends to be a bit more ductile (for instance, it would be more apt to wilt or buckle than to snap, compared to 7000-series). 7000-series aluminum is alloyed primarily with zinc. It tends to be harder and stronger but perhaps more brittle. Excellent material for chainrings due to its hardness, too.
  22. Excellent paintjob!! I did however notice a small little something ... ... ... ??? I know you are an avid Cannondale man, and so am I!! Can you spot the "NOT"in the picture below....??? Cycle Art should know..... They know Cannondales inside out ... ... ??? ANSWER BELOW PIC All Cannondale roadbikes have their name font in small letters. CANNONDALE mountainbikes always have the name in capitals .. .. !! Just a little bit of trivia!! Still, the bike looks excellent!! Well Done!!
  23. ......................................SCALPEL !!!
