  1. Cannondale is making road cycling more inviting and efficient than ever before with the launch of the reimagined Synapse road bike and new SmartSense technology. View full article
  2. Still trying my hand for my very first build project. Converting a 2010 Cannondale Trail F4 SL MTB to a “gravel bike”. Think its more like trying to get it the same as my Giant ATX 760 in the 90’s with a rigid fork. Anyway, I digressed. Need to get reducer cups or new headset to be able to fit new fork (1.5” to tapered or 1 1/8). Was thinking Cane Creek 40something Done the research: asking to confirm that I got the type right please? What type of headset is it? There are three types of headset, IS (Integrated System), EC (External Cup) and ZS (Zero Stack). Integrated headsets have the bearing cups pre-built into the head tube. You simply drop the bearings in and you're away (This isn't the Cannondale Trail SL). External cup headsets are pressed into the frame (commonly also known as press-fit headsets) and the bearings sit outside of the frame. Zero stack headsets are the half-way house. They are pressed into the frame and the bearing is generally within the frame too. From the images of my bike I would say Zero Stack. That right? Thanks!
  3. Hi everyone, not sure if this is the best place to post this but I came across someone trying to sell a bike today that I think was stolen. It is a very unique bike and seemed to be well-loved, hence my thoughts on why it is odd that the owner was trying to sell it. The bike is a red Cannondale R300, that has been converted to a one-by with a Shimano XT (I think M8000 Derailleur and cassette) drivetrain, and a cSixx front chainring that was inverted. It also had flat Easton bars on it. Very similar to the picture below, with a slimmer seat, black foam grips and the one-by drivetrain. Let me know if this is actually is a stolen bike.
  4. ROLA Motor Group are putting their money where their mouth is in a big way by supporting some of SA’s best athletes. In a sport where sponsorship is often hard to come by it is great to see a company backing our local cycling legends as much as they do. We caught up with Alan Hatherly after he took delivery of his Toyota Hilux 2.4 GD6 double cab to chat about 2020 as a pro rider and what he has lined up for the future with his new team, Cannondale Factory Racing.

  6. Hello all, I am looking at investing in a road bike with the idea to use it for the next decade, at least. I am weighing up two options, the Cannondale super six carbon (2015), 10-speed, which has american classic wheels, easton carbon handle bars and comes with a left-crank watt meter... compared to a Merida Scultura 4000 (2016), 11-speed, which has upgrades of campagnolo chorus parts. The Merida is about R3000 cheaper, when comparing both bikes as is. Any advice? I am waiting to hear whether a 52/36 crankset can fit the Merida, otherwise it will come with compact crank. Cannondale has a 52/36 already. Both bikes are second hand
  7. Evening all. I’m thinking of doing an everesting, and I was hoping to find out if I could convert my Supersix’s 53/39 spidering on si sl2 cranks to a 1x MTB chainring, I’m thinking 30t cannondale spidering. The reason I want to do this is because I am running campy super record and my max rear cog is 29, and this seems like a cheaper option if possible than a drivetrain upgrade. If you have any knowledge on the topic, please let me know!
  8. I found this Cannondale on the FB marketplace with cryptically little written about it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1337450769777748/ in case anyone is on the lookout for this bike.
  9. Cannondale lifted the lid on their all-new Scalpel cross-country race bike today. The latest Scalpel has a completely new suspension design, updated geometry, and has managed to shed those all-important grams. Click here to view the article
  10. In 2016 they finished fourth. In 2017 they finished fifth. In 2018 they stepped onto the podium, finishing third. In 2019 they went one better, earning the silver medal. The question for the 2020 Absa Cape Epic is if Cannondale Factory Racing can add the names "Manuel Fumic and Henrique Avancini" to the race's list of overall winners. Click here to view the article
  11. Hi all I have in the past posted some photos in the Cannondale thread, but thought I'd add a little more detail here. My hope is to go under 5kgs by the end of the year. A little bit about me, I grew up in Cape Town and now live in London, so sourcing parts has been a little easier for this build, as eBay 2nd hand items have been great. Now, to the bike. The frame is a 2012 Supersix Evo HiMod. I had all the paint stripped by a custom paint shop in the UK. It was done by hand with sandpaper. Initially I planned on building this bike up mechanically, but I got a good deal on an eTAP group so went done the electronic road. The wheels are sub 1kg, along with sub 200gram tubs and 33gram(for the pair) skewers. The cassette is a SeqLite Alloy cassette weight just over 120grames, this means as a complete unit, the wheels are just over 1500grams. The bars are 3T ergonova 420mm nd weigh 193grams. The stem is a 3t Arx II in 130mm -17. I will be replacing the bar and stem with Bontrager's XXX Bar/Stem combo, which should save me around 100grams. Currently the bolts in the stem are hollow, and you can see through the center of them. I recently replaced the seatpost but have not yet trimmed it down so cannot comment on the weight. The sdalle is a Chinese copy of a Fizik Arione, but is pure carbon and weighs 115grams. the brakes are KCNC CB1, they were originally Zero Gravity Ti, but I was able to save around 30grams, and as this is a summer only bike, I can live with the braking quality (or lack there of) of the KCNC's Crank is a Cannondale SiSL2 50/34 and attached to that are Look Keo Blade Ti 20NM pedals. The bottle cage along witht he seatpost clamp and seatpost are all from a British lightweight tuning company called Mt.Zoom. The cage is 11grams and the seat clamp is 6 with a Ti bolt. I am on the hunt for the new style fork, as that will save around 50-60grams over my current one. Prior to the new seatpost, which Im hoping will save me around 20grams, the bike was sitting at 5.18kgs on the scales I do not have an up to date build list, but the build and progress can be viewed here: https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=148290 I look forward to dragging this up all the hills I can find in CT at the end of the year, as I am home for Xmas. If anyone fancies a ride and a coffee, hit me up.
  12. Manuel Fumic is no stranger to South African audiences with memorable performances in the Absa Cape Epic while Maxime Marotte has been a solid podium performer on the international XCO circuit for a number of years. We tracked down their race bikes at the team house ahead of the Stellenbosch World Cup. View full article
  13. Cannondale have been brave with the new Scalpel-Si. While many manufacturers remain committed to the traditional cross-country / marathon bike formula, Cannondale have clearly taken a page from the progressive geometry book, packaging it into a serious race bike. We can only hope that this translates to fewer queues and more smiles on the single track at our local marathon events. Click here to view the article
