Cannondale Factory Racing Team Bike Check

There is also the air filter above the boot, covers a vent hole. That has to be checked and oiled up as well. The fork is not waterproof, thats why you need to keep it from not running dry. Trust me on that one! I managed to seize a DLR, but then used the opportunity to upgrade to a Fox RLC 110.

 

Yes - thanks I forgot to mention that one.

Sounds like the previous owner maybe missed out on maintenance there. I have ridden horribly we races and never had an issue, just keep it clean and lubed. Make sure you have the little clamps rather than the zip ties.

 

Didn't miss out on maintenance but took weight saving to the extreme.

He had it at sub7kg's.

 

But we didn't like the sound of that much.

turns out the bb had been replaced with a road one.

Seatpost had been cut...(just ordered another from the US at vast expense)

Ahh okay - hopefully you can get everything set up better and more reliable. That is one seriously light bike.
