Can find the exact part now but youll get my drift http://www.cannondaleexperts.com/Cannondale-Hardtail-Plastic-Chainstay-Protector--1A501BLK_p_1543.html What chainstay protectors do you guys use? I used to do the "wrap-an-old-tube-around-it" method, but the bike is just so pretty... Watcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 14, 2013 Share She looks good, but what is wrapped around the top of the Lefty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meentb Posted October 14, 2013 Share She looks good, but what is wrapped around the top of the Lefty? Knew I'm going to get this question. Its a piece of cloth I used when I transported the bike on a mates carrier. And I just left it there. Did a whole sani with me. So it's a bit of a luck charm.

Caltrigger Posted October 14, 2013 Share I could make you one of these!? It stays put, easy to keep clean and works like a dream!! And it flexes with the stay! Oh.... and it looks as good as the bike! http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab275/caltrigger/Cannondale%20MTB/ChainProtector.jpg PM me if you want one!

Lefty V Posted October 14, 2013 Share What chainstay protectors do you guys use? I used to do the "wrap-an-old-tube-around-it" method, but the bike is just so pretty... Same thoughts here. Cannondale could possibly spend a little effort on some nice chain stay protectors and also cable guide sollutions around the Lefty. I have seen so many that are rubbed to **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty V Posted October 14, 2013 Share How many use the SAVE seatpost....without getting into a debate as to if it works for us...? Picked up a Save for my Carbon 3 at a bargain EUR110 from my (substitute) LBS in Germany, but have to wait until December to get back to SA to actually fit and ride it . I did test one on a Carbon 2 earlier this year and it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted October 14, 2013 Share Chainstay protection: I use the Nukepr0of wrap around velcroed glove thingy on both my Scalpel and Flash, rugged and does the job. http://www.mountainbikebitz.com/images/products/2012_Nukeproof_Logo_Chain_Stay_Protector_MTB_Frames_Spare.jpg I see Cannondale also does one: Cannondale Neoprene Chainstay Slapper Protector Morse - SLPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watcher Posted October 14, 2013 Share I bought these two items. http://www.cannondal...P125_p_254.html And then something similar to this. Can find the exact part now but youll get my drift http://www.cannondal...BLK_p_1543.html Couldn't recommend this protection enough (1st Item), My Son did an OTB on his flash 1 at a recent race, got back on & realized the chain had come off, reset everything & carried on "balls to the wall". We got home from the race & he called me over while washing the bike to show me the metal protector - it was bent buckled & dented all to hell, even pulled away from the frame. I cant imagine what would have happened to the chainstay had it not been there. Have already ordered a new one and at around R200 I reckon it's worth worth every cent! nickc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty V Posted October 14, 2013 Share For cable - frame - lefty rubbing protection, I use these 3m products Cannondale Clear 3M Frame Protector Guard 8 piece - KF103Ja, doing the same, I just think it would be nice to have a std solution on the bike as sold since this is something peculiar to the Lefty. I like what some of the other manufacturers are doing in terms of these small touches - Like Specialized's chain stay protectors on the Stumpjumper HT or Merida and Canyon's way of making sure you cannot knock your top tube with your bar. But not a big issue, just thinking aloud at the end of a long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted October 25, 2013 Share Water bottle cage inside frame... Hi guys So popped past shop today, make sure all is ready for hand over tomorrow, had a bottle cage fitted to spots designed for it, and damm, we could not eve get a small bottle/750ml in and out, shock is in the way. So asked guys to fit a bracket to seat tube and fit cage behind/below seat. What does most do... how do you get bottle in and out if cage fitted inside frame/below shock?
