Iwan Kemp Posted October 17, 2016 Share Confused, on the Cannondale Website it lists the scalpel 3 as having RR snakeskin tyres and 11/42. I have one on order and was swapping the cassette for a SRAM 10/42 with a 34 chainring. Please confirm which is correct as this report says it has an 11/46 as standard. Cannondale SA have confirmed that the bike will be shipping with a 11-46 cassette and not 11-42 like the early sample we reviewed. I have updated the review accordingly. nickc and pix101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that issue has been addressed as well with the stock spec, then they've really hit the ball out of the park on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted November 7, 2016 Share Collected mine last week Thursday. Rode it on Saturday and its awesome!! Only mini-gripe - not sure I'm sold on the 11-46 cassette. Can someone confirm that a 36T will fit? I was told that 34T is the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBeer Posted November 7, 2016 Share My buddy is enjoying his so much just bought a second one in another colour - supposedly for the Missus but unofficially his training bike Did his first race at Magoebaskloof this weekend and got his best result ever.WTF is a training bike? Does it have balance wheels? nickc, Lexx, Headshot and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalpel Posted November 7, 2016 Share 36 will probably work wit a longer spindle. Does Cannondale make a 36 blade for the Si cranks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted November 7, 2016 Share WTF is a training bike? Does it have balance wheels?Obviously if you a cyclist you need to marry a woman the same size as you, preferably with a large bank balance, though. For this training bike thing to work, that is. I got it totally wrong. MTBeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanD Posted November 11, 2016 Share Guys I need some input please. My carbon 3 is standing at my LBS. I want a 36 chainring for it with the 11/46 that's on the bike. Apparently the oval chainring will not work on the bike due to frame clearance issues as the ring is to wide. Next is to source a 36 round with the cannondale direct mount, any ideas as we are coming up blank. Wolf tooth make a camo system but I have to order in from the states. My last option is to change to SRAM 10/42 and run a 34 chainring. Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
