Stem for 2013 Cannondale Synapse

[Marlin89]

I am desperately trying to find a new stem for my 2013 Cannondale Synapse. It is an aero shape and I have been told by several bike shops that Cannondale don't make them any longer. I am most unimpressed that a premium brand like Cannondale can't supply what I need. Can anyone out there help me PLEASE. I have race coming up in 3 weeks and have been struggling to source a new stem for 10 days with no luck.

I can't see any reason why you can't use any road bike stem on your Synapse. I'm riding the 2015 Synapse Disc version & it's running a standard interchangeable stem.

Aero shape stem?  I'm confused........
On a 9 year old Synapse?..........more confused.......

Aero was not even invented in 2013 yet.  And the Synapse is the LEAST aero bike of all the Cannondales......it's a touring bike designed for comfort.

Take any stem (If you want aero, go for the new Enve stem) and chuck it on there and be done with it. 🤙

You seriously cannot expect any brand to manufacture any 1 specific product 9 years down the line? Surely?

Just buy any stem and fit it?
