2010 Cannondale Capo

General Post your ride
1

Got this just over a year ago because it was the last of the ‘handmade in USA’ frames from Cannondale…it has endured more punishment than I ever expected from an aluminium frame (including being hit by 2 cars and a couple of nasty crashes one of which dented the top tube).

Doesnt have the wank points of an early 90’s Cannondale Track but it rides just the same (I used to hit the boards on my cousin’s Track many years ago). Stiff and responsive…and painful on your lower back after about 60kms.

Sweet spacer stack x drop stem collabo :frowning: Good rig. I like the use of sprinkler.

3

is nice. fix chain tension.

4

May be the first ever appearance of look deltas and rizors…

5

Shoulda put the drops on for photos skeeter!

6

Better than road cleats and pox ridden hybrid combo, see it all the time on my commute. Someone in my building is rockin da deltah’s on a mongoose mozza…

7

track slack brah! haha.

8

If that is too slack, I’m in trouble.

9

you think this chain is slack? i wouldn’t want mine much tighter than this.
also, i’m a big fan of the capo’s aesthetics, so this gets my thumbs up!

    1. I always go for slack enough to roll efficiently whilst tight enough not to jump off. Means regular adjustment but, meh, I’d rather not push an inefficiently adjusted drivetrain for 50+km.
11

Exactly, my chainline doesnt warrant having it too tight else my drivetrain sounds like the midnight meat train.

The Look Deltas work a lot better than the Eggbeaters I had on previously…HLC can vouch for that!

12

haha fly kick your front spokes, then superman into the air

13

+1

Since when have you been riding with risers!

14

re: chain tension, i run mine tight enough so it dosnt ‘droop’, but not tight so it binds. Never had noise issues? How tight can you actually set it using hands anyways!

ps, still a sweet build dude.

15

How would you know Jase? You don’t ride your bikes! :wink:

16

hahaha…

17

This. Then again mine is on the track so it can be a bit loose.
And for the record, Look Delta’s are still fucking awesome.

18

Excatly what this guy says.
I have it just to the point where there is no ‘droop’ just cause i don’t like the ‘droop’. Spins fine and is super quiet.

19

siQ hed3 :wink: needs more 90gi’s though haha.

20

So much better/comfortable with my broke wrist and all.

90 GIs Kiasu…nizza is you high?
