    Creaky BB-5500

    Buy a set. There will be other things that you want to torque. I probably have lots of extras but not sure I could put together a set for all bike related sizes.

    oddly sized 53cm CAAD4T ?

    In the first years of CAAD4, odd numbered sizes were available to be ordered as framesets. Perhaps that continued to be an option in later years but wasn't promoted in the catalogs.

    I hate it when that happens…

    I was working on a Chinese chain saw yesterday. Couldn't believe how tight a 3 mm screw that doesn't even need to be there was tightened. It just keeps a little plate from falling off when the bar is removed. When the bar is on it can't go anywhere. I had to go get a longer wrench.

    1996 R600

    Not a very good photo but it's my 1998 R4000 stamped 60 at bottom right as you read the numbers. I'v got a bunch of late 90s bikes and I believe they all have the size in this spot.

    I hate it when that happens…

    Wondering if you could re-tap to the next larger fractional size. Autozone used to sell small kits of a single size that weren't very expensive.

    I'm Gonna Break Down and Do It!

    Friend has Zwift and likes it. I don't know if he bought their bike or is using something else.

    Frame size is usually at bottom right as you read the numbers in this era Cannondale.

    Is this OCD?

    I once took a fresh build up to WI to ride with a friend. I'd left the stem slightly loose intending to do that but forgot about it. We were ten miles from his house when the stem came loose and of course I didn't have the tool to tighten it. Got a nice walk out of the deal until we found a...

    Fake Cannondale?

    There's an R800 on eBay that's listed as an XS800. At least it's a Cannondale.

    Is this OCD?

    I often get the stem alignment slightly off with the bike in the stand.

    Hello from Michigan!

    I forgot about Assenmacher. Wasn't sure he was still in business.

    1996 R600

    RX100 gave up very little in performance compared to 105.

    Cannondale SUPER V

    I don't think those RDs were in production for very long. They might have been made after SRAM bought the company. The Sachs brand was quickly phased out.

    Hello from Michigan!

    So the original fork is JIS? I'd contact Doug Fattic in Niles, MI and see if he can cut it down to ISO.

    Rehabilitated Super fork For Sale

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Paul brake. Looks like it has a lot of vertical adjustment. The Shimano brakes I looked at were a long way from having enough adjustment to reach a 700C rim. I'm still on the fence about the fork.

    Rehabilitated Super fork For Sale

    Thanks. I'm wondering if there's a chance that a V brake will have enough adjustment to work on a 700C rim. I can check that on one of my bikes.

    Cannondale XS800

    Looks great and it's the first year for them I think. I'd certainly ride it some but not so much as to put much wear on it. I rode my 2001 XS Friday.

    Hi from Oregon

    I've owned 5 older Cannondale CX frames and a 2011 CAADX. I much prefer the geometry of the CAADX to the older frames. Versatile frame that can be used for fast road rides to light touring.
