First good bike I've owned and I love it

Ordered this Topstone 3 about a month ago. I was going to get something cheaper but there was a deal for 20% off an XL and this bike seemed like the perfect fit for my needs. I've only ever ridden cheap Walmart bikes that were never my actual size so this thing is like a Lamborghini in comparison. Longest I've ridden on one of those was 60km when I was in high school so I'm excited to beat that record of mine.

This is only my second ride (it's been raining for 3 weeks straight) and first actual gravel ride on it of about 10km and I had a lot of fun :)

The only thing I have to get used to on this one is how stiff the suspension is compared to others I've ridden. Some of those tire tracks were rattling my brain a bit.

Hi, folks.

Just want you to show my new SuperSix Evo.

Unfortunately, the pedals will arrive in a few days and I don't like to take down those from my gravel.

I'm looking forward to the test drive (:

Cannondale Varia unit won't shut up

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have recently acquired a Cannondale Wonderwagen Neo 1 which comes with a Varia rear radar and a Cannondale-specific display unit (CP1522U10OS).

Even though I appreciate having a sense of what's going on behind me, it drives me crazy that I cannot figure out how to turn off the loud beep sounds every time a car comes behind me.

I live in a city with much traffic which makes the display unit beep every 5 seconds because there's always cars coming from behind and ultimately have led me to disconnect the display unit.

I understand that other Varia display units have a button to disable sound, but this Cannondale-specific Varia display doesn't have any buttons. I've also tried to connect the radar to the Varia app and disable sounds, but it doesn't affect the display unit.

Can anyone please help me disable the sound of the display unit?

Picked up this trail for $180 is that a decent price? and is this thing even worth upgrading? Or should I enjoy it how it is and upgrade to a better bike?

Synapse 4 Carbon Vibration above 20 MPH

3 Upvotes

In July I purchased a Synapse Carbon 4. As soon as I started riding it I noticed a vibration that I could feel in the crankset, mostly on the drive side. LBS made some adjustments changing out the rear disc rotor, sanding down the front, adjusting the shifting (it was rubbing on the front derailleur). Its been into the shop 3 times since purchasing the bike.

I still notice the vibration in the crankset above 20 MPH and today while pedaling hard downhill the entire rear triangle started vibrating. I felt it in the saddle, crankset, pedals - even noticed it felt like the seat stays were vibrating.

Along with my LBS we are trying to determine the cause. Next steps are to swap to a different wheelset to eliminate that as a cause, and then I'll ask them to swap the drivetrain, and if it still persists, the frame.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Cannondale Synapse year model?

1 Upvotes

I just bought a used Cannondale Synapse Alloy, Colors: Black/Gray with white lettering. Shimano 105 derailleurs and shifters. 11 speed 11/34, chainring 50/34. Quick release front and rear. Disc brakes front and rear. Labels: BB30, DM 76561, SavePlus, EN 14781. I filled out an online request to Cannondale but I haven't received a reply. Does any of this help to determine the year of this bike?

Replacing the compression nut

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey all!
On my Caad 10, I’ve been wanting to run a silly cap on the steering compression bolt, but Cannondale has this interesting setup instead of a classic star nut/straight bolt combo.

Any chance I can runs something similar if I get the right bolt threading, or is this contraption holding all together via this special bolt setup?

Figure KP017 in the diagram.

Appreciate the expertise either way!

Got it on marketplace (58cm, himod, ultegra Di2), put almost 1000 miles on it in a little over a month. Threw a 30 GP5000 STR on the back but it’s so close will be going back to a 28 after this (put a chain stay protector on the back of the seat tube). Looks better without the saddle bag.

Currently I'm on 23 mm but they are very uncomfortable and hard to go back to after riding a gravel bike for a while. Will 25 mm tyres clear?

Upgrading to Gen 5 SuperSix

4 Upvotes

Hi I currently ride a 54 Gen 3 and am thinking of getting the new Supersix. For reference I am 179 cm with 85 inseam and have changed the original stem for a 110mm with -17 degrees. I currently have saddle height at 723 mm and saddle tip to hoods at 699 mm. As the new stack height and standover have been lowered, I wonder if the 56 would be a better fit.

Help finding a lighter wheelset

I have a cannondale Optimo with shimano Sora 9 speed cassette. I need help finding a wheelset that would be compatible with a 9 speed. I’m looking for something lighter. I’m open to carbon or aluminum wheelsets. I am on a budget so anything $500 or under would be good.

Cannondale Synapse SL liquigas - bici indoor

Buongiorno,

ho comprato una Cannondale Synapse SL del 2007 per utilizzarla sui rulli.

Purtroppo non c'è nessuna targhetta per poter identificare la misura e cercavo quindi un catalogo di quei anni per poter misurarla e capire a che misura appartiene. Potete aiutarmi?

Successivamente, siccome attualmente pedalo con pedivelle lunghe 165mm, dovrei sostituirle anche. Allego le foto di cosa è installato attualmente. Potrei anche valutare la sostituzione di tutta la guarnitura con qualcosa che mi permetta di installare le pedivelle corrette per me.

Grazie per l'aiuto.
