If I don't fix it now it's going to become much worse soon I think. I searched for other threads, but I only found ones with broken rivets. _________________ Cannondale F-Si Team 2015 Cannondale F29 Team 2014 Cannondale F29 Carbon 1 2013

I'm pretty sure it's the "new" version I have (yellow/black rails)? _________________ Cannondale F-Si Team 2015 Cannondale F29 Team 2014 Cannondale F29 Carbon 1 2013
