Cannondale FSi builds

[Vallinotti]

Did someone tried to use a SRM or Quarq powermeters in a FSI? If yes, what is the behaviour without the same off-set of stock crankset spider?

[gfeldy]

I dont believe it will work. The chainring will hit the chain stay.

[jooo]

Just thinking out loud here, but surely if you ran a SiSL SRM 104/64 spider with only 1 chainring, mounted in the big ring position, you'd go pretty close to having a functioning setup?

The chainline should be around 52mm which AFAIK isn't too dissimilar to a single ring FSi crankset.

The downside with this setup would be that you're limited to 1x and at least a 30 tooth front ring, if not 32 tooth.

OPI RECALL!!!!!

[gfeldy]

Funny Fumic didn't use his custom bike. Cannondale should trick out his Scalpel next time. FYI OPI recall is only for the stem and not the steerer I was told. So Leonardi stems users are safe.

Swapped out 2015 Team for 2016 Team.

Changes include:
XX1 Cassette
Enve Sweep bars (from Black Inc)
Enve Seatpost (2016)
2.25 Racing Ralphs
ESI Chunky grips
SLR Carbonio saddle
Seatpost clamp in black

Awaiting:
OPI steerer tube (to put OPI stem on)
Lefty hub cap in black
36t Spidering due Feb!

It looks great. Man I hate that stem. Glad you're changing that ugly thing. So what do you think about the new brakes, and M50's vs the XC's?

[jcopland]

Agreed, stem really spoils the look of the bike. It's now apparent why they put these on this year, due to recall.

I've always like Avid / SRAM brakes so probably biased. Had the Guide RS's on another bike and thought they were great. These are the same look / feel - much stronger than Elixir / XX's.

Can't tell any difference with M50's over XC's apart from the look - they have a very different and wider profile. Always amazed by how well these wheels ride, so stiff yet compliant, taking the buzz out of the ride.

[gfeldy]

I don't know if the new stem is based on the recall. They spec these things way in advance. I'd rather run a Leonardi stem anyways.

[ChrizZZz]

The stem is not the problem! It is the Steerer.
If you mount the Lefty on the upper clamp it could break (but i didnt anyway). Because of that they use a thread inside the steerer to prop up the forces the steerer/stem gets when you tight up the screws.

You get this upgrade @all Cdale-Dealers. Our shop got it last week. (+44g if someone wants to know )

I was actually told the exact opposite. I was told that my scalpel with the Leonardi was fine, but the FSi needed the upgrade because I was running the OPI stem. Looks like I'll have to contact the shop, Cannondale, and Leonardi to get the facts straight.

Side note: Jumped back on the FSi this week. DAMN that bike is sweet. Even though my scalpel rips I just couldn't hold back the HT.

This is my fsi that is mostly a stock 2015 carbon 2. Changes are Maxxis ardent tires, kmc sl-11 chain, longer stem, fizik saddle, xtr pedals, arundel stainless cages . My lefty crapped out this week and it is currently in the shop for repair (it stopped holding air).

Why is there so much love for these bikes when every few comments there is someone having fork issues?
