Except maybe SiSl cranks eh? :wink:

I all seriousness, one awesome race machine.

Only question is your hood position?? If you need them lower could you maybe go a -17 stem and then have them on the proper position on the bars?

thanks, still waiting for TRP black 970EQ magnesium brakes and a 2012 11-23 Sram Red cassette, to reduce total weight from a big 100g.
expected weight 6.750kg

Look if you're looking to tune weight do not use DI2. First point. There are more.

This is interesting, I'm putting non shimano cranks on my di2 bike and was planning on using ct2. Good job I kept a new set of ultegra rings then

How much worse was the ct2 shifting?

Btw, rode a caad 10 last week and really enjoyed it, looks good!

chain slips on chainrings when shifting on the big plate.
time of response is longer in comparaison to full DA DI2.
I can easily compare, having 2 CAAD10, one fully DA DI2.
with Ultegra SL grey (which in fact are black) on Cannondale SI cranks, it works like whith full DA.
With CT2 chain sucks on 39/11 and 39/12. whith Ultegra SL I can use the all range of teeth.
I have finished a Cervelo R3 DI2 whith Rotor Cranks and rings, no slipping problem, but chain also sucks on smaller rings!!!

1. Don't hi-jack somebody's thread.

2. Search the forum......many CAAD10 builds to pick/choose build options.

Hi,
if you want to be on the light side, choose Sram Red and some light wheels!!!
DI2 isn't on the light side, but simply exceptionnal to ride.
i'm aiming 6.75kg with TRP 970sl Brakes (-60g), Sram Red 2012 cassette (-30g).
maybe, i could also replace stem and seatpost and use latest Ritchey to loose some more 30-40g
have great rides
