Hi, I am a new CAAD user, just got CAAD12/2016/54cm. Just wondering if anybody has the same issue i have.

I am using shimano 5800 105 11spd and cant get satisfied with B tension properly.

If i make it strong enough to not rubbing chain with small/small cogs, shifting is not so good at outter ring+lower three rears. if i set to weak enough for large front, pully rubbs at lowest gear with small front.

I assume the reason is the RD cable housing. does anybody have a bright idea?

i was running 11/28+50/34

in my opinion it appears to have a too short RD cable, compare it with that red caad12 posted above in this page

proud owner of CAAD12 Dura-ace Disc 2016.

I have one question I have been searching high and low for a carbon 0 set back seatpost (25.4mm) and cannot find anyone that makes one, does anyone know of a one off hand?

cheers

They are plugged up now but they are 1/4 inch and mimic the location from the old black inc di2 frame. It was shockingly straightforward.

I just picked up a Cannondale C2 25.4mm (350mm) 15 mm offset that is about 54 grams lighter than the stock C3 alloy seat post. The new seat post has plenty of room to chop off so I'm hoping to save another 80 grams or so. I paid $79.99 from Bicyclebuys.com

The new c2 post weighed 249.48 grams on my scale and the old C3 weighed 303.34

I do have a question though. The stem doesn't look carbon, but the packaging says it is. Does it just not look like "typical" carbon because it's Unidirectional carbon? I'd like to know for sure before I send it back or keep it and chop it.

Here is a link to a FSA zero offset 25.4mm http://www.outsideoutfitters.com/p-4389 ... oCEjrw_wcB that claims weight at 197 g for 350mm

Thanks in advance!

is this 2017 caad12? if so, this frame use 25.4mm seatpost. I recommend MCFK, ENVE, or Cannondale speed save seatpost.
