First, thanks for being here and answering questions from random Internet people. And congratulations on a massive three-year engineering feat with a ton of thought to details! My detail questions:
--Does the seatpost have a zero-setback option? Even with the steep seat angle, my own weird biomechanics may not work with so much setback -- this is of course just me, a random Internet person.
--Would you happen to know the reach and drop of the bar, and the angle of the stem? And would they be available aftermarket, even if just as an upgrade to the standard modulus models? (Assuming electronic shifting.)
Cheers!
My pleasure.
- Anticipating your fit needs, we're just starting a project for a zero offset seatpost (or close to zero) but it doesn't yet have a delivery date.
- Stem angle is horizontal to the ground.
- Bar reach & drop are typical of many compact handlebars. I'm not in the office, but from memory about 75-80mm of reach & about 125-130mm of drop. The curve of handlebar drops in general has matured quite a bit over the last years, so we didn't do anything radical here, should feel very familiar to most riders. The cross section in the drops has a nice anatomical flat on top to reduce hand pressure.
- Stems and bars will be available for purchase aftermarket, either for upgrading or for swapping out during a bike fitting session. This is one of the benefits of a two-piece bar and stem over a one-piece barstem. And the bar & stem work with both mechanical and electric shift systems.
Cheers,
Damon
Hi Toby,
They may; I'll check when they open. She had asked me to move the seat forward for today's ride and there's not much room on the standard seatpost, so I did a Google search and this thread came up. With nothing about it under "seatposts" on the Cannondale site I wanted to see if it was even still coming. Glad to hear it is, and I'll look forward to your response as well. Thank you, and thank you for the prompt response even super-early on a Saturday! Happy riding.DamonRinard wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 11:38 amHi Toby,
Congrats to your wife on her new bike!
I'll check when I'm back in the office Monday. But I believe your Cannondale dealer should have direct visibility to that information even now, through their B2B website. Give them a call?
Cheers,
Damon
Maybe they aren't on the bad list, but I had a similar failure as described in the article last year although it was replaced under warrantyNefarious86 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 7:06 amWhy, turbo cotton arent on the "bad" listcarbonLORD wrote:Watch out with those tirtes though.

Tyres were 6 months old and used for approx 1000km, replaced by the distributor under warranty. Although I did then swap it for a normal S-Works Turbo, since I now have a trust issue with the cottons. This is on a disc brake wheel as well.
I think Enve have simply forgotten to include, or not gotten around to testing, certain tyres. At the top of the press release is a general prohibition on using any natural sidewall tyres with non-vulcanised construction.moonoi wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 9:12 amMaybe they aren't on the bad list, but I had a similar failure as described in the article last year although it was replaced under warrantyNefarious86 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 7:06 amWhy, turbo cotton arent on the "bad" listcarbonLORD wrote:Watch out with those tirtes though.

The list is clearly not exhaustive, as it fails to mention as either recommended or not recommended several other brands of tyre with similar construction type to Corsa / Challenge.
And I have ridden/know lots of people who ride Corsas on Enve and have had no problems. Doesn't mean they aren't more prone to problems than synthetic vulcanised clinchers.alexneumuller wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 9:34 amI ride the Super Cotton ones on a set of Enve 3.4 Clinchers and on a set of Enve 5.6 Clinchers, and have had no problems
Feel free to not worry yourself about my wife's bike.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:19 amCorrect, because the stretched out part was irrelevant.
I’m still questioning the choice of a SystemSix when a zero-offset post wasn’t guaranteed to be available.
