Cannondale SuperSix Evo4

[macwatt]

Looking at the drop seems like a 54 suits better. I'm the same size riding a 51 and it fits me like a glove. But use a 110x360 barcombo with 80mm reach and just a 5mm spacer so more drop than you.

Thanks Im old so probably why I require more spacers than yourself

[GrassQ]

I think that 54 is better for you; unless there are some reach issues.
40 mm spacers are quite a lot.

Does anyone have an EXS aerover adapter for the current gen supersix for sale in europe?

Any BB recommendations? I'm in the process of building up an SSE4 HiMod frame with a DuraAce groupset and just installed Shimano bb-r9100. Bearings seem ridiculously stiff. I can hardly get a single rotation out of the cranks with a big push. I have checked the preload is not over-tight. It could be a bearing cup alignment issue, but my impression is a lot of drag in the bearings. Maybe this would ease with use but I am thinking I need a better solution. What are other folk using?

I would consider Wheels manufacturing or BBinfinite

Thanks for the videos. I am getting half the spin of the DuraAce bb shown and nothing like the BB Infinite replacement. I took my bike to my LBS. They said it was normal for Shimano. Doesn’t change my view that it should be better. I have previous good experience with Wheels Manufacturing as a replacement on a bike with a creaky press fit.

I got my SSE3 just days ago and in an effort to not cut the steerer right away I figured I'll at least reduce the massive amount of spacers and try it out a bit.
But, I'm not really sure I'm doing this right. Slightly (or very) confused.

I removed 20mm of spacers below the stem, and then added 20mm of spacers above. But with the systembar top cap (or whatever it's called, the round top cap) I can't get any thread engagement. Looks like this with 20mm on top:

This works with the conceal top cap though, but looks really wonky.

With 15mm of spacers on top I don't get proper compression, this is the look with 15mm spacers on top:

I ended up with (I think) 19mm but had to use some wider carbon spacers. Seems to work, but haven't ridden it.

Am I OK riding this?
Honestly if I replicate the fit of my current bike I can slam it all the way but I want to test out a higher/shorter position a bit to see if it enables me riding in the aero tuck more.

Also, is the only manual available the supplement on the website? I feel like it's lacking but maybe that's just the nature of a bike manual (I haven't looked in one ever before because I've only ridden bikes without proprietary parts/solutions).

FYI cannondale advise against running spacers above the stem as they believe it can simulate the effect of a loose headset and potentially damage the steerer. I'm not sure if this is partly to do this the idiotic delta design or an issue with all cannondale steerers. I don't have a copy of the manual to hand but it's in there somewhere. I don't really understand why cannondale's design can't accommodate spacers above a stem as it really limits testing various fits before committing to chopping the steerer.

I had the same thing with a dura ace bottom bracket and I was quite surprised how badly it spun compared to an ultegra bottom bracket. After a few minutes riding it under load it was spinning perfectly so you may want to try just riding it and seeing how you go

I'm selling a long-stem (38x140mm) momo bar - ping me up if you're interested

I didn't know they sold those. I thought those were only for EF haha

Thanks for that. LBS also said it was normal (then demonstrated it on another bike which span easily!). He also dismissed the likelihood of bearing cup misalignment. As you say I think I am going to have to ride it a bit and see how it goes.

Having a bike fit on Tuesday then I’ll get the cockpit.

Apologies for the mess of emoji codes that appear when I post using Tapatalk. I am not inserting emojis or anything weird. Anyone know why this happens and what I can do to avoid it?

it is actually from EF

I’ve got a Supersix gen 4, mod 3 incoming and have a couple of questions:

Seatpost rail clamp Do I need a new clamp for carbon railings 7x9mm or can I use the stock one?

Bike comes with conceal stem. How do I try out number of spacers? Can I use normal spacers on top of the delta while finding the right height?

[harblhat]

The seat clamp is a two bolt one that can fit any rails.

There's no easy way to try out spacers without running regular ones on top of the stem, which is not advisable long term.

[robo997]

Hello,

what kind of seat posts do you ride? wanted to buy Darimo but it won't be available until summer 2025 due to problems with the LAB71 frame... I'm now looking for a light alternative where there is at best a light, matching handlebar stem aero unit....

Anyone have an idea?
