Help Me Spec a Topstone

[Zillon]

Can't you remove the adapter on the rear caliper? That's what I did on my alloy Topstone and it works a treat. GRX 800 brakes.

Carbon Topstone caliper bosses are spaced out for a 160mm rotor - there's no adapter.

Alright the bike is ALMOST complete. I have all of the final parts installed except the stem. I was using a temporary to double check the dimensions. The bike is definitely taller than my road bikes. It'll take getting some used to. I may also slide my saddle back a bit.

Turns out the frame weight is way more than advertised in press releases and quoted by Cannondale. Quite frustrating.

I opened up some tickets with them with misc torque spec questions. They never responded after a month and a bunch of follow ups. Then I called them today. Pretty unfriendly and unhelpful customer service. He argued with me about needing torque specs and then told me they don't publish torque specs. That my authorized dealer would know the torque spec. They said the dealer would work with warranty rep to find the "most appropriate specs." Yeah right. I told him I work on my own bikes and he acted like that was out of the ordinary. Not loving Cannondale.

Just the saddle clamp torque. Finally found out through the warranty rep that it's 6 N-m. Not sure why they had to make the process so convoluted.
