@Wes, Mr. Yang has not, as far as I can tell from the thread "agreed" to my draconian conditions (volunteering for the club; perhaps he's waiting to see if large is the right size for him), so you could be "firsts" on the list. But yes, you can be number 2 at least.

@daveyang - on the question of helmet sizes..as you know I have a Garneau Quartz like you. Its a medium. For comparison the Sterling I also have is a small/medium.

I hope this saves you the dirty looks at a bike store as you try on helmets then walk out empty handed...

Wes you can totally call dibs on it.  Being a lazy and stupid man, I plan on buying direct from Rudy after trying on some peepz helmets in the club then volunteer for stuff anyway.

I would like to chime in on the fact that SRAM ceramic BB30 bearings suck. I blew mine out in about two weeks.

For my warranty replacement build, I'm going to try to get one of these:



Stainless of course

@marc / @david

Can I call seconds on that offer if a large doesn't end up fitting mr yang?

All right Wes, one $234 msrp white Rudy Project is yours FREE (almost)!!!

...as long as you promise to help out the club in some way.

(Honor system, whatever you can manage...but be warned, I've got a bee in my bonnet about our relative lack--in relation to our club size--of support at Supercross, and will be a buzzing pest this fall if Jules or JP or some other club officer hasn't already "taken advantage" of you in some way!)

As far as me getting the helmet to you...that will be a little fussier. I'm planning to do the Master's R&A prospect park race next weekend. I could bring it then. Or, I'm also planning on showing up for the start of the traditional Kissena group ride tomorrow at 9am. Let me know.

@marc I'm in for supercross. I can grab the helmet from you at the R&A race next weekend.

Unsolved Mysteries: Phillip, that tire you gave me (25mm) fits my CAAD10 fork just fine.  the frame is 52cm.  now onto the commuter it goes...thank ye kindly

Strange. I must have a one off, out of spec fork then.

I'm glad someone can put it to good use.

You know...if it is out of spec, wouldn't it qualify for a warranty replacement?

@Marc - I could prob go through warranty, but in truth I have no other complaints about the fork. I'm happy using 23s anyway. But certainly the next time I buy a bike, I'll be checking the clearance.

the picture you posted here seemed to show some abraded carbon where the 25mm tire rubbed the fork.  carbon that was abraded when you put on a tire that fits every other caad10.  your bike is the liquigas-cdale scheme?  that was a popular frame; i'm sure they have lots of forks sitting around.  would be a sad thing if a sponsor couldn't send out a fork that fits your race tires.  your race tires that fit just fine in the forks of other proud cannondale owners in your large bicycling club that has wide exposure in the NYC area.  you bought the caad10 thinking it would fit the 25mm tires, didn't you?  

The freehub body on my PowerTap G3 is making some purring noises, (no, not the pawls engaging). Imagine Javier Bardem saying the word "borrrrrrrracho." With his shirt off.

Sounds like the bearings, but clean, add some grease and reassemble. If the noise persists, I would suggest calling Cycleops and asking for advice. They are incredibly helpful and just offered me a new computer after my Joule 2.0 stopped working (it was already a replacement for the original one I got on ebay). At the very least, they will tell you the kind of bearings to buy, which will be cheap online. Then you can take them to a shop (or maybe Eric) for assistance replacing them in. You'll have to decide whether to resist the urge for ceramic bearings. Don Winston always used to rail against the idea of expensive bearings for our low-rpm application.

Awesome!  I'm sending you an email.

Bruce, i got my romin at gotham bikes. They have a cushion that measures your sitbone and then overlay that with a chart / table from specialized. See:

It is my understanding that toupe is slightly different design than romin although hard to see.
The chart/table from the shop should have that.

The cushion has a technical name, the "Ass-o-meter"

Thanks, Floris, that's good info.  I'm going to head down to the store tomorrow and ask for a 'meter' reading!

Jules, I'll see you tonight.

Only if you look behind you to see what/who is making all the screaming land whining noises...

I got the 54, fwiw.

Damn. Jp wins... Or, I used to ride a 60 but as I aged my bike shrank...

i have a friend who just bought a caad10 in 63.  it is comically huge.  standing next to it, i can use the seat as an armrest.  i could probably jump through the front triangle

Probably a bad idea to ride on these, eh?  Looks like a small chip on the braking surface and then a hairline crack going over the rim and inward.  Other bum part is they're 2007 and no longer under warranty. Take to FBF, right?

without pics...it's like it never happened

Ungh. I attached them. I'll try again.

Wait are those carbon fiber reinforced plastic rims ???  Oh you are making this way too easy...I smell a booby trap !

I've got the same wheels. Reynolds Assaults? @jeff - do you know how it happened?
