wow, you have been busy the last few days, wasn't the CAAD7 sporting yellow yesterday? Both are very nice rides man.

Thanks.
I was trying to convince myself very hard last couple of days to keep both CAAD's and make one of
them as ugly as possible just to test how much I love it anyway.

Finally it was decided to get rid of my beloved
single speed (see below). My wife for some reason think that 5 road bikes is too much.

You need a new wife

or just put an unrealistic price tag on the bike.
And blame our president for poor economy.

seymour1910

I won't get into politics in the forums but a wacky price sounds good. Just do like everyone else on ebay and CL, charge hundreds more than it's worth and say it has less than 500 miles on it.

Very nice!

You failed at making ugly bikes but you made the right choice in getting rid of the Spec.

I have a creaking sound coming from my 2012 Caad 10-5. I was on my Saturday 50-miler a couple days ago and hit a full size adult raccoon (roadkill) after I had looked up to clear the road ahead and missed him in my scan. I don't think that hitting the roadkill or the 2 by 4 board a month ago would be substantial enough to cause structural damage, and on this particular ride I didn't notice the creaking sound start until a good 20 miles had passed after the impact. The bike has never been laid down. It only occurs under power, on the bottom of my right pedal stroke. I looked to make sure there was nothing I could tighten and took it to my LBS to have them check it out. I only have 900 miles on the bike.

Any ideas??

Probably BB30 issues.

Have your LBS reinstall the bottom bracket, and use Loctite 609 Press Fit Bearing Retainer on the outer bearing diameter and bottom bracket shell. Should solve the issue.
BB30's sometimes start to have issues around the 200mile mark if installed improperly, and the 1000mile mark if loctite wasn't used proper. If you get passed those milestones without issues, you should be good to go.

Lots of things can sound like BB creak. My personal favorites are rear skewer, pedal threads, seat post clamp and seat clamp. All of those are much easier to rule out first before getting your bb taken apart.

Been having the same issue think I will take my bike to Jax (LBS) and have them see what I did wrong. (90% of the time I do everything right on my bike 100% of the time)

Hi folks!! My caad 10 2013 105 team replica:

Welcome. Beautiful bike - those are some serious wheels.

Looks like those are fat tires...for off-road trail riding.

Not that it matters but what was Photoshopped here? You can tell that the wheels have been photo edited by a dark glow and tires are uneven. So did you copy bike onto better backdrop? Not your wheels?

Elduderino2412

The grass leads me to believe that the wheelset was Photoshopped, and everything else is real.

FPSDavid

Not sure if this is how it works, but https://fotoforensics.com/analysis.ph...7854c0a.220773 agrees, I think...

Beaker

Good catch gentlemen! I'd say the whole bike from looking at the shadow of the bars on the frame.

Okomokochoko

Definitely, look at the rear chainstay...it continues into the rim.

CAAD 10 fork question: can you replace stock fork with aftermarket fork? I thought I remembered reading the 10 has a very specific fork to that model. Thanks

Elduderino2412

To my knowledge it's just a normal fork w/1-1/8 steerer tube. not sure what would be special about it. There's alot of stuff i would replace before the fork though.

seymour1910

look back at page 179 or 180 nagrom posted his CAAD10 with a different fork.

NWS Alpine

You can use any fork that is 1 1/8 -1 1/4. If the dimensions are different then you are going to change the geometry. The CAAD10 fork is very good though. Only reason to change would be to reduce weight. You could use an Evo fork on a CAAD10. IMHO not worth the expense though.

I <3 Robots

Read on RBR that the Evo fork has a different rake.

bianchi10

HA I knew it. Wonder if he will be coming back. Not the end of the world that he photoshopped it. He did an alright job, but come on...To post it as your bike as is, as your introduction?
