Yikes!! That doesn't even sound like a creak, that sounds like a "crackle"!!!

Glad to hear they got it taken care of for you!

This crap really shouldn't be that volatile. It's the 21st freakin' century for cryin' outloud!

General motors makes this argument hugely invalid.......Their new 2015 colorado had a recall BEFORE it hit dealer floors (well only 30-40 of them had been sold.....). They have so much faith in their new truck that they are trickling it into the market so if something does go ka-boom it wont be a big recall

At least shops are not playing off the bb creak as something foreign to them and they won't cover it because it is "something the owner must have done"

I'm fairly certain my bike is too big now dammit.

I've been slamming the stem. It's more like slamthatseatpost now. I only have 8cm of post showing with a toupe on top. I remeasured myself on Competitive Cyclist's calculator, and looking at my last measurements, I had my legs 2 inches longer than they really were.

We've just built this in the shop, we have out own brand (cero) and the 45's look great on the Caad 10. Very tempted to put some on my bike when the weather improves.

I feel like my CAAD is slight too big, I too used the CC fit calc... Oh well, it works it just doesn't look pro.

Muffin Man

My bars would be in the steerer tube if I fit myself correctly lol.

I like to think of the 3 frame size rule.....as in you know what size you need amd you can go +/- 1 in either direction and still be ok.

Seat post only really matters when it comes to mounting stuff on it.

I'm looking at a used 07 caad 8. Looking back at the catalog I noticed that they had a caad 8 and caad 9 that year. Doesn't anyone know if they are different frames in the sense that the current caad 8 and caad 10 are or was it basically a difference in components? I can't see the geo chart so not sure if everything is the same

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for some advice. I bought my first road bike in 2013. I didn't really know anything going into the bike store. I've been running for many years now and wanted to get into triathlons so I knew I had to get a decent bike. I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy riding! So I bought a CAAD 8 2300. I ended up riding a little over a 1000 miles this summer, and love it. But now that I've have learned so much more about bikes I feel like I'm a bit limited by what I've got. I'd like to go faster, be more efficient in power transfer. I love the CAAD, but now I've been looking at the CAAD 10 105. I'm just wondering how much of a difference I'm going to see if I upgraded and in what ways. I have done a lot of reading and understand the differences in the specs, but I was hoping for some real world experience. Thanks for any advice.

Is it worth it to buy a 2013 CAAD 10 Black Inc. Ultegra Di2 if I can build it for about $1600?

ConGrUenCy

Your current bike is not slowing you down. You won't see a big difference by upgrading.

rms13

Your question is confusing. Would you be building the same bike, CAAD 10 with Di2? And how much can you get the 2013 Black Inc for?

yosh3

I would buy the frame for $300 and in the rest would cost about $1300.

Muffin Man

Where are you getting your frame?

rms13

And where are you getting the rest. Best deal on frame I've seen new is around $500 but that's with shop race team insider deal, on ebay it's hard to find a CAAD frameset for less than $500 used. Best I've seen for new Di2 is around $1150.

But none of that really matters, the main questions I guess is everything going to be new if you build the bike? Is your build going to be better than the stock CAAD 10 black? Are you using better wheels, different components that you like more than what comes stock? All things being equal if it costs the same I'd much rather get the complete from an LBS with full warranty and shop support

yosh3

I am getting a set of easton wheels for $100 and the frame from the LBS. The wheels will be the only thing used everything esle I plan to buy new.

Muffin Man

Damn. Do they have any in 52?
lol

Team Sarcasm

Thats what I said

Where is the interweb frienz hook-up, bro?

yosh3

So is that a yes that that is a good deal/smart to do?

Muffin Man

Thats a pretty good deal. I would do it. I'm in the market for a smaller frame too haha.
