1993 Cannondale M800 BOTE

[Canuckbiker]

Dimensions 2.0/1.8/2.0mm Double Butted, is the same as 14/15/14 gauge in size. 14 gauge is 2mm and 15 gauge is 1.8mm approx - hope that helps.

Thanks, now leaning toward 2mm or 14 straight gauge to match the front wheel

You could try those folks, they are in the UK though:

So I decided to roll the dice and build the wheel myself, borrowed a buddy’s truing stand. I found a youtube video I liked and really took my time. I took stephan’s advice and made sure the spokes were attached to the flanges the same as a previous build.

Overall I’m very pleased with the outcome. I’ve been out for a ride around the block a few times, hopped off a curb, took a half dozen bunny hops and forced a high torque pedal going up a hill in a high gear. Checked the wheel afterward and it remained true, no odd noises came from the wheel so I think I’m good to go

well done.

I plan to enter my BOTE in the American BOTM this month, figured this is a good time to share the current build.

Couple changes are swapping the cranks from Cooks to RF, Cooks needed to go to the Merlin and I actually think the Turbines suit the build quite well, Ringle skewers to go with the hubs, also made a custom front brake hanger noodle using a V brake noodle, think it looks much better

Looking great, good luck with the entry. Am still on my M800 build.

Such a cool looking bike and great choice to go the polished route.

There was a Cannondale of this generation on ebay recently, low starting price and no bids. Crazy how much bike these are for the money. I remember really wanting one back in the day in the black and red combo.

Love it, well done.
