cannondale headshox stems

[fotorat1]

yep same here

on mine I have M960 XTR mech and cranks and XT 760 Dual contol

and I have ordered a dropper seat post for it with the lever under the saddle which should be fine - but eventually I will get a steath dropper as the seat post is open and routing will be a doddle.

This is what it looks like today - the cowhide nisene is staying - this is the only bike I have had it on that it seemed to match ok.

See how high the bars are - even though this is a 130 stem - it is quite comfy!- Climbing would be a nightmare though....

If I can get a matching M960 Dual Control set for it - that will be it!!!!!

Re:

New 90mm stem arrived this morning! 18hours from paying to receiving!!!

Fittted my old lefty perfectly.

Its not has high as the 130 - I am sure someone good a maths can calulate the difference-

On the plus side the new lower hight feels much more sensible - not too low and not too high.

Before 130 X20deg

after 90mm X20deg

As it stands just now. Changed the bars and stem. Rest is how it came. Likes to wheelie but reckon I like it

Looks nice - hows the headshock?

PS I think your caravan is more retro than the bike!!

I have a Super SI headshock on my Super V - holds air fine, I have filled it with 10wt oil and it works superbly - but the lock out doesnt work- bit sad really as the rear climbs perfectly.

back to the jekyll - my doesnt hold air - I can put 220 in one day and the nest day its on 90.

I have the seal kit so I might do it at the weekend- and my main pivot is creaking on steep climbs so that will have to come out and and I will try greasing it!

Whole bikes like new. Headshox works perfectly
The caravans another story :shock:

our shock yolks look different.

I said mine was 2003 but I will double check the frame date code today.
