It may seem uninteresting probably because you're missing it has adjustable CS length, BB height, and head tube angle, almost completely independent of each other. Mullet/29er compatible, adjustable leverage ratio through included shock mounts, 148 rear dropout for more wheel compatibility, and ZS56 | ZS56 head tube for angle and reach adjust. It's also already won Proving Grounds last year and best trick at Darkest this year. There's a lot going on with this bike when you dig in a bit deeper.

The fork caliper tabs on my kids Ramone are off enough that theres no way to get rid of pad rub. They're pretty far off. If it wasn't super discounted I'd be more bothered. Otherwise solid bike. I did add riser bars, maybe 40mm if I recall. His position with the flat bars wasn't confidence inspiring.

If you reset your pistons, pad retract is always relative to the braking surface so you have the same pad clearance regardless of rotor thickness. Increasing rotor thickness will only impact the clearance/dead stroke if you don’t reset the pistons, but over time as your pads wear it will work its way to the same spot.

For those going to thicker disks are you rebleeding your calipers with thicker blocks to maintain rotor and piston gap/caliper throw? On my codes there's about 1mm clearance on either side of the disk. Centerline at 1.8mm to something like the TRP at 2.3mm eats up a lot of that space. Even with bite adjustment a lot of the range...

Oh one hand, props to Canyon for abandoning headset routing. Agreed the OE plastic bits are a mystery but once upgraded to FSA I don't see an issue. Outside of it being a non standard size, it seems to me a larger top bearing can only be a "better" thing? A convo for another thread....

Eagle derailleur was feeling left out - so I made a thing - replaces the washer on a standard UDH dropout with a "Brace" that links the rear derailleur for strength and stiffness.

I am looking for any information about this Cannondale Moto carbon frame that I have. It is a 2010 that has Kawasaki and Monster graphics on it. I understand that in 2009 or 2010 Cannondale in partnership with Kawasaki auctioned a complete bike on ebay for charity. I am curious how many of these frames were produced. This frame doesn't appear to have ever been built into a complete bike. thanks for any help
