|   Cannondale SS Conversion? | WAM
Mar 28, 2003 9:24 AM | | Has anyone had success converting a Cannondale Caad 5 to SS without a tensioner? A buddy wants to do it, and I'm going to help him. I was hoping to use someone else's experience as a starting point along with the famous "poison chicken" calculator thingie.
Thanks! |

Mar 28, 2003 9:31 AM | | I had a 02 F3000SL CAAD5 frame that I converted to SS. 34/18 worked and I was able to come by a 35 tooth ring, so I also had 35/17. If the add one/subtract one theory works, 32/20 should work as well. It worked well for a while and then my chain stretched some and I had problems with it derailling. If you haven't heard of them, I now use a Disco chain guide on the rear and it seems to work very well. |
