We listened and started making them stock with that longer head tube so riders could avoid the massive 100mm of spacers under the stem and avoid going custom. </p> <p>But, along with making the head tubes longer we have to bring the top tube up the head tube to avoid having too much protrusion above the top tube. If you get much more than 2.5 above the top edge of the top tube, the head tube wants to bow when welded....this makes head set adjustments bad and we believe an overall bad way to build bikes. So, we bring the top tube up on the head tube which gives it more slope. </p> <p>It's a hard one to get around....if we wanted to keep the top tube level, we could increase the seat tube length...but then you start to lose stand over height....not something that is good either. </p> <p>We try to balance the relationship all of these have with each other to build a great riding bike, without sacrificing our build principals along the way.</p> <p>Let me know if you have any other questions.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4808#post-7903 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:12:10 +0000 cento1 7903@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>John, but why you've changed the TT slope on you stock 2012 line up??,the 52 for example went to 3.6 deg. what’s the reason behind that and when did the changes take effect? I know some still wanted the traditional classic bike look nowadays,, thanks </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4808#post-7895 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:35:43 +0000 JonC 7895@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Cento1,<br /> Satellite is correct....the Vamoots never had a true level top tube. The reasons for this are....longer head tubes require a bit of slope in order to not have too much head tube above the top tube and the second reason is looks....If you have a level top tube the bike almost looks like it slopes forward. It's an eye trick for sure.</p> <p>So yes, most of the Vamoots of that era have about 2 degrees of slope.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4808#post-7880 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 01:39:37 +0000 Satellite 7880@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>cento1,</p> <p>My VaMoots are larger frames 56 (2006) and 57.5 (2004) they both have a 2 degree slope. The VaMoots never had a true level top tube but the VaMoots is a lot flatter than the Compact.</p> <p>Satellite </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4808#post-7878 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:10:16 +0000 cento1 7878@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hello everyone,,I was just wondering if the stock vamoots line-up TT slope changes from 2011 below ??,I’m looking at size 52 to be specific which says 2.1 deg slope,,just curios if it was zero or less on the earlier year models.thanks </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4888 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 03:43:04 +0000 HillBilly 4888@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm....</p> <p>I run compact so can't say for sure that the 135 spider will work on PF30 using the EVO lockring. Hopefully someone can chime in who has tried it but I would expect Dr C to know. </p> <p>If you're looking for a US dealer then try cannondaleexperts.com out of Utah. </p> <p>With pricing, don't forget Dr C will not charge the 19% VAT if you are outside the EU. </p> <p>Sorry I can't be of more assistance. </p> <p>Hillbilly </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4881 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:45:53 +0000 ROO 4881@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>HillBilly(All)-</p> <p>So I contacted Dr. Cannondale and they tell me that "no 135 spider" for the PF30 BB. My guess is that something is being lost in translation (literally). Just want to confirm that you (or other) have gotten this to work? Any USA sorces for the cranksets?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Roo </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4862 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:21:28 +0000 ROO 4862@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, All.

You could use 4 of the 5 campy bolts but you will need one other bolt...you can use 5 bolts from a shimano or sram crank or any aftermarket versions. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4858 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:01:29 +0000 ROO 4858@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the detailed information. Two last questions:</p> <p>Any idea if the 135 spider has the "correct" spacing for 11 speed?<br /> Can I use standard Campy chainring bolts?</p> <p>Thanks, again. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4854 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:07:48 +0000 HillBilly 4854@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Roo</p> <p>I have a Cannondale Si SL on my RSL running Campy SR 11 speed. Mine is currently running compact and I am using FSA rings. If you go 53/39 and want to use genuine Campy SR 11 rings then you can get (as -drv- said) a 135 spider to suit. They don't make a spider to suit genuine Campy 11 speed compact rings. For good info check out the Dr Cannondale (Germany) website - they sell all you need including 135 spider. I bought a complete crank from them with a Pf30 bb and it included all stuff needed. Be sure to specify EVO parts because the PF30 lockring is different to standard. Spindle is 104mm - standard road. The Cannondale EVO is PF30 not BB30. The "Cannondale" pf30 bb is actually made by SRAM but includes all correct Cannondale bits including wavy washer etc.</p> <p>Enjoy! </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4852 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:30:51 +0000 Anonymous 4852@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>ROO</p> <p>You can buy Campy 135mm BCD spiders that will work for a 53/39 set up. Not sure about a Campy 110 (plus one 112.5)mm BCD, but this will really limit your chainring choice (I had to have one custom made for my cross bike). Many manufactures of aftermarket rings (think Praxis) make Campy 11spd compatible rings in 110 and 130mm BCDs....this is the route I'm going this time around. It gives you many more options for rings in the end (particularly if Shim and Sram go 11 spd...which isn't far fetched for the near future).</p> <p>As for a PF30 BB Sram (truvativ) makes a solid version in steel or ceramic. Other options (like HSC) are out there as well.</p> <p>best<br /> DRV </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2297#post-4848 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:28:58 +0000 ROO 4848@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Just ordered my RSL! Now the wait.....</p> <p>I plan on using Super Record Campagnolo 11 speed with the Cannondale Si SL Hollowtech cranks and would like to know:</p> <p>1. Does a spider exist that I can run real Campagnolo 11 speed rings? Size?<br /> 2. What do I need - spindle, washers, etc.?<br /> 3.

The stock 5th element shock was replaced with a Fox RP3 from PUSH. Currently set-up as a 69er with a White Brothers rigid fork, but i have a PUSH'd Fox Float if wanted. Haven't been actively looking to sell, but it is SUCH a waste to have such a beautiful bike not being ridden. I have converted to 29" wheels for MTB. pics easily available upon request. Currently set-up with a really nice 1x9 set-up. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2028#post-4486 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:42:33 +0000 herc49miths 4486@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>"Having suspension fork on road bikes will not be able to take the additional loads created by the fork" </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2028#post-4416 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:54:37 +0000 teamfubar 4416@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>It will mess up the geometry, aesthetically it is wrong, the frame may not be able to take the additional loads created by the fork, hardly anyone builds forks with canti-post mounts anymore, so unless it is a disc frame, the "individual" will have to use a disc in the front and a canti in the back, which adds a new wheel (or at least a hub and wheel build) into the equation.</p> <p>My question is why? Why does this person want to do this? Personally, it bugs me when people get a SWEET ride like a Psychlo and then put flat bars on it or bastardize it in some way. (Again, I want to reiterate it is a personal problem.) </p> <p>Not long ago there was a Moots Smoothie for sale on eBay and it was going cheap. I thought I'd check it out for my wife. When I opened the ad, I found this bike with a high-rise stem, HUGE comfort bike style riser bars, bar ends that pointed to the sky, a giant comfort bike saddle and a post mounted bike rack. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH. Why? Why just not get a comfort bike? Why buy a Corvette ZO1 and festoon it with a roof rack and snow and ice tires? Why not get the right tool for the job? So, if this individual wants more comfort, why not get a mountain bike (with bigger, lower pressure tires and a suspension fork) or a comfort bike?</p> <p>Sorry for the rant. Hopefully this will help persuade this individual. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2028#post-4409 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:26:57 +0000 Pzzamakr1980 4409@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>So there is an individual who wants to know why putting a suspension fork on his cross bike is bad. I gave him my reasons which amounted to bad geometry. Anybody have anything else they would like to add. This is a PsychloX. Thanks </p>
