Threadless Headsets
9 speed vs. 10 speed??? Thoughts?
I'm upgrading an old 1992 Cannondale R600 roadbike from a 7speed drivetrain and can't decide if I should go to a 9 speed or 10 speed set-up. I think the 10 speed set-up would force me to replace the crankset whereas I could keep the stock crankset with a 9er. I will be training in some hilly areas but I'm new to this so I don't know if the extra gearing with the 10 speed set-up is worth it. I know I could probably just spend a few hundred dollars more and purchase a new bike but this one has sentimental value so I would rather build it up rather than buy new.
Also, does anyone happen to know the steerer tube diameter on Cannondale's this old? This one obviously has a threaded stem and fork but I was considering throwing on a carbon fork with a threadless headset but I'm not sure I'm measuring the steerer tube correctly.
Thanks.
YIPES! I would reconsider this move. Let's forget about the compatibility of parts for the moment.
Going from a 7 speed to 8/9/10 requires resetting the rear spacing and realigning the dropouts. This is next to impossible with Cannondale- especially old ones- without cracking the frame or stressing it to the point where you could experience sudden catastrophic failure.
Cannondale frames- especially old ones- tend to have a very limited life to begin with, as cracks frequently form on the frame at various spots... the seat tube/top tube, the chainstay reinforcement, the down tube/headtube are most common. This type of failure is NOT covered under their warranty. They appear as thin scratches- hardly noticable.
Soooo, of course it is up to you, but if you were to come into my shop I wouldn't do it- the liability is just too great.
I have lots of bikes that I wouldn't part with due to sentimental reasons but would give any one of them up to avoid being hurt or killed because of a poorly advised change.

Threadless Headset Adjustment
What bike is the best for a tri athlete?!?! Help pLease!?
there are two options:
a Felt Z90 for $ 769 from a local bike store
or a bike bought online for $735, with the following specs:
Frame: Reynolds 520 double-butted High Grade Steel with eyelets & rack braze-ons
Fork: Reynolds Ouzo Comp Carbon Fiber / Aluminum Steerer
Headset: FSA Threadless for Cane Creek
Crankset: Truvativ IsoFlow triple 52/42/30T
Bottom Bracket: Truvativ sealed
Pedals: Alloy Road with Toe Clips and Straps
Front Derailleur: Shimano 4400 for Triple
Rear Derailleur: Shimano NEW 105 for Triple
Shifters: Shimano 4400 for 27-speed
Cassette/Freewheel: Shimano 9-speed 12-25T
Chain: Z-9000
just wondering if the second option is superior than a felt bike! please help.. thanks!
The Felt quality is beyond reproach.
Both bikes are outfitted similarly and the difference between the aluminum and cro-moly frame in weight is negligible. I personally would prefer the aluminum.
For the felt Z90; as it isn't a Tri bike, you would want to make a couple up grades such as aero bars, change the tires from the Zaffiro's to Vittoria Open Corsa or Michelin Pro 2 in 23's. They are the fastest (least rolling resistance) tires. I would see if the Felt could be bought with a double front instead of the triple.
Yeah, pretty much everything you said. Plus, when all the little ones I knew are drinking age now. When my child along with some of her classmates call their teachers old and I am older than they are. When my back goes out more than I do. And most recently seen a question on here asking what a floppy disk was, I had to laugh.
