Hi all, this is my bike that Lee done a cracking job on at a very reasonable price. It now rides like a dream! The flat pedals…I know…I’m new to cycling and when I build up some confidence will change to clipless. Thanks again Lee, the Pinarello might be in next! All the best Scott
rim brakes, mechanical gears, (mostly) external cabling. Such a serviceable bike. They genuinely don't make them like that any more! I'd love a video from you on mechanical vs electronic gears; your rim vs disk brakes one was very candid and honest. Cheers gents, all the best 👊
I've gotten into the habit now of removing the rubber brake pads from my (rim brake) bikes and checking for wear and engrained flint and metal shards, then give them a light filing. Protect your rims!
Excellent service Lee. That SRAM Red is a lovely group set. You identified and solved many little issues with this bike. The level of service you provide keeps me coming back each week. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Best to Simon as well!!
Thank you. We try not to dwell into the TH-cam specifics but we’re still nowhere near making enough money this is a huge gamble that we’re taking just because we love doing it so hopefully it pays off at some point 🧡
SRAM Red is a superlight group - those pedals alone probably weigh more than the rest of i put together!! I love Cannondale bikes though. Raced on them in the 1990s - CAAD3 and 4 Seaeco / Cipollini replicas 🙂 Pity I couldn't replicate his finishing speed!!!
Depends on the exact model (because of the color these look like plastic body ones), Kéos and a bunch of SPD-SL pedals weigh less, but I myself got Reverse Black One platform pedals (I'm new, just three months into road biking, probably will try some clipless in the near future) and the pair weighs just around 320g, roughly the same as a pair of PD-R550 (SPD-SL) or XTR PD-M9100 (SPD).
I have a CAAD5 and the finish quality on the frame is stunning. You just can't see the welds in the aluminium, real craftsmanship. When they stopped making them in the USA they lost all that.
@@Bikespeeds thanks for the reply gents, appreciated 👍. By the way, VERY GOOD video re: tubeless tyre. I couldn't agree more, for us amateurs on road bikes, stick with tubular & your preferred inner tube 👍
Another great service. Always impressed that your hands still clean after doing service and greasing without gloves. The sram mechanical group set is a pleasure to work on. One of the lightest setup u can get on a bike. Also this cannondale is a great frame. Solidly made but cant say the same for the bb. Thank you for sharing your video.
Good Video as always, loved the cannondale, like the look of it, and also the gear setup was like a mountain bike transmission, with a ten or eleven speed cassette,many thanks for sharing 👍😁🙏💚💯
This is awesome! I own this exact same bike with some Bontregar carbon wheels. I bought it maybe a month ago. Paid $1400 and it came with Garmin RS200 power pedals, and a bunch of brand new parts. It's currently at the shop for a shifter issue. Love the bike so much!
The video was excellent as usual and enjoy the time taken to explain reasons etc behind every task. My only quibble would be the length of gear cable between frame drop out and rear mech, I'd be tempted to shorten by a good few centimetres! But as not my bike would've had to leave unless owner instructed otherwise! 🙂🙂🙂
Cannondale evo fabulous bike at the time i bought my CAAD 10 now 12 years ago I wanted the evo but didn’t have the money to buy it. Brilliant job as always 👍
Precise work as always. This channel never disappoints 🙏🏼. I have noticed a shift towards lower volume of the background music on your videos. I prefered it a little louder to enhanced the calm demeanor of the narration 😄. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️. Nevertheless, still one the great youtube channels for cycling hobbyists. Cheers 🚲
If you didn't have that tool to take that chainset off you can use an long 11mm allen socket, then put a 11mm normal socket on top to take up the space in the spindle and a normal square taper crank extractor will work.
That version of the Super Six Evo weighed less than the modern day disk brake bike and probably cost a fraction of the price of a current model. Pay 5x as much for a heavier bike. Bike industry have managed to fool everybody
I hope when you find loose headsets you are pulling the fork and checking the steerer for damage. If the customer is not aware their headset is loose they won’t know to pull the fork to check themselves.
Question: do you think the brifters are secured "less than torque" to allow them to *move instead of *break if the bike ends up in a crash? It's certainly cheaper to move a scuffed brifter back into position than replace it due to breakage.
Nice! One thing, I notice that you seem to put the cables in 'dry'....I always try to introduce a few drops of a light oil onto the cable and in the outer, but you seem not to. (I use stainless cables and clarks or jagwire outer). Is this either right or wrong? Cheers! 😃
Hi Lee I have SRAM 12 speed electronic gear shifting. Should I just leave the battery connected when cleaning and just use the same water based spray cleaner as yourself and not degreaser, many thanks in advance
Thank you for another positive and calming video. Lovely job as always. Dont know if you can help. I am trying to remove a Shimano freehub on my mtb. Do you know what size allen key it needs. Its a 9mm qr through the hub in case that makes a difference. I have tried a 10mm and 11mm. The 11mm eventually grabs but i think thats further down the axle. Buying tools is getting expensive and searching online is gives conflicting info. So with the 10mm and 11mm not fitring. Could it be a 12mm. I think 15mm would be tool big and i havent seen 13mm or 14mm suggested. Thanks
Without having it in front of me I would be guessing the same as you, in terms of value for money on tools it wouldn’t be expensive at all to get your lbs to remove it, best of luck!🧡
Thank you for your reply. I think it's a 11mm as 12mm is too big I have tried but from the non drive side. It must be so tight it's possibly even seized on. The free hub doesn't seem too bad so might just leave it for now in case I end up wrecking it.
Leave it to Cannondale to come up with proprietary stuff! Nice service! Do you find that SRAM stuff wears better than Shimano or about same? From purely a shop perspective as you see bikes of a 'certain age' come in with a fair bit of mileage...Cheers!
It looks like you would benefit from using a Nepros 3/8" quick spinner which would allow you to easily spin the 3/8" hex while engaged with the wrench. For example when removing the pedals you use the 3/8" hex on the wrench to brake the pedal loose then once loose you remove the 3/8" hex and turn it by hand. With the quick spinners you can easily spin the 3/8" hex while its still on the wrench.
That rear brake cable is a Cannondale special, it only happens on the cannondales with the cable going into the headtube 😂 fortunately I don't have that issue anymore as I switched to a S-Works

Definitely it’s a video we’d make it’s just a matter of having both bikes in on a day we’re filming! Thank you as always for the support🧡⚙️
What a beautiful bike. I think this era of bikes was the best. Look great and easier to work on.
I completely agree 🧡
I've gotten into the habit now of removing the rubber brake pads from my (rim brake) bikes and checking for wear and engrained flint and metal shards, then give them a light filing. Protect your rims!
Good habits!🧡
Love watching your videos Lee, always enjoy watching a craftsman at work.
As always thank you stuart it’s always humbling to see the continued support and interest in the videos it blows us away🧡

Mountain bike pedals on a road bike 😂😂
Each to there own I guess....
Nice video 👍
And on an Evo no less. Oh well. I did the same when I first got into cycling. Not everyone wants to feel "locked into" their bike.
Afternoon Team Bikespeeds 👋. Another top servicing bike video. A great bike no doubt to service. Looked superb when finished guys. Chapeau to you!
Thanks Graham! From lee and Simon! Back again tonight and always appreciate your comments 🧡

this is the only youtube channel left that isn't garbage and enjoyable to watch. Once this channel is gone im not using youtube anymore
Really kind thank you!🧡
Top work! Everything great about road bikes here! Sram red was awesome back then.. Light and strong 💪 ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! THANK YOU🧡💪🏼
Cracking job and love the setup of this bike. Everything is manageable and makes servicing so much easier 👏
This era is always a breath of fresh air! Nothing nerve wracking🧡
Lovely job. as ever, your attention to detail is exemplary
Thanks as always Jeremy!🧡
Work of the gods
Rim brake after rim brake after rim brake bike.
OK Bikespeeds, we see your new addiction.
Well just get a Scott Addict!
We want more!
It’s just what we’ve had in at the moment!🧡
@@Bikespeeds Not complaining, Dang! Bring it on!
Love youre video's, greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you! 🧡🇳🇱
Second that. Greeting from Netherlands x2 !🎉🎉
Great work. I didn't know that about the proprietary crank extractor tool for Cannondale cranks.
I’ve used the tool a lot lately!🧡

Thanks as always Andy!🧡
Love Cannondales.. I own 2 supersix evos old and new beautiful bikes.. amazing job as always wow 😊❤ Pete 🚴🏻👍
That’s awesome! Glad to have gotten one of yours on the channel!🧡
That ultrasonic cleaned groupset added so much to bike. Anyways, great service as always, thank you!
Thanks for the support again!🧡⚙️
Except from those hideous platform pedals, this is bike is a stunner ❤

Always playing with settings, it’s slightly louder this week, audio is something we’re not experts at🧡
Had one of these Evo's once, awesome bike, but recall that those SRAM single pivot brakes were really terrible on carbon braking surfaces.
Nice bike great job buddy 👍🇬🇧
Thanks Leslie!🧡
yaaay! a new video! thank you so much!

Enjoy it!🧡⚙️

I don’t, i think these were loose by coincidence 🧡

I’ve found it to make no difference in my own practices but it can’t effect it negatively 🧡
Hi Lee I have SRAM 12 speed electronic gear shifting. Should I just leave the battery connected when cleaning and just use the same water based spray cleaner as yourself and not degreaser, many thanks in advance
I would leave them and be very careful to avoid almost anything on it🧡
great frame & groupset red chainset would compete it 👍 looks like being used as a commuter with them pedals 🤔 top job 🚴👌
Cool bike, something different! Thanks again Geordie!🧡⚙️
That bartape though yeesh 🤦
Rim brake lives matter ❤
Going strong!🧡⚙️

Don’t you fear cleaning solvent will go into the sealed derailleur part’s and deteriorate the grease in there in the ultrasonic bath?
Not in my experience so far 🧡

Wear wise no, but I like it more none the less, it is more premium 🧡
What year is that?
I’m not sure! 🧡
Flat pedals on a SuperSix...
What's going on with those pedals ?
Nothing. It is just the riders preference. However I would have recommended pedals with a nose guard if he doesn't like clipless.
@@rosomak8244 What's a noseguard ?
The Pedals😮😢
Love the 1 percenters.
Thanks for the kind support!🧡⚙️
Another great video, but please, please, please stop calling cranks "pedal arms".
It looks like you would benefit from using a Nepros 3/8" quick spinner which would allow you to easily spin the 3/8" hex while engaged with the wrench. For example when removing the pedals you use the 3/8" hex on the wrench to brake the pedal loose then once loose you remove the 3/8" hex and turn it by hand. With the quick spinners you can easily spin the 3/8" hex while its still on the wrench.
Hi
Hi!🧡
Is a evo a supersix evo or what kind of is it never heard of it.
Yes, in 2014 cannondale released some super six evo frames with just the evo decals.
@@wouter6053 cheers, did not know that
It says super six on inside of forks as well.
Title changed!🧡⚙️
yes
That rear brake cable is a Cannondale special, it only happens on the cannondales with the cable going into the headtube 😂 fortunately I don't have that issue anymore as I switched to a S-Works
I’ve seen it many times! Thanks for watching🧡⚙️
My bike isn’t dirty it’s debris infused thank you very much.
I get my gear cables from Amazon £10 for 10 cables ,😀
Ha ha this bike is now a million dollars. Minus half a million for service charge.
