- This bike, for me, is as good as any current gen bike. It fits me perfectly and enables a good position. Simple as that really.
present us with all your bikes please.
My first road bike after 40 years of running. Love it and have had many epic rides on it.
I love this build! The versatility of the components you put together is amazing. One these days I'd like to build my own bike. Keep us informed...please.
Cannondale offers quite good geometry for us taller riders and the Thomson seatposts are really“masterpieces“
You can build great bikes from used stuff for small money that you can trust! Love it 🤙
Thanks for the explanation - I just picked one up and I appreciate hearing about the the upgrades you did - lots of good ideas.
I've just sold my 2.8. Great great grandfather of this. What a bike that was. In 1993.
Love the caad 10 it was a benchmark before the 12 and 13. Still stands out til now
Love that you told us about the seat post twice
I got a caad 8 2016 and love it its my winter bike been a trustworthy friend for many years and still feels very racey too I cannot fault it.
I have a 1st model year CAAD10 and I love it. Just refreshed the drive train tonight and put on a new tire set and pads and it feels better than ever. 12k plus miles on it.
Cool build man. I've build a backup bike myself. It's a Concorde Mistral 340. With the DA 7800 parts I swapped from my race bike. I wish TH-cam had the option for posting pics in the comments so I could show you. We don't have winter here(Curaçao) But we have rainy days in October thru December. And that's when I'm gonna use it most. I've done some 312 km on it already. It was a 3x9, converted to a single 42 - 16 and now into a 2x10 52-39/11-28.
Love my caad10 too, actually get excited to take it out now and again just for the ride quality
A truly great frame set i have one for years my number 1 bike to go to for all weathers eight in our club and no one will sell them says it all thanks for the video.
CAAD 10 and 12 are just sublime machines with Ultegra/DA and carbon wheels.
Have ridden a caad 8 for the last two years. Amazing bike!
Me too. I have a 2016 caad8. Great frame. It was the final year this frame was produced. I need nothing else.
I love my caad10 new to road riding and bought it new oldstock last year. I’m not a big fan of carbon everything especially the pricetag that goes with it I opted for higher spec components vs a carbon frame. Caad gets the job done well it’s a super snappy frame can out sprint the 2021 Emonda I test rode!
Love my caad10, 6 years and counting, it’s just hard to let go
That's what I call a bike in my eyes lovely machine.
I can tell your passion is cycling and love your tips!
Sold my CAAD10 at the beginning of pandemic to a friend. Ended up buying it back. Such a overall good frame minus the bb30 like you said lol.
I love my 2010 canondale synapse ditched bb30 for a hambini bb and Shimano hyperlink 5 bolt cranks my summer bike but I’ve gone back to 1992 steel giant peleton and my 1987 Raleigh competition I’m loving the comfort and tranquility. For years bikes have got stiffer faster and noisier, having found a quiet free hub on some old giant sr2s it has transformed my cycling enjoyment.
I'm not much of a rider, but the caad 10 is the only real road bike I've ever had. Love it. And like someone else here, I'm running 28mm tyres without any issues. Lots of rocky dirt roads around here.
Nice winter bike! I use the same handlebars on mine, a rebuilt Allez Comp, can’t go wrong. I really like the Ultegra mini group. I use Di2 in the summer but for rain/winter I also use the Ultegra Mechs. I find I really like the feel, something about throwing the right shifter is just so satisfying. I use a M30 Praxis Zayante. Price was right! No issues, crisp shifting, never had a galling problem. But you definitely push more power. I also pull the crank twice a year, grease it up, no worries. Sad to hang it up for the summer, but maybe we’ll get some rain. 😂
I can fully recommend a CAAD Optimo as a winter bike - same exact frame as CAAD10 with slightly heavier aluminium but with a threaded bottom bracket!! Mine came with 105 R7000 apart from shit callipers that I’ve moved up to 105.
I love my CAAD Optimo as well, not the lightest but it super durable and also really comfortable. I've been meaning to upgrade but it checks all the boxes.
I did a build with a new 2016 caad 8 frame/fork last year and i cannot get enough of it lol. It's an excellent aluminum frame. I will do a video on it some time soon. 👍
Love my caad10 got it down to 6.9kg with aluminium training wheels. With some 28s squeezed in there it rides so nice.
Nice
very nice I think I need to get one. everyone seems to have on and love it. and need a winter bike
I love my 2015 CAAD10. Hands down, the best bike I've ever owned. The CAAD10 is so good, it is the reason I don't ride carbon anymore.
what size and how tall are you?
Wow, hush your mouth! I have a CAAD 10 in red, 105 group set. And as a recreational rider it all boils down to when you hit dips in the road. For the Cannondale I just raise my butt off the seat and absorb the bumps. Whereas with a carbon bike the bike absorbs the bumps
@@al-du6lb I am 6'3. I have one that's a 58cm and one that's a 60cm. I race and train with the 58cm, but do the rest of my riding on the 60cm
@@terbennett nice, I read this and asked while I was looking for a caad10. I'm a couple inches shorter than you and ended up getting a 56. I've actually never ridden any other road bike, but I'm very happy with it.
I have the same CAAD10 frame, still with the stock 105 10spd it came with. I love it.
CAAD 5 team Saeco replica was my first road bike. Great bike...i understand why u love it so much!
I have a 2013 Caad 10. It my main road bike and it’s loved and admired by all
what size and how tall are you?
Got me a Caad12 black inc. framset and cant wait to build it up. Came with C-BEar BB too for m y shimano ultegra groupset that I plan to buy
Love my 2012 CAAD10/3. Bought new, with only a few changes - HED Belgian au hoops, Durace crank & hubs with balance of G/set Ultegra. Still a great ride and even though my other bike is Custom Legend HT9.5, Campy 12pd Record, I still evenly split my choice of ride.
I like FSA Omega compact too, I have those bars on two of my bikes. Nice shape, low cost, still light weight.
You're a Handlebar connoisseur I see, got that FSA on all my dropbarbikes
At 7,5 kg it’s the same as the brand new Specialized top model. The guy with the CAd10 won a lot local races in my area back in the days. It’s not a bad bike at all.
Very nice, weight is more than respectable and the ride is reliable, if it's aluminum it's gotta be Cannondale imo... Love my caad13👍🏽
I have a caad 9, still ride it, love it.
Love the CAAD12 that I bought used last year. Would be a perfect frame if it would sport the old Cannondale logotype on the downtube.
Just bought a 2012 CAAD10 full Ultegra with the SL-K crank equipped with Aero bars for 620€ and a pair of Mavic Ksyrium Elite (1550g) for 70€, I'm so excited to build and ride it ! Amazing bike so far, absolutely love its nimbleness and responsiveness/road feel, can't wait to start climbing !
I will keep my CAAD10 forever. An all time classic race geometry at a budget price. Bought my frame new for £350, had a new set of training wheels built up last winter. I run it on 28mm GP5000s and it is faster than my 'best' bike. It is a shame that Cannondale have never properly addressed their BB issues, I do find it needs more servicing than my other bikes.
Hello, have you had any issues with clearance using 28mm tyres? Cheers
@@casparstadler7252 I am running Continental Gatorskin 700X28 on my 2011 Caad 10 with zero fitment issues
those rear tyres are great ive used them in the past. can still get them on wiggle on think
Bought a "used" caad10 with loads of carbon goodies for $550 from a bike shop in California. Shipped it home for $175, worth every penny. Weighing in at 7.6kg right now. I had been riding a 2016 Carbon Roubaix, which is 2kg heavier!! Going to throw some flats on the roubaix as a more casual, fun, bikepacking rig and start training on the caad10 full time. Curious to see how it goes!!
I'm in FLorida USA
Ride a 2015 caad 10 58cm
Been riding it since 2018 put on some Shimano 5800 group and HED 60 mm wheelset the thing is rad. Not perfect not the best bike but it get my riding job done every ride.
Cheers that caad 10 is pretty rad dude! Keep good!
Great bike, would be the main bike for me because it has everything I like.... rim brakes, light aluminum frame and great groupset.
good video and agreed on this bike being just as good as current models - have a caad12 and put it through some heavy mileage in all conditions and it's still rocking - a well made all around bike for athletes and not market/instagram custies ;)
Wish there was more CAAD10 talk online. It's peak bike in my opinion. You can get one of these older frames and build up an amazing bike that's better than or equal to the latest marketing gimmick.
Very true. I did just that with a 2016 caad8. It's amazing. I need nothing else.
I have a caad7. Rebuild. it is factory . 60cm. My fixed gear Bianchi pista is 60cm. I had an caad 5 sold it. I was a idiot. But not this time. Caad7 is staying
+1 for the Open Pave tires, absolute favorite. wish they would bring them back
my first road bike is the CAAD10, was abandoned after rear ended by the famous HK taxi and i soon jumped on the disc+carbon bandwagon, in hindsight it is a very nice simple and trusty bike that i should have kept
Vittoria open pave was my favourite tyres too - super supple. Challenge Strada Bianca has similar supple ride feeling.
Seriously thinking about the Caad 10 as an all around setup, it seems to have an top notch reputation. I'd set it up with 11spd 105 mechanical.
Vittoria Open Pave, cool, agree, wish Vittoria would release them again.
'this is my cheap winter workhorse bike'
besides the mismatched drivetrain and tyres this is a pretty bling bike!
great bikes. I drove alu caad8 for some time and got a carbon aerodynamic bike after it - which you dont need, if you are not racing.
I trashed two carbon bikes riding winters in the Peaks and Dales, with one failing catatrophically after 5 years as my daily driver. Switched to a Canyon Ultimate AL SLX, and after the fuss of getting all the 1 and 1/4 parts, its been completely bombproof and pretty comfy. Aluminum rim bikes havea place for anyone who doesn't have a service course or love taking their bike to the shop.
TRUTH!
I ran 28mm Schwalbe pro one tubeless on my CAAD12 which measured over 30mm and that worked fine. By 32 would also work but that's the limit.
Nice call with the paves
We need to talk about that thumbnail sir
I've got a CAAD12 I upgraded with Di2, Ksyrium Pro's, Hollowgram carbon seatpost, carbon bars, weighs 7.5kg, so now it's a CAADi2. )) I will not be buying another road bike any time soon. It's amazing.
cAAD 10.....? A fricking. rocket! I love it!
My one the black ink with full Dura Ace. Hay hay hay! buenooo! Speedy Gonzalez!!
What an awesome bike.
Lemme hold it for a Gcperformance walk around
If ever you want to change to a classic shimano style BB the FSA BB30 to BSA BB adapter is actually pretty light even if it doesn't look it. I just got my hands on a CAAD10 track :)
You could always get a plastic shim to go down to a 22mm Shimano axle. Then you could use shimano chainrings which I’ve found to shift way smoother then any other brand.
My 2010 CAAD 10 is the NEWEST bike I have!
Have the same bike for 2 years now. Mine has 105, and I put some Mavic wheels on it with Conti tyres, a Koolstop brake pads and a Sqlab saddle. The bike weights 7,8 kilo, is incredible stiff, and also soaks up the road vibrations pretty good thanks to a full carbon fork. I was thinking about switching to a carbon bike, but with an aluminium bike beeing soo good, light and comfortable, I am not sure what could I possibly get with the average carbon bike? Not too much I guess...
I have CAAD10 which became super custom with RED22, removed all paint, wet sanded few tubes, soda blasted to give some even texture before hard coat anodized black. Fork has just a coat of satin clear after it was stripped of all paint and filler ( there were four layers on it). I was shocked that size 54 with alloy clinchers... under UCI weight. Love the bike but only sucky thing is BB30.
Put a BBinfinite bracket in there, creaking solved.
Love those gore gloves, great for cool conditions nice handlebar feel
This is my 2nd pair. The 1st pair, the threads started to go after literally 1 week of riding
@@PeakTorque I’ve got two pairs, the threads go after a lot of riding and washes
I normally just use them for when im out doing jobs with the sniper rifle. They look badass
Cannondale needs to reissue the old CAAD aesthetic
the 13 is a turkey
You said it, man. Echoing many a desire there. Cannondale seriously dropped the ball in recent years on a number of design and aesthetic levels.
But hey, makes finding an original CAAD10 all that more rewarding :)
@@xxiipp Hows the 13?
@@PeakTorque I have a 13 disc. Uncool anaswer but I love it! I'm a former 12 owner and this bike is different but handles just as well and feels fast. Admittedly it doesn't look as cool...
What brand is your cycling jersey ? Looks good!
There is something about a bike that fits and rides well. You tend to not worry about the weight if it’s not a total anchor.
And why not use anti seize (copper grease) on the spindle?
Proud caad12 owner, the last real caad. Also, running 28mm rear tyre without any problem.
What are your problems with the Caad 13? Serious question.
What wheels are you using?
@@geraldtone5914 Caad lineup is all about classic and timeless looks and feel. Great performance at a great price. Caad13 broke Caad's DNA and essence.
@@Yes-sc1pb campagnolo eurus.
@@sebastianmanriquez7376 ohh what's the internal and external rim width?
vouch for the handlebars, got the same ones
Love my CAAD10 Black inc - anodised frame, hi mod fork and internal cable routing. Stuck a carbon save seatpost in and couldn’t tell the difference between my ss evo.
after 3 years and about 20000km swapping for supersix evo same geometry same thing just a bit stiffer so yeah, good bike as well with di2 perfect but was about time...
I love the CAAD10 and CAAD12 (which i have). I would love to get a CAAD10 like yours but its quite a bit more than £240 GBP now i suspect. Given that you can get the weight down on these bikes, and the carbon horror stories from Hambini and Luescher Teknik, do i really need a carbon bike? Most of us don't race competitively. I get it may be more comfortable absorbing road shock etc. but really are carbon bikes worth it? I was hit by a car (on wrong side of road) on my other alloy bike 3 months ago. I was not hurt, and the bike was not damaged (which i couldn't believe given the noise of the crash). anyway the only thing that failed was the carbon seatpost.
I love my CAAD 10. It’s my commuter 😁
Me too!
Really good value.A bit like some of the Klein 's ,light.stiff good used choice.
Always loved a Klein.
So i was trying to find the cause of a rubbing noise when in the big ring for a long time...using the rotor noq aero chainring...you might just gave me an explanation for it!
Nice bike, always like the case 10 frame would grab one in a 56cm but not many about
l like that one better than any of the NEW ones :) That make a great bad weather rider
Had that exact frame. Corroded in maybe 2 years and had to be warrantied. Also why do you insist on using those older Vittorias instead of the newer Corsa Control G2.0?
What is the name of your cycling jersey?
Do you have any insight on when the bike industry supply chain recovery timeline?
I just got a CAAD10 myself, size 60 aswell. 8,7kg with 105 and some shite wheels.
Could you make a spec list? Id like to get mine below 8kg!
Good news! They sell vittoria paves 27mm on wiggle. Love that tyre.
Oh nice!
found a mint caad10 105 for $550, best bike for the money
Go to see, my equivalent winter bike (seeing I live in Australia) is a Canyon Ultimate AL8 from 2007, it tips the scale just over 7kg with 10 speed SRAM red. (Has been UCI illegal with carbon tubulars and carbon bars). Problem is max tyre size is 25mm.
I rode an Ultegra CAAD10 until it died on me recently. I noticed a huge crack in the chainstays behind the chainring. Already ripped though a quarter of the circumference of the tube. Fatigue issue I think. Got it second hand, so no warranty claim possible. Sold it for parts.
I was quite happy with the geometry and it's ability to handle being mistreated. BB30 sucked. Lots of creaking. Removing the cranks, cleaning and greasing could solve that for 2000km and then it would come back. The original wheelset (mavic aksyum) are also not that great. It was a great upgrade to get some fulcrum racing 4s on there.
Overal I was very happy with it. Bought it for €700 and rode it for 2.5 years. I've now got myself a brand new focus izalco max disc.
A very large buddy of mine cracked his caad 10 frame by the bottom bracket some years ago. He went through warranty with Cannondale and they gave him a brand new caad 12 (since the 10 was discontinued) shipped to his door.
Hi, love your videos! What bike would you suggest me getting as an 18 year old who wants to get into racing at uni? Budget ~£1500
Second hand TCR?
I'd get on your uni club Facebook group and see if anyone is selling a suitable bike, or one that could be made suitable with the leftover budget.
Love my CAAD 10.
Love my 2020 Bianchi Infinito .
BB30 is easy service with the right tools. I use Hybrid ceramic bearings and feel free to replace at the need I'm on my nth set. I have full Red 22 on my 2010 SS (SuperSix) that is on it's third everything. "Winter bike" is a fairy tale. You only need 1. I like your Caad10.
Mudguards off for spring then are they?
If you like that tire it’s on clear out at wiggle/crc right now
Now what is that at the seatpost collar?
Caad 10, is the excellent Supersix in triple butted lightest aluminium 👌👍
I love my Caad10. I'd slightly prefer the Caad12 for the cleaner di2 routing (I rigged mine), but the Caad10.5 would do. BB30 without the "A", no weird seatpost size, etc. Sandwich style hangers are garbage though.
The black anodized ones are the sweetest
what size and how tall are you?
Cannondale’s geometry 📐 is always really refined and power transfer is direct. I too like the floating brake pivoting b/c when the wheels take a hit, you can still get back. Rim 4 the win;-)
Floating makes so much sense, I spent hours screwing with brakes to adjust them to be centered on the rim.
Looking to do a hill climb build, would u recommend this frameset? Supersix evo framesets are still very expensive 2nd hand so the caad is more accessible
Do you need to re grease the cranks interface on the standard FSA crankset? I am planning to buy one of these bikes but with the FSA crankset, and keen to know any issues I might run into.
