What do you think about the Caad 13 BB30 bottom bracket? Have you experienced noise? If You muy choose: Cannondale Caad13 disc or BMC Teammachine two disc? Thanks.
I have had a Caad12 for 4 years. Has been fine. The two are at such different price points, it's very hard to comment. But yes a Caad13 with better wheels (worth the price difference + money you make selling the Caad13 stock wheels) would be better than a stock Teammachine. I have a Caad12 and Teammachine...both on aksiums and 105 groupset....
Congrats ronit on 1k subs many more to come.Just wanted to know if a good alu would suffix a begineer to road cycling as all 105 alu are coming in range between 1.5 lac while java all carbon comes it at same price.Which one would be your pic for endurance rides
105 Premium aluminium over Java Carbon. Anyday. Everyday. (I have a BMC TEAMMACHINE SLR02 and a Cannondale caad12. So I know what difference there is.)
Where can I find used Cannondale CAAD road bikes in India? Is there a specific store where I can buy road bikes, not just Cannondale, but also from other brands as well?
Wanted to know which is better to buy, a carbon bike with alloy wheels or a high end alloy bike with a better group set and carbon wheels. With both frame and wheels carbon will make the bike really expensive and if not then is likely to come with a cheaper group set. So performance and budget wise then what should a buyer go for???
What if one of the 5 sizes that BMC offers is a perfect fit for you, would that change your opinion of the bike? I live in the US and of the 4 sold here they are all the same price and Trek and BMC are the only 2 of the companies that offers complete Shimano components(even the chain) whereas same old story with Cannondale and Specialized deciding for me. They also are the only 2 to offer carbon seatposts. Have you ridden all 7 bikes? Not being facetious really looking for a real world review of the BMC ALR. Because it is THE Only one of the 4 in the US with a threaded BB. So if all things considered, would the BMC be a fantastic choice IF one of those 5 sizes happens to fit you like a glove?
If one of the 5 sizes fits, good for you. I would still get the Emonda ALR over the BMC. But given that those two are the only ones available and with a full groupset, (which is important for you) it's worth considering. I have ridden the Emonda, Teammachine ALR and Caad13 and Caad13. If anything, the 12/13 crank is stiffer than 105 but the bb30 is a bummer yes. Didn't creak for me. Just sheer luck. Did creak for quite a few around me. If reliability of a threaded is very important for you, you may well get the bmc. Just that the Emonda ALR very rarely creaks either (Trek bikes do...hence they moved to T47 but not the Emonda alr so much). For me the ride of the onda alr always felt more mature than the BMC's. I am a PhD student in Mathematics. I take bikes from friends and ride. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to get all the bikes in hand and ride them and film them in the same day. I know it's always more beneficial and trustworthy if they were present in the video in flesh. But yes the Emonda felt stiffer and rode better for me. Do take a test ride of both and see which rides and feels better for you as sizing isn't an issue. Teammachine fits and Emonda ALR has 7/8 sizes so some should fit.. Talk to your LBS. If they take the bike back no questions asked in case of Trek if it creaks, I wour take the Emonda. If not, probably the Teammachine with threaded bb. Happy Biking.
@@ronitdebnath Thanks for the response. I wanted the BMC aluminum Roadmachine a few years back and unfortunately they discontinued that model. When i saw that they had another aluminum frame and being in the market for a fast bike, feels like it's meant to be. But I have to ride it. If it's anything other than sublime, I'm getting the Caad 13. I can certainly appreciate the R&D of Cannondale and the commitment that they've made. I'm glad that you have ridden most of these bikes and not just some dude sitting in front of a camera reading off the specs. I don't doubt that the Emoda is awesome. That is the only bike that I've seen of the four, but I think that is a little conservative looking. So if the size 57 fits and there is little discernable difference between the Caad and BMC then it's the BMC for me. Thanks for the review
Feel free to. I have a BMC Teammachine SLR02 Three myself. Have nothing against BMC. Just that I haven't seen the prowess of their carbon bikes in their aluminium bikes. If the bmc looks, fits, feels good for you and you enjoy the extra reliability plus full groupset you should get it. Different people have different priorities. Bmc suits yours quite well.
@@ronitdebnath Did some digging. Bbinfinite solves the issue of the BB. Definitely getting a Caad 13. Now don't know if I want the 105 or the Ultegra. Thanks for expanding my line of thinking.
It does on the rim brake ones not discs. Try to see again. That is what o remember. I maybe wrong. They cannot evade the Hydraulic line to rear wheel or something like that...
This is completely useless and boring. What is the point in reading out the spec sheets of bikes like a school teacher in an Indian high school? Ride each bike live and discuss the finer things of each please
Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately this channel is not at the State where I can test the bikes in video. I work full time as a PhD student. I appreciate you stating your disappointment with the video. Once I am able to do this full time, I hope to do more justice. Sorry for not having the bikes at hand. The channel isn't big enough for that yet. But hope to be there someday and not disappoint.

Great work ! Thank you for setting all this out.
Thanks. A sub would help and keep you upto date with newer videos.

Congrats Ronit..All the best..
Thanks
Where can I find used Cannondale CAAD road bikes in India? Is there a specific store where I can buy road bikes, not just Cannondale, but also from other brands as well?
For used bikes try the Cyclop group on Facebook. For Cannondale bikes new specifically there are some state of the art Firefox stores. Maybe there.
Wanted to know which is better to buy, a carbon bike with alloy wheels or a high end alloy bike with a better group set and carbon wheels. With both frame and wheels carbon will make the bike really expensive and if not then is likely to come with a cheaper group set. So performance and budget wise then what should a buyer go for???
Pls feel free to call me at +919564527431. I would gladly explain over the phone.
Thanks a ton….will do
Congrats Rohit. thank you for all your informative videos
Glad you liked them. I ll keep posting similar videos. Happy Biking.
Buen día, diría que te falto incluir la CANYON ENDURACE AL7 O AL6 como seria esa diferencia con Palace 3 de Bowman y CAAD 13 Cannondale
what is the total weight of both?
