Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Awesome bike you got there, they truly are a hidden gem! Very cool on the titanium bits too 😎 👌

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! If you'd like an in depth purchase walk-through I offer this on my patreon but I'm happy to answer a couple questions! 1. Always make sure you inspect the frame and watch some videos on identifying carbon damage, if you aren't already familiar. 2. For a clean frame without any major cosmetic flaws, PLUS a complete Dura-Ace 7700 groupset for $440 is a GREAT PRICE! Dura-Ace 9 speed is some of the best road stuff you can buy, only downfall is shifter grips are becoming rare and you need to keep an eye out by setting ebay alerts.

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Unfortunately, I sold this mower when I moved in August. In the description you'll find a link to an online owners manual I used for diagrams though! I also used the model # and jackssmallengines.com to find missing parts off my mower using their diagrams too!

Thanks for the question, and please take a moment to subscribe! Yes, good quality for sure! If you checkout many of my recent build videos you'll find videos of me shifting them with microshift shifters. Very smooth shifts.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Congrats on an important repair! Often times bikes have HUGE cable lengths and are setup super loose! I ALWAYS recommend to upgrade to Shimano pads and Sealed housings, the stopping power difference will be shocking!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Congrats on your new bike! I no longer have mine but it was a very cool bike! If memory serves me correctly, when I posted the video it sold.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Very cool & congratulations on your new bike!! There's not many of them around in the USA either, it's a very cool find!

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY thanks for your answer ! do you know about how much is it worth in usa ?

Just now seeing this! I'd imagine around $550 pretty easily if all stock

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! One thing I forgot to mention is to check your blade spindles while you're in there, I ended up doing both of mine 4 months later.

Hi again! I always just used new oil (cheap) but yes you definitely want to lube up all contact spots on the cams and when dropping in the lifters on the sides and top! These are the only areas that're important. Assuming you already bled your lifters out, dont forget that before install! If you pulled your fuel pump fuse like me, you will leave it out once finished and turn the car over for 20-30 seconds. This'll prime the engine with fuel as well as oil, so nothing will be dry and it'll start up quicker.

Many thanks again! You are moving right along on this job my friend! Make sure to get the specific Antifreeze I use btw!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Unfortunately I can't find my original craigslist post anymore but I feel like these were 25c or 28c tires and space wasn't an issue. I almost always have a build sheet but its been a while since I sold this bike, sorry!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I'd try measuring with a micrometer and see if amazon has some universal kits. If not try ebay or Vintage Cannondale Facebook groups, there are some cannondale guys on there with hard to find parts!

Thank you, kind sir!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I totally agree though it's such an awesome bike!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I'd use a 1/2" ratchet and a pipe it'll break that bolt loose easy!

Timestamp what you're talking about

Charm.li is the free reference I'm using, probably easier to figure it out if you see the book.

I'm in USA we are late adapters to metric system unfortunately lol. I am just telling you what the specs are from the book, don't shoot the messenger! For smaller numbers like 10 ft/lb I do convert them on my phone to in/lb and use the smaller torque wrench when needed. To be honest anything this low 99% of people just ignore and do it by hand lol.

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY Thanks. But I am Canadian LOL! Ultimately, I used the torque wrench only for the first tightening. Then I simply used the old method, i.e. tightened it by hand as before! LOL! Thanks. Now I move on to the next stage: lifters

Nice man! Great work!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Heck yeah those are very cool and definitely a sought after road bike! If you look back my very first video (don't hold it against me lol!) it was a Schwinn MTB inspired from the Schwinn PDG and I do a part 2 of the after build! Those are definitely PEAK Schwinn days IMO! Maybe one day I'll find one my size and on a budget!

Hi Scott thanks for the kind words and please take a moment to subscribe if you haven't already! I've always figured if it works when it's 30 years old it'll work long enough for me haha. Great way to slowly save on parts that add up quick too!

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I thought the same on the paint, came out awesome! You defintely hit the nail on the head with the ultrasports, they are BIG TIRES lol! The lady I sold it to did the exact same race and went 45 MINUTES faster so it was much faster for sure! On the stripped allen/crank bolt cover, good tip! I tried EVERYTHING but I didn't try a torqx mainly bc I don't have one on a screwdriver type. I hammered in a flathead, gripped that with pliers and used the sledge to turn it while pressing in. I'll have to grab some torqx screwdrivers soon though!

I'm using an actual Schwinn catalog for reference (you can see it in the video a couple times) and have never seen a bicycling mag article. This is also a 1988 so I don't think you are correct here.

I have heard similar. I do know that a 27.0 seatpost is either cromor/matrix or sp. Where as SL/SLX is 27.2, which makes sense as a thinner, lighter tubing with a similar OD.

You make a good point here Impaled, this frame uses a 26.6mm as well.

Many thanks again JG! Very kind of you!

Many thanks JG that was very kind of you, I appreciate that!!🙏

Hi JG, thanks for the question and please take a moment to subscribe. Are you asking about the valvecover gasket?

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY no, any gasket! EGR, water outlet, inlet manifold, exaust manifold and head gasket. (PS. I was send @$ Merci)

Yes thank you that was very kind! These newer style gaskets don't need any silicone on them and adding any will likely make it leak. We have been driving the heck out of our forenza for over 5k miles with no issue.

@@D2WrenchWorksDIY Thanks, but how to make to gasket don't move when I put in? (I send MERCI 2$ More!)

Many thanks again! To hold the gaskets in place when needed like thermostat housing for example, I use vasoline as it's sticky and cheap plus won't hurt anything in the engine. Dielectric grease would work great too 👍

Hi N8 Thanks for the comment, and please take a moment to subscribe! Yeah, I honestly bought this bike because it was ALWAYS top rated on amazon, but I've literally never seen one used or even one being ridden. I'm sorry to hear about the MTB calipers, but I can't say I'm surprised and stuff like this is just inexcusable, especially cheaping out on safety items like brakes. The wheels are definitely something with a short shelf life and are better just upgrading completely, 100%. Stuff like the bartape, saddle, and tires are absolutely something you should trash from the get-go. It's an added cost, which is always unwelcome, but constant flats are a huge pain, and being uncomfortable sucks. Now, with all that said, once I was done with the bike, I rode it to sell to the new owner and it honestly felt great. I mean, it took me like 6 months in searching and chasing after customer service for headset stuff, but it was nice when I was done, lol. Just alot of hidden costs because they cut corners and aren't a real bike company nor any different than a Walmart bike IMO.

Hi Chuck! Sorry for the delay; we were forced to move recently due to house issues and I've been crazy busy! Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! Is your bike also a triple crank with Shimano 8spd shifters? Im actually going to do a video on this I've decided! I've been getting the question alot and I just bought a bike that has this exact issue.

Hi Chuck, I actually just replaced the from derailleur on my OCR3 (spring tab broke, like they all do) and a "FD-R2030 Claris 8-speed front derailleur" is what I used. It's commonly available and works with no problems.

Hi Stella! Thanks for the comment unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with your type of transmission as my mower uses a totally different system. I would try using your model number to find the owners manual online it has excellent diagrams for trouble shooting!

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I have several Cannondales here; CAAD3, CAAD4, CAAD5 and they all take a 27.2mm seatpost.

Hi TJ, thanks for comment and please take a moment to subscribe!

Happy to help! Please take a moment to subscribe if you havent already!

Thanks for kind words! Please take a moment to subscribe if you havent already! I actually have an almost identical Giant build im gonna do soon, so stay tuned!

Hi Carlos! Many thanks for the kind words, I appreciate that! Please take a moment to like and subscribe too!

Hi Deepak! Thanks for kind words and the laugh, unfortunately despite 600k views I'm stuck using a busted cellphone. The small channels dont make much money, so I do the best I can haha. This is a good time to ask you to subscribe and like the video lol. I actually have a video on a very similar r2000 and I've had this issue before where, when bolted to handlebars, the shifter is engaged by the shifter grips and im wondering if that's your issue. Almost never do you see these new generation shifters having issues unless someone previously jammed a cable and forced the shifter which isn't a grease situation at all. Here's the video: ruclips.net/video/reAHjMnMCQg/видео.html

Hi Lawrence, please take a moment to subscribe if you havent already! Thanks for the kind words I appreciate that!

Yes I agree the price change sucks, but this video is using price from upload date.

And, any idea if those decals exist for purchase somewhere? The decals on my frame are super faded/scratched, and would like to update them if possible. I would even buy plain white decals and paint them pink if needed.

Hi Tate! Sorry for the long delay, I have been moving the past month but wanted to answer your questions thoroughly, please also take a moment to subscribe! So this frame takes a standard modern 1" headset! Origin 8 pro is a perfect example, I recently used a cheaper THREADLESS version from NECO you can find here: amzn.to/47zBNIo if you aren't using a threadless fork like I am, you can see the headset cup specs. The bottom bracket is a standard 68mm threading and the width is dependent on your crankset being 2x or 3x. I highly recommend a cheap digital micrometer from amazon so you can verify your frame for yourself. For the decals basically ANYONE on Etsy or ebay will have cannondale decal kits or if you measure your lettering and Google a color # you like, they'll make it cheap! Keep an eye out for my next Cannondale project coming out too!

Hi Wilytuber and thanks for the question! Please take a moment to subscribe! All forks rigid or suspension have an angle to them, called the rake. On a OEM suspension bike, you are asking about adding a larger travel fork and yes there will be minor changes but you should stay close to oem travel to minimize it, somewhat. You may notice the steering is faster or slower depending on the way you went in suspension travel. Its extremely likely you wont though, at first a bigger fork may steer slower, or not be as twitchy but you will soon adjust. When it's minor differences like this, you dont see any negative performances. Now going from an 80mm fork to an 140mm travel fork is a substantial difference but on a hardtail where geometry isn't as affected you could get away with it. l always try to match the travel of the original fork to what I got or slightly bigger and its always worked well for me. Also I'd always recommend at least trying it, regardless, because a bike being able to be ridden is better than one that cant!

Hi Stephen, thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! We were recently displaced from our house because of flood damage and have been dealing with moving, so forgive the delay! I am curious if a wire was pinched or there could be a vacuum line. This is an extremely difficult issue to diagnose without putting my hands on it, but here's what I'd do, retrace your mechanics steps using this video: -1. Check your grounds and vacuum lines, including your pcv valve. All of these are clutch related and could be a vacuum leak or ground issue. -2. Are all connections fully pressed in from this video? Sometimes, unplugging and fully pressing in plugs gets them to fully snap in -3. Run the car for codes and proceed from there -4. I hate Facebook, but they have some EXPERT folks in Matrix & Pontiac Vibe groups, I'm in all the groups myself and reference them often for oddball stuff like this!

Hi Phillip, please take a moment to subscribe and thanks for the kind words I appreciate that! I try to the best I can haha

Thanks man and please take a moment to subscribe! I have a few other 5200 builds on the channel and a similar LeMond! I absolutely love these frames and I wish I had one today though! I used to take mine on singletrack rides through state parks actually haha so you asked the right guy! You can DEFINITELY fit 28c tires but not 30c's, the ONE TIRE that I wouldn't buy is the 28c Continental Ultrasport's because they are HUGE compared to other 28c tires. Thickslick, Bontrager race and Panaracer Pasela are some of the brands I know 100% will work. My current Cannondale caad4 is super tight on 28c tolerances so I just went through this last year haha. If you are unsure I would definitely use amazon prime for easy returns in case the tire doesn't fit!

Hell yeah man me too haha! Take a moment to subscribe and then checkout my personal Cannondale, I love it too! ruclips.net/video/E0vzeBeG1to/видео.html If you search "Cannondale" on my channel you will find 13 videos so far with at least THREE more to come! 👀

Hi thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! I looked up owners manuals online and did some digging. On the levers, mine did as well but I usually remove them and toss em on ebay for $15.

Thanks for the comment and please take a moment to subscribe! CFR you say!? Well I got some videos for you bud! They're awesome bikes! Part 1: ruclips.net/video/hPiKQTVcLs4/видео.html Part 2: ruclips.net/video/ZEGmOpG1qXg/видео.html You'll want to slide out the inner dustcaps on the RSX shifters, it's better to remove these and soak them in hot water for while! The 7 speed shifters can be the absolute worse so use hot water and a degreaser and be patient.

Hi Paul congrats on the new bike and please take a moment to subscribe! Im a little jealous haha I only got a cheapie GT rigid mtb on the curb once, your bike is way cooler! I actually have ANOTHER one of these OCR's but a Sora group and it's been left abandoned, so look out for that video soon!
