Hello everyone!
Just last week, I uploaded a video explaining why as a beginner I chose the #Cannondale #CAAD12 as my first road bike. On this video, I explain the upgrades I have done since I bought my bike. The current setup is the following:
Crankset: Ultegra R8000
Bottom Bracket: C-BEAR BB30A
Brakes: Ultegra R8000
Rear D: Ultegra R8000
Front D: Ultegra R8000
Shifter/levers: Ultegra R8000
Cassette: Ultegra R8000 11-30t
Saddle: Fizik Antares R1 Versus evo
Seatpost: FSA K-Force
Chain: KMC X-11 Gold
Handlebars: Pro Vibe
Stem: Deda Superzero
Wheelset: Mavic Ksyrium Pro Exalith
Tires: Continental GP4000
Music: Epidemic Sound
the bike looks cool, the chain brings the extra bling to the setup.
I got the same saddle and I’m loving it so far… my first test saddle
Damn - think you have already graduated from the beginner bike category! Impressive!!! Going to get my son to watch as he wants to get into cycling as well.
Beautiful bike
Thanks!
great review on your cannondale upgrades. i have the caad 10 ultegra 2013 size 50 with upgraded mavic wheelset. i have a 95mm stem and was thinking of going shorter to maybe 80mm for more comfort. you went slightly longer although you have slightly smaller frame.
Hey, nice setup off caad, the last best alu frame !
Very nice. I made the same upgrades with the same wheels, saddle and tires. For the drivetrain, i used Campagnolo Super Record EPS. I kept the SpideRing for the crankset.
Nice! I would like to see photos of your bike! I don’t think I have ever seen a CAAD12 with Super Record EPS. Out of curiosity, how would you compare with Shimano?
@@tokyocyclist2509 The EPS is as good as the Shimano Di2. I have a preference over the ergonomics of the Campag shifters, but charging the EPS is more of hassle, whereas the Di2 is easy to recharge.
i went the opposite way, from shimano Ultegra to hollowgram SL on the crankset dilemma, the extra nonsense weight of the adapter was the decider for me, i dont see the point of not using a crankset that is lighter than dura ace at a much lower cost.
damn, my caad12 is about 9.5kg. Apart from wheels where are the biggest weight saving gains made without breaking the bank? I did have a supersix which i crashed but instead of buying another one I just wanna weight save my caad12 and invest in a gravel bike.
Hi, love your channel. Keep it up!
- My caad13 has the same creaking noise and I am planning to upgrade the BB like you did. Do you still use the same BB ? How is it after almost a year ?
- Aside from the looks, is upgrading the chain worth it ?
Get rid of the BB ASAP - literally drove me crazy but worth it. I had my old factory BB for about 3 months before it started creaking and I know a few other people with CAAD12's who have the same, it's notorious for creaking. Grab yourself a c-bear or custom BB and you'll be glad you did :)
nice videos!! love the CAAD12, qhat size is your bike, i ride a 54 slate colour bike and loving it!!!
Thanks! It is a size 48.
do you have or had problems with bb30 ? what's your height and size of the bike, are you content with that ?
Your chain is on backwards.
Hello is this a 48cm size? Nice bike.
Thanks! Yes, it is a size 48.
hello i'm planning to own one...i have a 169cm height is 48 sized enough for me? or 50? thanks
Hi. I am 165cm, so a size 48 might be too small for you. I would go for size 50 instead. However, you do need to take into account your inseam.
@@tokyocyclist2509 thankyou for the info.still got an issue with bottombracket with the BB30 to ultegra R8000..seriously impressed by your caad12 build..superb look!
Hey, I am 166cm and I ride a size50 with a 90mm stem and a 42cm handlebar. I have 170cm cranks. The bike fits like a glove. In short a 50cm is perfect for you. Hope this helps. God bless you. Ride safe.
This is bb30? Can u give link to same bb but for bb30A (for CAAD13, cos stock bb start creaking 😕)
The CAAD12 also uses a BB30A bottom bracket. I got my C-bear bottom bracket at: www.sigmasports.com/item/C-Bear/BB30A-Cannondale-Bottom-Bracket/EVWS
@@tokyocyclist2509 thanks! When u install this bb creak noise is gone? How many kms you already riding?
Sorry for replying late. It’s been almost 5,000+ km and no creaks. However, it is recommended to take it apart once in a while with fresh anti seize paste.
@@tokyocyclist2509 did you notice better performance or better bike response after replacing the crank? i compared my CAAD12 with my Tarmac and i notice the Tarmac is very responsive on climbs comparing to CAAD12 even even though the Tarmac is 1.5 lb heaver!!
The only upgrade you need is to do some yoga. Which is free. Getting more aero is gonna make you significantly faster. Components are really really marginal
