Super V 500 - What year?

[cannondalefanatic]

I'm currently looking at this Team Blue one, and it seems like it's a 2001, but in the 2001 catalog it doesn't list team blue as an option (of course it's really hard to read too ). 2000 didn't seem to have a 500 as an available model.

Any ideas?

Also can anyone tell me about the Headshok Fatty? Did some not have any adjustment at all? This one doesn't appear to and I can't tell if that means no lockout or just no rebound adjustment?

There was a Team Blue 2000 SV500 in Europe only. I think that's what you are looking at. The Super Fatty M fork only had preload adjustment I think, no lockout. Check the specs on this page:

Thanks for the info. I'm learning new things every day Didn't realize not all headshoks were air sprung. I guess I should have known but this was the first time I encountered one in person. Kept trying to find the air valve. We took the top cap off, and saw an allen screw underneath, so I'm guessing that's what adjusts the preload.

One more question, is there a specific spot I can research as to what shocks I could replace the rear shock with? I'm guess the most important measurements are going to be the eye-to-eye length and any bushings needed for the mounts.

Risse has some options for Cannondales. I would guess Fox does as well.
