Coil-over nuts are usually a pretty loose fit. On the race cars we used to tack a small screw to the bottom of the spring so that we could reach inside the tub and quickly adjust the nut by turning the spring. Never had one that I had to use a wrench on as far as I can remember.

I would doubt that it's cross threaded as the nut is threaded on quite a way and the threads don't appear to be damaged. Probably got some grit down in the clearance between the nut and the shock and galled as a result. The shock thread could also have been damaged by an impact of some sort.

I'll bet you are right. I forgot about the alternate sequence with the dropout spacing code. The first 6 = 126 spacing. As an aside, 66 was offered stock but only as a frameset.

You should be able to figure out the model by comparing the bike to the catalogs. Here's the 2015: https://issuu.com/cannondale_usa/docs/15_c_bike_catalog_us_final_issuu?e=9912505/8937095 Synapse could be carbon or AL framed, disc or rim brake, and the model is generally named after the main...

Cold in the UK also? It's supposed to get down to -4 F/-20 C here tonight. High tomorrow only 14 F/-10 C. Normal high is 43/6 - we've been running well below normal most of the year so far.

Unless it's a very large frame (they made a 66 cm back then), I'm guessing your first digit is a 5. Any chance you transposed an 8 and a 0? 66080890012 or 56080890012 would make more sense. That would translate to the 12th frame made on August 8, 1990. It's conceivable that someone at the...

What information are you interested in? I think Cannondale must have changed to a new system from the one used starting in 2000. Newest frame I have is a 2011 CX. It's bar code tag begins with VM, which I believe translates to 2010, December. There haven't been enough years passed to cycle...

I should have guessed that the seller wouldn't want to ship to Europe. I'd be happy to ship it to you if you want it quicker. I can check rates if you want to check cost.

That's a great concept for a travel bike. Never owned one so had no idea that it could be made compact so easily. Still have the New Success bits? One of my favorite road groups, probably have 6 or so bikes built with it.

I bought my first Cannondale new in 1989, partially because even then it was one of the few quality bikes mass produced in the USA. There were USA made Treks (kind of blah) and Kleins (lots more money). I have one Taiwan Cannondale, a 2011 CAAD8 CX. It's as nice as the US made frames, I...

The Beast frame starts in the 3.0 era, but yours is worthy predecessor. I believe 1991 was the first year that "Beast of the East" was used. I think the BB height is the same as your frame, but your TT has less slope. Interesting build with the drop bar and Campagnolo Ergo levers.

Nice jab at Trek there. Wish they had elaborated on the flex. Can't imagine that much on a new bike even if measured at the back of the tire.

I think your original shock can still be salvaged. Does sound like the threads may be galled. If that's the case, probably the best thing to do is to cut the nut off. That will allow you to clean the shock threads up without damaging them beyond what damage you now have. Of course that will...

I'd be interested in seeing it.

Bike looks great. Does this look like it would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-Super-V-Rear-Shock/123672026448?hash=item1ccb6d5d50:g:Cz0AAOSwJ5dcetUH:rk:22:pf:0

Seller seems to know what he has, evidently one of the first sloping TT Cannondale MTBs. Kind of an odd parts spec though. Anyone know anything about this bike...

It looks great. You might try to locate P clips of the right size to mount to cantilever bosses for brake hose routing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminium-Rubber-Lined-Cushioned-P-Clamp-P-Clip-for-Hose-3-8-1-M10-M25/382312948647?hash=item5903a0a3a7:m:mdTjgOtwm72V_paUEjJN61A:rk:10:pf:0

Perhaps contact Fox?

That Alcoa sticker was on lots of models across the full lineup around that time. I don't have a 2006 print catalog and the scans are not clear enough to read everything, but it appears not all Furio frames have the decal. Does yours have the grey bands around top and down tubes? The spec of...

I have a set in a box. Haven't gotten around to trying them.
