No that is the headset that came with it. I am going to get a zero drop headset though, because I think I can get at least another cm out of the drop. I really fit myself to the bike with the idea of more frame, no spacers, but I think the headset cap (24 mm I think) can be much lower. So that will give me some more room to get more aggressive.

Brent, how tall are you? I've been considering a 54 Slice, in essence to fit myself with more frame, but was concerned it could be a little large. TIA

5'9. Honestly, there was the ability to get two bikes, both of which were not "ideal". And financially, it was between those two bikes. I think the fit is pretty good, and went with the 54 due to worrying that the 51 wouldn't be long enough.

It is def the biggest I could go for sure.

I have short legs...80 cm inseam. 31.5 inches or something. 71 cm on the seat height and drop of 12 cm if i remember correctly. I have a long torso and shorter legs. So keep morphology in mind as you choose. Get the right size but I'm sure you'll LOVE the bike!

---

DFRU - Detta Family Racing Unit...the kids like it and we all get out and after it...gotta keep the fam involved!

I'm 5'8" as well, and I ride a 54 Slice. I'm somewhat long-ish of leg, and a 54 seems to be a little long for my torso (not crazy long, just a little) but I would have to run more spacers on a 51. I went with the mantra to buy a bigger frame and minimize the number of spacers/avoid using an upward angled stem.

I'll get a new picture up in this thread soon...

ACK...this is why we can't have a Slice porn post.

Is the very first pic showing this magnificent steed in the small chainring???

For shame, for shame.

Is your seat too high, or too low?

Coaching - Future Endurance

There was already this old thread on the Slice: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...post=2744346#2744346

Although it's not my bike pictured, I've ridden my 2008 Slice with both an Open Pro + cover and 404FC + cover without any issues. The only issue I have ever had with the wheelcover is the need to tape down the drive side cover so the chain doesn't rub when in the largest cog.

Best of luck,
-Tim

personally, i prefer my cervelo to the cannondale. this is what i think of when i read "slice" -

Here is an "older" Slice with a rear disc:

No trouble fitting the newest Renn disc into the rear triangle or opening the Ultegra brake wide enough.
Look closer and one will find the "new to the market" Compact Cannondale Quarq power meter.

A Garmin 800 Edge is used as the Headunit.

Had it less than a month. Loving it so far. 2011 Slice 5 with Rival.

Champlain lookout?

sweet bike. Do you know how much it weighs? I know, it doesn't matter, but I'm curious.
thx,
jamie

Yeah as it sat there minus the seatpost bottle cage piece it is just over 19 pounds. With bottle cages(1 on seat tube and 2 behind saddle) and Reynolds DV3K wheels ready to ride it is 19lbs 6oz. Definitely not a weight weenie but a fast bike none the less.

Yep! We've been loving the fact the Park is closed up atm. Heading to Wakefield today :)

Coaching - Future Endurance

Here is mine. I also have a SC9.9 and for some reason prefer my Slice. Great bike.

My 2009 Slice kitted with Zipp 808 FCs.

Is yours a 60cm one as well? I've never actually seen another 2009 one at that size.

Yes, you are correct. It is a 60cm frame size. I saw a number of Slices on the race course last weekend at IM Florida, but all of them were newer with different paint schemes. I really like the 2009 paint scheme because it is more understated and less flashy.

May his noodley goodness find you well in your races.

Just got mine yesterday from another owner who had it for less than 3 months. Paid a total of $3400 for this. Ventus team, Q ring, FFWD trispoke and disc, Ultegra black, Fizik Ares. Yet to bring it out for a ride, can't wait!

Dude that is rad. Now I wish I would have jumped on those bars when they popped up on Bonktown!

What kind of headset/dustcap are you running? Looking for a lower stack one for my wife..

---

Coaching - Future Endurance

No idea. I'll check when I go home tonight.

Asad

Don't have the sweet wheels some others do, but hope to get some Flo's on for race season. Since I took the picture I swapped out to a white Adamo TT saddle and am planning to start gradually pulling the last spacers.

---

"It never gets easier, you just go faster."
-Greg LeMond

Looks like the stock one to me.

The headset dust cap says Cane Creek, looks to be about 10mm tall. Not sure if that's the stock one or not; it's the one that came on my (used) frameset when I bought it.

Asad

The stock one on my wife's is 15mm. Trying to find something lower stack. I have an FSA 6.5mm on my P3 but not knowing a thing about headsets or compatibility, I'm asking around :)

That has to be the first Slice I have seen with "road" handlebars. Why such a setup?

Here is a 2010 Slice with the newly released compact Quarq power meter:

the yellow tires need to be swapped out for red ones.
Setup as shown comes in at 17 lbs 10 ounces for 58cm.

Not a slice owner, and haven't really been a fan of cannondales in the past... but I must say these are extremely attractive bikes!!!

---

Long Chile was a silly place.

Just started with triathlon as a former marathon amateur (3:31). Below my Cannondale Slice 2013 105. Completely standard, except for the aerobar which is a bit higher as I need to get used to aero position.

And yes, my seat is level (and not too high).

Damn, all these bikes are beautiful... I'll trade you my super six 3 for your slice!!!...?

What extensions are those? Did you drill the top tube? Can really tell with the dark pics.

hello

the aerobar is a deda kronos first generation , for the hole I have close all the original one (on the left and right down tube) and drill some new one only for the Di2 on the top tube , seat tube and rear

I have some better pics click on it for see them in bigger size



]

And I very nice vision indeed... nice work. Wouldn't mind seeing a zoomed out pic showing your entire set-up.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cannondale issue an upgrade option to the front end of the regular slice (non rs version) in the form of an integrated fork/stem package similiar (basic idea) to the Felt bayonet 2 steering system. Available as a seperate optional item to us current slice owners. They could keep the regular front brake bosses or go as far as to integrate the front brakes like the rs version. A "middle" ground so to speak between the regular slice and the slice rs. Or am I alone on these thoughts.

Sick work. I thought about doing that but my shop talked me out of it. Kudos.

nicely done!

Nicely Done!

I'm sorry but my english is very bad so I haven't understand what you ask me :-(

Anyone out there with the new Slice RS? Thinking about getting one but a bit confused on sizing. Based on the geometry on the Cannondale website looks like a 50 or 52cm will fit me. I'm about 5'6" and currently riding a 51cm Cervelo P3. Leaning toward the 50cm Slice RS based on standover and weight reduction with the smaller frame. Anyone with experience or input on the Slice RS fitting????

https://kiwamitri.com

Yep. I"m digging the new color scheme and was stoked when after my fit to find out it was on the top of the list of bikes that would fit.

My latest slice is a Slice RS. But I do still have a soft spot for my 2011 himod Slice

Here it is with the new Flos

The wheels def set it off. Looks sweet !

Joe C.

What did you do with the cables to get the Speedworks bag up against the stem? Are they just out into the wind or are they fixed somehow?

I wrap the the front velcro straps around the cables on my Slice, seems to work fine without any handling issues.

Hmmmmm, my bag doesn't have front straps. Guess I'll have to figure something else out.
By the way, the paint scheme on that version is bad ass!

What's the going rate for a frame/fork/headset/seat mast on a few year old Slice? I have been eying one, but not sure what the market says as I have not seen any frame only sales on fleapays.

Is that rear hydration setup from Cannondale?

Old thread, but some new additons so I will add mine. I'm one of the only guys on this thread riding it in the rear clamp position. Since then I have changed the horrible Vision Tech Race bends with some nice Bonetrager RLX Race bend carbon clip ons work much better for my body dimensions.

If you ride in the forward (triathlon position) on the seatpost location, you may run into difficulty in mounting a rear saddle hydration setup. I have a Cobb V-Max saddle -slid rearward- that can not mount the following Xlab series units--Mini and Delta. The Trax setup will not work either. The Beaker Concepts Hydro Tail works fine and I am awaiting for their retail production/availability of a single cage mount to bring everything closer to the saddle. Of course the Cannondale rear hydration mount works.

I actually ordered this model from my LBS. 3 weeks later they called and said it was in, and built (lots of delays on Cannondale's side with getting the bike in). I showed up to pick it up and this is what I saw:


Not quite what I had in mind. Apparently Cannondale has oversold the 105, so they gave me the Ultegra model for the same price. It was a bit of a conundrum. I LOVE the black/grey of the 105, but I'm pretty happy with the component upgrade. I suppose I'll take the uglier (relatively speaking) bike, especially since my first race of the season is on the 5th.

Right now it's stock everything aside from the Flo's (which would have gone nicely with the black/grey, my black kit, silver helmet and silver shoes, *sigh*). My white Adamo Prologue is going on, and I picked up a VisionTech TriMax Plus bar with 250mm extensions for $25 at the end of season sale at my LBS, so those'll be going on, and it's yet to be fit.

Now I just need a name. A Facebook friend suggested F'ing Space Ship, but I had to pass. The next suggestions was the FSS Yournotunique, which has promise, but, no. I do like the FSS idea, though. Any other suggestions?

--
Yes, I know it's grammatically incorrect. Blame AOL and their 90s-era character limits.

Not sure this belongs in this thread, apologies if I'm cluttering the wrong place, but I have a hydration system question for the Slice. Is anyone using Cannondale's integrated seatpost cage mount (http://www.cannondaleexperts.com/...et--KP059_p_343.html) or are most rear-hydration system users mounting an x-lab wing, etc., straight to the saddle rails?

I have a 2012 Slice with an ISM saddle that's fairly far forward on the rails, so I have concerns about clearance issues - and my LBS was not inclined to open the x-lab packages to see if the Delta 225 would fit.

Also, wondering about both the integrated mount and the 225, it looks like they hold the bottle/cage lower than one would want (and, with the saddle being as far forward as it is and the 225's tilt, would it contact the rear of the seat post?).

In short - anyone using the integrated mount and what do you think of it?

(FWIW - I have the PD Aero HC, so just looking for a single bottle mount to refill that)

I am using it at the moment, but not sure if I'll continue to do so. I have a TorHans VR, and ordered a PD HC, but not sure how the HC will fit - I have short-ish extensions. So, for now, I'm using the behind-the-saddle. My problem with it, at least in the single bottle set-up, is that I have trouble reaching it without coming completely out of aero. Or, rather, I am unable to reach it without coming out of aero - it's just too horizontal and set back too far.

All that said, for training rides, it's fine. I have a Specialized RibCage on there and haven't lost a bottle (new bike, so not a ton of rides yet, but still).

---

--
Yes, I know it's grammatically incorrect. Blame AOL and their 90s-era character limits.
--

I am currently using the PD HC system with the cannondale mount in the back. It works fine, but sits a bit low and is hard to reach. I have ordered the PD RM -1 as it sits higher, and will be easier to reach, I have heard even staying aero.

I will get some pics of mine up soon. Thanks for starting the thread.

If I ordered the 2013 105 and got the Ultegra, I'd be pissed. The 2013 105 is one of my fave looking bikes out rt now. If they wanted to give me the black/grey paint job w/ Ultegra components on the other hand.....

I have those awful race bends u speak of. This is my first tri bike. What makes them worse than others? I have to say my wrists get pretty uncomfortable with them, so I know something is wrong, I just don't know what.

---

______________________________________________

"Sweep the leg...Do you have a problem with that?" - John Kreese

Yeah, I was, and still sort of am. But I'd been using a two-sizes-too-big road bike with clip-ons for 3 years, and my first race of the season was like 2 weeks away. It was either say no to the bike in front of me (with nicer components), wait an undetermined amount of time for the right one to come in (since C'dale has apparently massively oversold that 105 model; why they'd make the lowest model the nicest color is beyond me), and race some/most/all(?!?) of this season on my pretty uncomfortably fit road bike, OR, take the same frame with nicer components, but a paint job I wasn't as thrilled with, and get right to work getting used to it.

I decided to go with the latter. Besides, I can always get it custom painted.

---

--
Yes, I know it's grammatically incorrect. Blame AOL and their 90s-era character limits.

I think this is the perfect forum to discuss this rear mount system. It was one feature that sold me on the Slice. I originally had two Gorilla cages on the back, with a wing nut holding Co2 and valve. Now I'm using just one behind the saddle, and one zip tied to my stem. My bars are not long enough to mount further up, but it works for me. It is certainly a little hard to get a bottle in and out of the rear facing cage while riding. The gorilla cage holds my bottle tight and i haven't even come close to having one eject. The single cage sitting a little lower behind the seat allowed me to get a flat kit including a tube, tire lever, 2 x Co2, plus a valve under the seat nice and tight. They do not budge.

I haven't seen too many of the women's Cannondale Slices in this thread, so I figured it's time to contribute. Granted, the only difference is the paint scheme. This one is about two years old. Please ignore the dirt on it.

Very nice bike. I love the black on black with the touch of red.

If it ever stops raining I will take a few nice pics outside of mine.

Here's mine...

I love these bike threads

Here mine is.



I got it last year. I quickly got rid of the OE seat and got and Adamo and otherwise trained and raced it stock. This winter I used it on the trainer in the basement and changed out the nearly straight bars for some more comfortable shorty bent FSA bars. I switched the shimano pedals over to speed-play pedals (probably one of the best improvements I could have made no more IT pain) I added the speedfill and a rear bottle carrier. The HED 5-7 set I got is great, it handles great and gives me a 2+ mph average over the stock wheel set which is now my trainer/crappy road wheel set.

Check out my ghetto custom PVC Cateye computer mount...



OH yeah and my super custom aero helmet


I do feel a little silly being a 40 year old man and getting happy about putting RC plane decals on a helmet, but I thought it was a cool look.

Great looking helmet. Gives me something to think about.

Here's an update to mine (also posted in the "let's see your ride" thread):



Though since this picture was taken a few weeks ago I put on a TriRig Omega front brake and replaced the rear with an Apex caliper (the tektro ones I had on there weren't quite wide enough for the Flo's -- I had to shave a LOT off the pads to make those work).

THANKS!

Nice bike.
Do the Heds really get you 2+ mph faster average than the standard wheels?
Was there a problem with the previous wheelset - out of true/dragging on the brake blocks, hubs out of adjustment or something?

"Nice bike.

Thanks, yes they do. I ride the same roure all the time. I live in a very rural area with only 2 paved roads. I do the same out and back route all the time. The only thing that varies is the distance or the time, but I am always on the same road in the same conditions.

I usualy go for time rather than distance (1 hour is 30 minutes out and then turn around back home) Sometimes I ride for distance, usualy 56 miles for a race simulation.

I consistantly average 18.8 mph in all conditions with the Hed wheelset. The stock Shimano R50 gave me an average of 16.5. I am pretty meticulous with maintence. The stock wheels have no issues.

Just had a GURU DFU bike fit. Loved it ! Huge benefits. Power went way up and much more aero.

Brought my saddle more forward and a tiny bit higher. And changed to a Bontrager Hilo RXL Speed Dial saddle. Adjustable nose width make a huge difference in my comfort. Changed the angle of my read bottle cage. Now i can actually reach it while riding.

Raked out and lowered my cockpit and changed to all carbon. Moved my front bottle cage onto an Xlab Torpedo mount. Dropped almost 2 lbs !

---

Joe C.

Sorry, no front race wheel yet.

 





Was a basic Slice 5. Did a few mods. Hollowgram with quarq and 53/39 q-rings. Renn 555 disc, and an 88mm Chinese wheel on front. All Sram RED (brakes,FD,and RD). Zipp R2C shifters (which I LOVE!). 3T Brezza Base bar, Oval S-bend clip ons. 3T levers (uber light). Adamo Prologue saddle. -17 120mm 3T stem, Look Keo Blade pedals. Vittoria Corsa tubs.
Fun bike, did me well, but its a 56cm and its a bit too big for me, I'm going down to a size 54 slice rs for 2014.

Be careful when I went from a 56 slice to a 54 slice rs as the are basically the same stack n reach the base bar on the rs was 100mm lower then my slammed 56 slice. I sold that bike and bought a 56 slice rs was 20mm more stack and only 9mm more reach. I suggest you ride a few first. Extension and elbow pad are adjustable the base bar is not. Nice bike by the way.

I see many of you mention converting the single rear mount bottle cage to a double. How did you achieve this?

Upgraded brakes and derailleurs to Ultegra, New Adamo Saddle, and Mavic Ksyriums. I love my new slice.

no offense, but this looks like a complete mess......have you thought about cleaning up the lines at all?

"I would definitely smell her seat after a century ride"

Not a lot of drop on the front end.

I know, it worked BUT it looked pretty ghetto.

I cleaned it up over the winter. I got new aero bars and a bar fly and Nokon cables and some tri rig brakes.

I will put some pictures up when I get a chance.

Here's mine:


Going to experiment with the heigth of the steerer tube and then cut it. Also need to redirect all the cables trough the Sigma. Still thinking about the best way to do this for the cables going to the shifters... Maybe a strange angle on the rear profile design bottle-cages this way, but I like it. I can get and place the bottles fast and haven't lost one so far. Next to come; a stages or power2max powermeter.

I cleaned up the cables over the winter. Changed them out for NOKON, added the TRI RIG brakes, got rid of the DIY cateye mount and added a bar fly for my Garmin.





Now for some Ghetto DIY.




I don't care but it works.

It is a painted Gatoraide container (dry mix concentrate)



It holds my spare tube, 2 CO2 and chuck, patch kit, tire levers and tool.



Additional my 5 OZ flask of EFS gell fits in the carrier and has NEVER ejected.



I have the 2 bottle cages (which for cheapo aluminum have been great, they have never ejected either) I use them during long training rides but leave them off for races as the speedfill is usually enough for sprints and Olympics and during the 70.3s I have done there has always been enough aid stations.

Wish me luck this Sunday at IM MT Tremblant 70.3

That's A-Nice-A Slice

Ok, thought it was time I posted my Slice...

Frame: 2011 Slice Hi-Mod, 54
Aerobars: 3T Ventus II Ltd, 60mm spacers
Shifters: SRAM RTC (10sp)
FD: SRAM Red 22
RD: SRAM Force
Crankset: Quarq SRAM Red w/ Q-rings 53/39
Brakes: SRAM Red Aerolink
Wheels Zipp 1080 (also run with Sub-9 disc)

At the races:

For the Slice owners - anyone tried fitting the Torhans VR Frame bottle? Interested to see how it fits on a Slice...

Anyone have photos?

Do the risers come with the Ventus bar or do they have to be bought separately? Also, how did you find the cable routing through the bars, particularly the front brake?

You have to buy risers separately - I bought them direct from 3T online. They don't make risers especially for the Ventus - just get the Brezza II risers. I just had to cut down the bolts they supplied by 1cm as otherwise they are too long.

Cable routing was easy - I do however prefer to have my brakes the opposite way around - right = front brake. There is quite a tight bend on the front brake from where it exits the bar to the caliper, just use a fairly flexible cable housing. Otherwise no issues.

Had a kestrel talon and upgraded so glad I did

Here is my little contribution to this amazing list.
Nothing special ... yet ;)

Changes I made:
Vuka Aluminium Base Bar
TRP carbon brake levers
DIY bottle cage holder (in the cockpit as well as behind the saddle)
DIY 'draft box' for flat kit

I love your DIY draft box. Can you give some details on it??? How did you make it???

Much cleaner than mine. Mine is a painted gator-aide dry mix container.

Hi,
I'm more than happy to share it with you.
I measured the required volume of my flat kit, cut the form of styrofoam with a clearance between box and seat post.
Next I wrapped the frame in cling film, put the foam box in place and filled the gaps with PU builder's foam, which expands inside any cavities and therefore giving you a perfect negative form of the bike's back end.
Then it was a simple matter of laminating a few layers of carbon over the form, take out the foam and attach the whole thing with two velcro straps.
The airfoil shape of the seat post stabilizes the box in horizontal direction while the seat post clamp avoids vertical displacement of the box.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures during the build, sorry

Thanks, I may give that a try over the winter.

Impressive rear box buddy. You could make a few bucks by making custom colored boxes for Slice riders.

Can I ask you, what version of the risers did you use for your ventus ii? I can't seem to find a clear answer online as to the right ones to use, and I'd love to get some so I can drop my base bar and trim my stem from it's ridiculous height.
Thanks

Get the risers for the Brezza II - these:

http://store.3tcycling.com/...it-10-20-mm-160.html
or
http://store.3tcycling.com/...r-kit-60-mm-161.html


They fit the Ventus II perfectly but with the 60mm kit you will just have to cut down the bolts that are supplied by ~1cm (otherwise they are too long). Easily done with a hacksaw.

Totally love the DIY draft box...

What sort of material is that?

been busy with rerouting all the cables... Why buy a new Slice, when you can just clean it up like this one!

This is so cool.

I want to make one of these for my non-super bike Triathlon bike!!

Hubba-hubba-1080s!!!

What stem/item are you using to arrange the cables!

I'm using the Tririg Sigma XF flat.

Good for you. However, it appears this stem is only offered in 90mm length which isn't what I need.

Why did you got the slice after owning the P3 with Di2? Or do you still own the slice?

I hurt my back two years ago and had got the p3 thinking I'd do another ironman and keep on training for long course stuff. But, my back hates more than three hrs on the bike and I felt a bit 'tired' of long distance stuff. As a result, I sold the p3 and bought a nice roadie and a cheap TT to do sprint tris (both draft and ND).

Still tweaking...

Has anyone heard when a new slice is supposed to be announced?

Is it meant to be TT specific or Triathlon specific?

Could it be a new beam bike?

Quick question on the 2011 slice 5 frameset - the white black and red model. I see they and other slices of that generation fit Flo Wheels. I have Hed jet 6+...I assume those would fit fine with 23c tires? Anyone run 25s? Thinking of picking up a slice frameset. Also-does it use standard brake caliper mounts front and rear, and what's the BB? BB30? Thanks!

The Hed Jet 6+ with 25c width tires (Michelin Pro Competition) work fine on my 2010 Slice. The fork width is sufficient. The real question is whether your front brake calipers open wide enough for tires that balloon to 28c. I run a rear disc and 23c width tire on my rear.

My slice:

Off topic a bit, but why does it seem like there's massive discrepancies between shop prices (msrp)?

Examples:
http://urbantrigear.com/collections/biks/products/2015-cannondale-slice-ultegra-di2
(it's 2015, but you'd assume the msrp would be lower)


vs

showing a $4799 msrp.

So, after all my searching for a frameset to build, ended up with a 2011 slice hi mod. Couldn't be happier. Going to start pieceing her together shortly, I have a few parts I need but I also need to swap some from my roadie... but figured I may as well bump this thread and get myself fired up! A happy new slice owner!

Look at this link to install internal cabling and Di2: http://tri-mods.blogspot.com/

So I finally have my build shaping up. only thing left is brake levers and cables, which I have ordered but I've had it on the trainer just test things out and click thru the gears. It's a 2011 hi mod frame, 105 5800 group (wheels manufacturing bb adaptor), zipp alumina base bars, PD t2+ extensions, DA shifters, and for now I have my vuelta 30 mm training wheels on. soon enough she will see the Hed Jet 6+ with black logos...
Also my first time posting a pic so hope this goes well...

I never post here, but I absolutely love my Slice, so here it is!

We love our Slice's. Great price, easy to work on and easy to break down/pack.

Bumping thread for a question for slice owners.

Anyone running 25c tires in the rear for the 2011-era frame? I want to grab new tires and would prefer 25s if the frame will accommodate. I've seen earlier in the thread that 25 fits fine in front but not sure about rear. I'll be putting them on HED Jet6+ for what it's worth.

My rear tire rubbed with a 25 tire on a hed jet rim (not plus). The tire was a 4000 II, and it would spin just fine, but as soon as there was weight on the bike it rubbed. That was a 2014 frame, I think they're pretty similar between '11 and '14.

This is the rub mark:

This is the back end with a newer 24mm:
[URL=http://s376.photobucket.com/...zpssqobuudh.jpg.html][/url]

Thanks so much for the info. Was so tempted to get a pair of 25 GP400S II bc price on amazon was good...So by look of it the 24mm was fine? Now I'm thinking I want to try specialized s works turbos bc they come in 24s

Yeah, there was about 1/8th of an inch space. IIRC I actually ran 23mm Schwalbe Ones just before I sold the bike because I had a couple blow outs with the 24mm Continental tires I had purchased and had become a bit overly cautious (but then I broke a spoke race day, so the tires weren't an issue at all :)

I never tried Turbo Cottons.

2011 Slice 105
1x10 46 and 11-28
Chinacarbon wheels with 23 mm wide wheels with 25mm Gatorskins on now
All in all with less than 1k into this thing I am pretty pleased!

Simple, sleek, light and fast...what more do I nerd!

Mine runs fine with 25mm gp 4000

I don't think I have posted mine yet. Just added eTap last year.

Daaaaaaaang that thing is sweet

Thank you. I thought I was done but keep riding with my buddy who he and his wife ride FRDs and I'm trying not to get the itch to move things over to a frame like that.

Well, I can understand that, we are human after all haha. I can see how you're sorta at the end of the line as far as component upgrades go.

I see one thing left if u wanna keep going on it though..custom paint job!

Still need to cut down the steerer tube a bit, but am pretty happy with my winter modifications and am ready to say the bike is race ready.

Coaching - Future Endurance

That is a gorgeous bike

Question for you. I see the Tri Rig Omega front brake. Did you happen to change the rear brake too? If so, any issues fitting another Omega there?

---

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

You should post new photos. Folks might be interested in seeing this Slice model after the Di2 and brake / handlebar mods.

---

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Yes, Omega on the rear. I had to use one of the included brackets, which cause it to stick out a bit. I was assured by Tririg that I mounted correctly. It offended me for a minute and I got over it. Way better braking with the omega.

I am sure to clean out the fairing and in particular the magnets. I have been riding it for ~3 years now and haven’t lost the cover.

 

Updated my ~2010 Cannondale Slice after really loving the Etap conversion I did on my roadie recently.

Sram Etap 11speed
Compact 50/34 165mn crank
Garmin Vector 3 Pedals
TriRig Brakes front & rear (I did the same on my aero roadie and I love their stopping power)
TriRig alpha bars and Gamma extensions. (love the new front end!)
Torhans bento box (the frame owes me nothing, so boldly went where tri rig did and installed bottle bosses in the top tube)
Flo 45 Carbon Clinchers (replaced my old Zipp 404 10sp w/ Power tap)
Etap Clicks on the end of the extensions, and blips mounted underneath the pursuit bar for shifting from either position.
Feels like a brand new bike now and looks sweet! Super pleased with it. Makes me excited to ride again. I don't miss the R2C shifters at all. She shifts like a dream now.

Very nice and clean. I don't see any zip ties; are you sticking your bento on there?

Edit: never mind, I finally read that you added bosses...would love to see pix of that. I briefly thought about that, but the tube is so narrow and I am chicken.

Not for the faint of heart.... I drilled holes in the top tube and riveted in bottle bosses for the bento. Tutorial on where I got the idea below. It will void your frame's warranty.

https://www.tririg.com/...rage_Bosses_Tutorial

He mentioned he followed this TriRig guide to install your own bento bosses on any bike with a flat top tube. I wanted to do that on my p3c but it had too much curvature and I wasn't sure how it was going to work out. Does look really good though.

It will work just fine on a P3C as long as you are careful. The most important part is to ensure each hole is centered on the top tube, so that each rivnut will be centered and axially aligned.

My 2015 green / black / white Slice got a total make over: paint, electronic shifting, and bar / brake upgrades. I've been taking pictures in different locations, at different times of day, from different angles, but I haven't hit gold yet. Decided to load something anyway before there is no shot left to take that doesn't involve paint gouged down to the primer.






I'd like to cut the monopost down a bit at some point, once I'm convinced I'm done tinkering with the build.

Other than some extra flexing to the front end that I wasn't used to, it rides the same as before. I have rolled some familiar courses in slightly faster times on lower wattage but am unsure whether any of that might have to do with the crank / chainring reinstall (? - ETA in the event the power meter needed recalibration or something...).

That's a nice looking Slice

Thanks!

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

I can't tell how you routed the rear brake cable? It normally runs under the basebar and to the left side of the headtube into the frame and comes out on the left side of the rear top tube. Did you route it differently? I also have a 2010 Slice that was recently upgraded to Etap.

The brake cable exits from the center of the basebar and then goes into the top tube entry port through the bento box. I had to carve out a portion of the bento box bottom to make this possible. The brake cable housing then gives me something firm to route the etap wires along to the blip box that also lives in the bento box. Hopefully that made sense. I'm away from the bike or I'd add photos.

You TriRiged punched three holes into the top tube (one for brake cable, two for the bento bag) to make this setup work? I agree the Etap setup helps minimize cable cluster.

Nope.... I installed two top tube bosses for the bento, but there was already a cable entry port towards the left hand side of the top tube on my slice.

Looks sick!

My race site: https://racesandplaces.wixsite.com/racesandplaces

Here’s mine. I just purchased a vision base bar because I don’t like how the handles flip up.

Thought I could ask this here instead of making a new thread for it..

Does anyone with a Superslice know if you need to fit the standard basebar/stem or had anyone tried fitting a TriRig Alpha One or X for instance with success? Seems like there might be some interference with the head tube/top tube area, the part behind the steerer tube

Alpha One doesn’t fit on the Superslice, for exactly the reason you describe. Alpha X does fit.

Both bars work on the standard Slice.

TriRig.com

Thanks for the quick reply! But the Alpha X is out of stock I see, will they come back in stock or are you all-in on the Alpha One?
