The "RS" version is not like the Slice version you are riding. See this from this Slowtwitch link:

: The third problem with this bike was its geometry and not the nominal geometry of the frame, but the position you got out of the complete bike with the custom stem taken into consideration. The stem was very flat, scooted over the leading edge of the fork and then dropped down a couple of centimeters. The resulting rider position was very low.

Your posted photo (high) is unlikely to work with the RS version. Replacing your Slice with the same version is going to be easier.

Picked up a second hand Slice RS a couple of days ago - generally in very good condition, but a couple of questions I would be very grateful for some answers to (turns out the seller had a different definition of 'ready to race' than me...). These may well be silly questions.

1) There's some free-play in the headset, enough to be annoying. Am I right in thinking that this can only be sorted out by removing at least some/all of the cables?
2) Not mentioned by the seller, but my bike is missing the cable guide that seems to normally sit under the stem cap, and the fairing for the rear brake. I've ordered replacements for these, but I take it there's no harm in riding without them for now?
3) Given that Cannondale has a new Slice out soon, does anyone have any insight in spares availability for the RS? Is there already anything that's difficult to get hold of, or likely to become difficult? Having replaced my last TT bike due to having lost a seemingly irreplaceable minor part from the saddle clamp, I'm basically going to stockpile any spares so that I never have to buy another bike again. ;-)

Only been out on a steady ride on it so far, and it's great, but just needs these few issues sorting to be perfect. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Any Idea when the new model will be out?

Hello guys! I've got Cannondale Slice RS 2013. I'd like to change stock bar extensions to more comfortable ski-bend (J-bend) extensions. Extensions from other producers such Zipp or Profile Design is not suitable for my aerobar. But I find pictures that some people can find j-bend extensions for Slice RS (for example bike for Peter Sagan in 2013-14)
Did someone know suitable j-bend extensions for Slice RS?

trying to understand ..... are u looking for a different bend than SKI? with less angle to the bend?

or the bars you've bought separately wont work with your cockpit ?

do you want the exact* bars that sagan had on his slice rs?

Which aerobars are currently on your bike? Basebar, arm pads, extension clamps, extensions.
Do you have a photo of your bik?

me thinks cannondale got their J bend from vision clip on bars

CCTT?

Everesting machine?

Mine is still alive and kicking as well.


Interesting to see someone has bought the HB029 and mounted it to a Slice RS. How do you like it? An improvement over the standard Vision alu handlebar setup? Seems to require longer exposed cable housing between the handlebar and the frame?

Love to see that you've mounted the pad holders with the bolts inwards as well, as I've been thinking about is that would be possible.
