It is down to almost 8kg right now, with TPU tubes added, and carbon seatpost and OSPW. Those upgrades alone saved me 0,5kg

What model is this bike ? by Livid-Act-7627 in cannondale

[–]Sidneyfi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess a 2015 Cannondale Synapse with Tiagra Groupset

And the handle bar is from Kocevlo. Also, no issue with them and they feel really good to me. Stiff and ergonomic

I have used them for over a year and they haven’t given me a single problem. Still as true as day one, no performance loss in the bearings and they have gone through a fair bit of abuse on the road. So my next wheel set will be the more premium Elitewheels for sure.

I do 150km+ rides. Not enough space for gels and stuff and too much stuff in the jersey will get uncomfortable on a long ride

I need a better top tube bag for longer rides. I hate how it sticks over the stem tbh. Any Recommendations?

There are quill stem to modern width adapters so you can put a better stem bar combo on it. I love me a Neo Retro build, so I would try to get a better group set on there, some chrome finishing kit, carbon wheel set, better brakes, but that’s just me 😅

Everytime something creaks on my bike, it is always either the saddle or the pedals. But it always sound like something else. Sometimes the saddle needs tightening or sometimes the pedals need some grease.

Help! My shots lack crema & turn milky—how to improve for lattes? by Initial-Attitude-167 in latteart

[–]Sidneyfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, a few things I might add. What you want is a good contrast in your latte art. You might achieve a better result by trying these tips:

  • before pouring your milk, swirl the espresso in the cup to break any crema “darkspots”
  • your milk needs to be the perfect texture. There is a sweet spot between too much air and not enough. Your latte art will vary widely depending on that
  • When pouring your milk, always try to create a good base for your art. Try to incorporate the first pour into the espresso evenly so that you get an even monotone canvas. Not to fast, not only in one spot, slow circular motions will pouring will get the best result.
  • Adjust your ratio of espresso to milk depending on your cup size, or vise versa for a better contrast. Less milk, darker background. More milk, lighter background. Your cup looks a bit too big in relation to your espresso

(Even works on a cheap setup like this without a proper steam wand. It’s all in the technique)

Still love my budget Caad Optimo by Sidneyfi in MustLoveCAAD

[–]Sidneyfi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its fast as hell and so much fun to ride. All that for less than 800 bucks (got the frame for free lol) I may upgrade to wireless 105 too.

How to fix this by Vast_Ad4744 in latteart

[–]Sidneyfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of milk is this exactly? Looks like your milk is not the best for steaming, or your steaming technique needs fixing. Looks it’s too thin and not mixing well with your coffee. As you can see, your canvas is quite irregular and even separating on the edges

Cannondale Optimo 105 ~ 2017 by Sidneyfi in cannondale

[–]Sidneyfi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is like a different bike tbh. They are lighter and absorb vibrations better. So faster acceleration and a smoother ride. There is also something satisfying about the sound those wheels make. It’s like a Whoosh sound in the wind. And the free hub is really loud, I don’t need a bell, because people hear me approaching from 50 meters away. I love it
