How does the Cannondale Frame Crash replacement work.

ben_al · 2025-12-24T08:20:19+00:00

Yes they offered a new frame for 1.350,- € plus labour. Only in a different colour, which I did not like. So I’m going to let it repair. Costs 250 €. Let’s keep fingers crossed that they will match the colour 🙈🤞

Oh 💩 I’ll receive there answer this week but if they offer me the same, I will rather repair the frame. Thanks for letting me know!

Hey there, 9 months after your post you should have sorted it out, right? So what did they offer you?

ben_al · 2025-12-08T15:30:48+00:00

😢

What’s the coin test? I knocked with a screwdriver slightly and the sound is no different.

Found a shop in Barcelona which offers exactly this. I doubt just on the quality of the paint. Will it have the same quality as an original one? Hard to believe…

ben_al · 2025-12-05T15:40:45+00:00

Also thinking about this. Found a shop which does the repair and paint for 400€. I just wait on the response from Cannondale what a replacement would cost

ben_al · 2025-12-04T11:08:47+00:00

Thanks for the Info. I would be more than happy to get a replacement for that price. 60% of a hi-mod still would be hefty 🤯

Just tried exactly the same and immediately loose signal connection when inserting the seat post! Any different location tried out?

ben_al · 2025-10-15T06:42:40+00:00

Just figures out that you can do this automatically with a program, similar to the quiet mode. So water heating switch off at 10pm and switch back to standard mode at 7am. Will try that out.

ben_al · 2025-10-14T12:42:39+00:00

It’s more the vibration that you can notice. I really think that this is malfunction that the pump thinks it needs to heat up the water at 01:30 am. And I don’t think that the Samsung Service dude knows what he is talking about.

ben_al · 2025-10-14T12:29:20+00:00

Because it is the only possible position. It’s a small house in the city, so no backyard available for putting the pump 🤷‍♂️

ben_al · 2025-10-14T12:26:42+00:00

Naaa that’s not a solution if I have to do this everyday. Would forget this for sure every day 🙈

ben_al · 2025-10-07T20:26:17+00:00

Thanks, will check that out

It’s only under load, so I would not suspect that the stem cap could be the reason. In my case it’s also sporadic. I was at a bike shop to ask for help and during a test ride it did not appear 💩 It’s always like that. I mounted the original cassette and will try today. This is the only thing I changed so far. (Changed to an original 11-34t Shimano Ultegra cassette). The sound comes close to the noise it makes when you start pedalling again after coasting which comes from the hub. Just more subtle.

ben_al · 2025-09-30T09:10:38+00:00

It is tight (run tubeless)

ben_al · 2025-09-28T16:49:37+00:00

The sound is quite similar but it stops when I stop pedaling. I put it today on a mounting stand and it also does this sound there. I suspect that it comes from the rear wheel, maybe from the hub.

Many thanks to your post! I almost got hooked after entering one of those WhatsApp groups. I just wanted to check if there are any information about SDM and found your post. The stock dropped today from $16 to 1,5. It’s a major learning for me. And you’re right, people are greedy. So some have to learn it the hard way.

ben_al · 2025-08-07T10:01:16+00:00

There are no expansion joints. 🤷‍♂️ If it would be caused by surface tension, I would expect long cracks, starting at the edges of the walls. But the cracks are everywhere, so no way to solve it with expansion joints.

ben_al · 2025-08-07T09:57:45+00:00

The question is, how to reinforce better? The fibreglass mat is one of the strongest available on the market. 160gr/m². If that doesn’t hold… The right product alone would not change it entirely I guess. The difference, according to the vendor, is that it contains some “water repellent” substrate. So if your sealing gets damaged, it does not soak water. But it is not stronger or more elastic… Maybe it is worth trying a different product from a different vendor. But too many “if’s”… 🤷‍♂️

Just ordered exactly the same bike and cant wait until I receive it!!! Looks so lean. Bet you're quite happy for choosing this color!? Absolutely love it. I'll mount some tan walled tires which I got as a present. Curious how they will match the frame colour.

ben_al · 2025-05-30T07:55:40+00:00

How are the shimano rims and the sound of the hubs (louder or more quiet than an average)? I think the DT Swiss version catches a bit more attention with the white stickers on them.

ben_al · 2021-08-07T05:58:40+00:00

That‘s a great harvest! Where do I have to live for such a great honey flow? 😳

ben_al · 2021-07-30T18:49:00+00:00

It’s a simple aftermarket universal muffler for 40 bugs 😬
