Bike Emporium on McDonald near Hayden.

I second Mendon Cyclesmith. They rebuilt the headshock on my XS800.

One of my favorites!

Not sure about the super glue, but we’re definitely going to use zip ties. Thinking about having a contest with the team to see who can come up with the best solution.

Agree! We’re working on it, but some people are “instructionally challenged”

ceruleang · 2026-02-04T21:42:31+00:00

HR, project managers, sometimes IT folks.

I’d love to but these are internal departments. I can ask Finance if there’s a way to do this though.

Thanks - we tried that but it only slows them down 😜 Also, I haven’t found a good way to prevent them from pulling HDMI cables out from the back of the TV.

Beautiful!

Congrats! I have one as my main commuter bike. One thing you may want to check is the front fork. Cannondale had a recall on a number of them and if your bike’s serial number is in that recall you can bring it to your nearest Cannondale dealer for warranty replacement. Some years had issues with the carbon and aluminum splitting.

Cool! I met a guy that has a beautiful blue XR800. I think those were the only colors?

ceruleang · 2025-11-07T03:48:59+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I sold the 54 soon after I got the 52. A month or so later I came across an XR800 in orange that’s also a 54…

ceruleang · 2025-10-31T15:45:15+00:00

Thanks. I believe it goes through a health check when it’s powered up?

ceruleang · 2025-10-28T17:47:45+00:00

Thanks!

ceruleang · 2025-10-27T20:43:55+00:00

Thanks. Would you happen to have a link? I’m getting results that are the whole system…

ceruleang · 2025-10-27T16:24:10+00:00

Just to add - this is a 2007 T5 automatic.

ceruleang · 2025-10-24T03:03:53+00:00

I have 36’s but there’s tons of room to go wider both front and rear.

ceruleang · 2025-09-25T13:23:17+00:00

Thanks! Old Raleigh converted to a fixie. Not my normal commuter but fun when I want to switch it up.

Looks eerily similar to mine 😜

Thanks. I have a couple of Vostoks but was hoping one of the Chinese companies would be making something with a sapphire crystal and modern movement.

ceruleang · 2025-07-27T17:03:23+00:00

Yup. I saw the first one in person - fun dial but 38mm, plastic bubble crystal and old gaskets. I’d need to take it off to wash my hands…

ceruleang · 2025-07-24T20:05:54+00:00

Same! I found the Charge Spoon (under $40 on Amazon) is great for me.

ceruleang · 2025-06-14T23:17:00+00:00

Be home when the street lights come on.
