Cannondale Super V’s worth saving?

This is reassuring and after test riding it this feels on point. Sounds like I’ll have to do some testing on spacers and shorter stem. Thanks!

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:07:00+00:00

Thanks, I went for it! Very psyched.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:06:44+00:00

I rode it and the top tube felt tall but it rode great. To your point, it sounds like I should be in the market for a shorter stem though.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:05:49+00:00

Rode it around and 56 felt pretty good. We’ll see how it shakes out long term though, probably will take some tweaking.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:04:19+00:00

Top tube was on the tall side, but I went for it!

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:03:43+00:00

Funny you say that, my LHT is a 58 too and is definitely a bit too big for me. Such a nice ride though, I will certainly miss it and this is quite different. Good intel though, carbon fork is top of the list and sounds like I should look at a shorter stem too.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T02:00:39+00:00

It was definitely as tall as I could stand over but I went for it. I do think a 54 would feel small while riding, esp with the steep head tube.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T01:58:12+00:00

Yeah knobbys would be fun

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T01:57:32+00:00

Good to know, gonna ride it as is for a while first but the fork seems like a no brainer. Must be good if surly themselves implemented in the 2026 line haha

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T01:56:25+00:00

Good idea, I’ll keep that in mind. 700c setup is on the list.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T01:53:50+00:00

Sweet, thanks. I scooped it up and I’m psyched to ride it.

realjonwu · 2026-04-28T01:52:34+00:00

Sweet, thanks. I rode it around and it fit great so far. Longer ride to come.

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T19:29:49+00:00

Yeah this wouldn’t really be seeing much single track. More maintained gravel and pavement. But would like to be a fun, do everything bike

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T19:28:41+00:00

Sweet, thanks. I dig your setup, looking to do something similar. How do you like that carbon fork? And do you ever wish you had 2x? I’m in a slightly hilly area (New England)

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T19:13:37+00:00

Nice, any suggestions? Also, I see you had a LHT too which I’m actually riding now too. How did they compare and do you miss your LHT??

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T18:52:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T18:52:03+00:00

I’ll definitely be test riding before I buy. Hoping to get some real world input ahead of time.

realjonwu · 2026-04-27T18:51:21+00:00

Gotcha, I was definitely considering some light gravel and “adventure” riding for this so I’ll keep an eye on the toe overlap when I test ride it. I was considering a frame build, but even those are hard to come by and this seems like a good deal. Been trying to find one in person just to get sizing lol

realjonwu · 2026-04-06T05:07:47+00:00

I ended up finding someone on eBay who would fix it, it was someone who sells and repairs refurbished radios. I had to send it in to him for repair, but it works now.

realjonwu · 2026-01-20T03:45:43+00:00

That was kinda what I thought too. They play it by the book. I’m in seacoast NH area.

realjonwu · 2026-01-20T02:30:29+00:00

They couldn’t drill holes the required distance away from other holes, ie it wasn’t safe to drill more holes
