Was working on a polarass the other day, and it had all american nuts and bolts on it. I was wondering if the cannondale(being an American made as well) was the same way?

Just curious. Hopeing to have a Speed by August.

Thx

 

Nope, I've found them to be mostly METRIC.

I was wondering if it was going to be metric or standard as well. So far everything I've touched has been metric, except for the spark plug (5/8&quot


If you think about Cannondale's roots as a bicycle manufacturer, and EVERYTHING on bicycles is metric, it's not too surprising. I think it's a good thing because if you ever have a problem out on the trails, it's more likely that somebody on a Japanese bike with a little tool kit will have the tools you need. If you're looking for a standard wrench in the middle of nowhere, good luck!

 

I love cannondale...............[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

And to think I was going to go buy a honda........I'd rather the money go to AMERICA!!! Rather than JAPAN!!

Try a 16mm deapsocket 3/8 drive for the spark plug it works for me.
My fx had torks head screws.I had to buy torks sockets for that thing.Im glad they went to metric.
