I'm really loving your bike!!

Curious though, do you know what the distance is from the center of the BB to the top of your seat? I have pretty short legs and I'm having a hard time finding info from others who are actually short.

7 year old reply -- ~68 cm, from center of BB to the top of my seat, directly along the seat tube and seat post.

:(

so on one side you've got the wheelsmg adapter and on the other the reducer??

killkelvin says:

Yup. I needed to do that so I could deal with the asymmetric bottom bracket. (At the time of purchase, the Wheels Mfg. BB30A adapters didn't work with the exact CAAD12 specs. They've made a CAAD12 specific version since.)

Any reason why the steerer tube wasn't cut to height and spacers are used above the stem?

killkelvin says:

Not really. I feel it's marginally safer to have the carbon steerer go completely through the stem clamp.

... but my warranty is almost gone so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not true unless you have a long ass expander. Actually, it's quite the opposite.

hey man, i'm trying to slam my stem on my caad12. where did you get your top headset bearing cover ? or what is it?

There's a ~1-2mm gap between the cover and the lip of the headtube, though. I guess the CAAD12 has slightly shaved off some of the head tube compared to the CAAD10s and Supersixes.

ldizzy25 says:

thanks man! did you had to use the micro spacers for it to minimize the gap?

killkelvin says:

The ones that came with the bearing cover? Nope; they would've made the issue worse.

I just looked up those chainrings, finally ellipticals that are affordable, how are you liking them? More research needed but I may have to try them out, I've been wanting to change my rings for a while

killkelvin says:

They're alright for the price I paid for them. They can flex to the press of my thumb. I don't think they make a huge difference in the way I climb or sprint. Great inexpensive way to try out oval rings, though!

Some special sauce there. Nice chaining! I gotta look that up.

Thanks! I ended up getting the chainrings for $16 on an eBay auction.
