Hi all, apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have a cannondale six13 (2006) and the left arm crank has a slight wobble on it (Cannondale SI crank set). Anyone know of a spares site or someone breaking up a bike for spares? It's a BB30 but all I can find are crank sets.

Thanks
bb

    I'd try and contact a Cannondale dealer otherwise start saving - replacement SI cranks aren't cheap.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    tell me about it an LBS has said £600 - although I'm finding online that fsa one's (SLK) are cheaper (and lighter than my original).
    When told the price I said no way a crank is worth a quarter of the bike - it'll be cheaper to get another bike - :lol:

    Not familiar with this bike or crank - cant you get any old crank to go on there ? Doesnt have to match to be functional ?

    I doubt it with the cannondale ones, try a cannondale dealer, they should be able to source a LH crank arm for you. If not then any BB30 crankset should fit.

    I seriously seriously double that the spline patterns are correct on the force cranks.

    Do you have a photo of the end of the axle on your Si cranks?

    I'll need a 172.5 to match the drive side.

    left one on here.

    Unfortunalty mines a 2006 and not 2007 so not part of the recall, neither with Cannondale play ball according to the LBS.

    found an ex demo chainset (SLK) that should fit, but it seems overkill when al that wobbles slightly is the left crank. btw, you don't notice it if you hang the bike up and turn the pedals by hand, only when sat on and under load. Thing is I don't fancy it dropping off when riding for obvious reasons.

    I'm thinking of a new bike though - seen a specialised tarmac sl - looks well spec'd out - and comes with 11T. Bit unsure now about going for Cannondales with their bespoke BB :-(

    I rode with mismatched crank lengths for a year or more. Really couldnt tell just from riding - it was only 2.5mm.

    Hassle your LBS - they must be able to get a crank in for you - its ridiculous to buy a new bike cos the crank needs fixing.

    just checking the equiv 2010 cannondales - not sure what the six13 now becomes - the six or super six - in anycase I only see compacts or tripples - what's that all about - can I just have a normal double please???
