Caadx headset help required

gwillis

I'm looking to lower the front end of my Caadx and need some pointers . Currently I have the cable hanger on the steerer and the drop to the bars isn't aggressive enough for me . I see epic cycles have modded their models to a fork hanger but have a much smaller spacer off the top of the head tube (it's sort of fluted like mine but not as long ). Can anybody tell me where I can get one from . I've sourced the hanger from spa cycles but I'm struggling to find the other part . I've rang epic and they tell me the part should be available locally .





Many thanks

Hey, Craig... why don't you get a stem with a steeper angle? That said, it looks fairly aggressive to me. How are the Ambrosios coming along?

Hi Paulo , they should arrive tomorrow hopefully. The maddux supplied are like cheese and are hard to keep in true .
Your right the drop is a tad extreme I'm looking to lower it a bit more than this


I was offered some evolutions on tiagra hubs for £90 build by Dave Hinde which seemed a reasonable price .


Hope your well

Yes but I've ended up with the rims and the wheel set. I'll put them away for a rainy day unless somebody wants them. I paid £90 for the wheel set off eBay after making an offer. It looks like they we're purchased for a bit more than that and according to the seller were never used. I'm sorry I can't upload a photo of the Caadx for some reason

put them in the classified section... someone will buy them. Bear in mind a Parcelforce 48 will cost you around 12 pounds.
