Stem for Cannondale F700
Hi, and hope someone can give me a bit of help/advice. I own a
Cannondale mountain bike, F700 which is about 3 years old. I need a bit more rise to get into a more comfortable riding position. I've added a 2" rise handlebar which is -almost- where it's really comfy. My question is: will any clamp on stem, with a bit more rise, fit this bike or due to the suspension lockout lever on top of the current stem, will only a Cannondale specific stem work? I need about 3/4" more height to make this bike fit perfectly! Thanks in advance for any advice on this! richard |

It's not the lever, but the diameter of the steerer tube that's the problem. The headshok steerer diameter is unique to Cannondale, so you need to use a Cannondale stem, or one of the few Headshok-compatible stems made by other manufacturers, such as Syncros, Profile, Roox, Kore, or Syntace. A Syntace VRO would give you a lot of options: http://www.syntace.com/index.cfm?pid=3&pk=428 James Thomson |

They all look good and will pick out one and install it just as soon as time permits. Again, thanks! richard |

Again, thanks! richard Richard, Messing up with geometry of bicycle is not usually payed off..I will keep my fingers crossed but If You could get your hands on the F700 2" bigger then Yours this would be in my opinion much better (probably more expensive) solution. Ride well and safe! Nedeljko. |

I will keep my fingers crossed but If You could get your hands on the F700 2" bigger then Yours this would be in my opinion much better (probably more expensive) solution. Headshok bikes of different sizes have the same head tube length. The steerer length is fixed because it contains the supension system. James Thomson |

Same bike, same need. I've been trying to find out if the stem from a
Cannondale Adventure (adjustable) would fit and do the job. Unfortunately I've yet to run one down. "richard" wrote in message ... Hi, and hope someone can give me a bit of help/advice.
