Bottom Bracket Adapter for Cannondale Synapse 2?
Quoting the Cannondale website:
"Because the Cannondale SI Carbon crankset seamlessly integrates an oversized bottom bracket shell with an oversized spindle and carbon crank arms, you benefit from a direct transferance of power that produces greater velocity while riding, and a crankset that is lighter, stiffer more efficient than Shimano's DuraAce." I understand that if you want to use any other crankset with this bike (eg., a triple instead of the compact double it ships with, or Campy instead of the stock made-by-FSA) a special Bottom Bracket Adapter is required to (correct me if I'm wrong here) "fill in" the extra space of this oversized bottom bracket shell. My question: does anyone know if this Bottom Bracket Adapter will compromise the performance of the bike to such an extent that it would mitigate any of the advantages of converting to a triple or a Campy crankset? I'm concerned that by replacing the stock spindle I may be eliminating one of the features that makes the bike so appealing in the first place. Thanks. |
