We love a challenge here at the Ride Bikes workshop, although catch Ben on a bad day and he may beg to differ! We recently had the pleasure of completing a full Di2 upgrade on this gorgeous Cannondale Super Slice. On paper, a straight forward job... but in reality one that required a full frame-up rebuild on a Cannondale Slice.
Why Di2?! Apart from the obvious shifting accuracy benefits, making the jump to Di2 has several benefits. The first is weight saving for crucial marginal gains; in time trialling every second counts. Secondly, future-proofing the serviceability of the bike: no need for labour intensive cable changes every 6 months, navigating the complex internal routing system of the Slice. Thirdly is the ergonomic benefits of Di2 tribar shifters; riders are able to grab the solid end without fear of an accidental gear change... a common issue when using older-style mechanic bar end shifters.
We think this bike has turned out absolutely fantastic and cant wait to see some PB's smashed on it in the 2023 race season.
