A sticky thread for the Prophet but not for the Scalpel. Whats up with that? Just wondering before I head out on a ride on my Jekyll. Here's my ride in front of my 2004 Nissan Frontier. One reason I bought this truck is to load around my bikes and hit the junk yard.
Very Nice Scalpel Dr. Power- those Hope components look great, nice craftsmanship! What year and model is that? Are the Brad Blog and other custom paint additions your own work? Enjoy your ride.
Hi,
The wheels are 2005 xyclones from spinergy, the cranks are the same as the good boy cranks.
They are made for the 30th anniversary of Cannondale. see Jekyll good boy: https://www.cannondale.com/bikes/02/ce/model-2GB.html
The Rotors are from A2Z. the front is a 180mm and the rear rotor is 160mm.
at this picture you can see the Cannondale 30th anniversary logo on the crankarm:
Lovely bikes ladies and gents. Will probably get my Scalpel 1000/2000 next spring. Until then I've made a wallpaper in photoshop so I can drewl lots and lots through the nasty winter.
I have mine set up like a street machine with 700 x 30c cross tires.
Works great for street use and light off-road.
I just recieved a RUSH 1000 to handle any all-mountain duties now.
Just take an old inner tube cut it lengthways slap it around the chainstay and button it down with zip ties. Takes 5 minutes, and it's basically free, also it works great.
I know many have given some Spinergy products a bad rap in the past, but these Xyclone disc for Lefty rims are trick!! I have used a pair for exactly 1 year and they have such a awesome feel in the turns, they pull out of tight turns under power incredible, no windup. I have 2 pair of CrossMax SLs and they have a twingy metallic feel compared to the light spinergys.

I totally agree the Spinergy wheels have super flex compared to the xmax's. I run my Spinergy's with a carbon lefty which is equipped with a titanium spindle & that also flex's a load more than the current 2005/06 alloy typo spindle's.
Enjoy!!!
I got a total of 19 miles on the headshok before I had to send it back to the tech shop @ cannondale. my shop rebuilt it 3 times and could only get it to hold air for 2 hours at best. at least I am riding but I ordered the 900 specifically for the headshok. (I like the lefty but I like the headshok better). Maybe cannondale can figure out what the hell is wrong with it, I have never had a problem with a headshok until this one.
My Scalpel, I've been riding the Scalpel more lately than my Prophet, have seriously enjoyed the bike- had a few paint bubbles on frame, but as my wife says- only God is perfect. Otherwise paint job very nice. Have been impressed with carbon lefty, Fox float and XTR components very intuitive.
