Fresh Goods Sunday - Cannondale Road Bling - Spidering


When this was first released by Cannondale i liked the look of the rings. The UK rrp is £200 - no way i thought, then when i was looking for something on Ebay i come across this by accident. The listing was dreadul to say the least and you would have never found it if you were looking for a Spidering. I won the auction and arrived the following day after some hassle with the  seller through Paypal. Fitting was simple if you have the correct tools for the job. Below are some photos i took during the job. Cannondale's new SpideRing is a one-piece combination of spider and chainring, improving chainring stiffness that improves shifting performance. Weighing in at just 175 grams (standard 53/39T configuration), this is a piece of art. The SpideRing is standard on the new 2013 Hollowgram SiSL2 cranksets, but is backward compatible with virtually all Hollowgram cranksets. Cannondale's One Piece Integration concept reduces the number of parts which improves performance in a simpler system.

SpideRing is officially compatible with SRAM 10-speed road and Shimano 11-speed road drivetrains. We suspect that it will run fine with Shimano 10-speed drivetrains, but have yet to try it ourselves. Installation is easy using the same lockrings (KP021) and lockring tool (KT012) Cannondale has always used.
