I had the same thing done to some cassettes to fit my old 10sp Zipp 808’s

I had them done by Bomber bike works, they charge £30 for it. To fit back to an 11sp hub you just need a 1.8mm spacer which is quite easy to get hold of.

Great ride, stopped at Great Bardfield and then Needham lake got to Dunwich 3:30, had a sausage roll and a tea then napped on the beach. Suprisingly chilly actually, about 15ºC. By about 7am though the sun rose and it was fully sunny and went for a swim, water was the warmest its ever been at a Dun Run.

@omash27 did I chat to you about bike packing in the fast bunch towards the end? I did chat to someone and he mentioned riding to Cambridge afterwards?

Heya, check your PM

is No 29. Sold? Keen if not. Thanks

Check your PM re: ITM bars

C to C from memory. I’m running 40cm

Heya, I didn’t end up with those bars. Ended up buying Nitto M109aa. One of the few 26mm clamp bars that come in ergo shape and black :)

Tape is supacaz black

Ordered some Zipp decals and redid the wheels. Gotta love the early 2000's look, I always loved the look of the old Zipp logo spinning around even if it is a bit OTT. Also changed the seat post out for a USE Alien Carbon one, much easier on the backside than the old alloy one.

Installed the drivetrain, decided on SRAM Force 22, as this is what I have on my other bike and it’s also one of the lightest groupsets for that price range.

took it out for a spin up to Cambridge as well as Lancashire whilst visiting some family. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden on a skinny tyre road bike (other bike has 32mm tyres) so with a stiff alloy post quite bonshaky, so first upgrade will be a carbon post. Otherwise feels super fast and has a great sound from the 808s

Stripped down the frame, reasonably lightish

Rotor Aldhu cranks 165mm. I already have a set of Vegast cranks on my other bikes with a P2m NGeco power meter

The Zipp 808's are quite old so the hubs only support up to a 10sp road cassette officially. Initially I was going to just leave it at that but a bit of research there were a few options to go to 11sp

• Change to Campag free hub (although these are not available anymore and couldn't find anything send hand
  
• Run a 11sp MTB cassette
  
• Run a 11sp Road cassette but get the back machined out 1.85mm
  I took the last option and got two cassettes machined out by Bomber Bikeworks. Fits perfectly without any issues, in fact there is quite a lot of clearance
  
  
  
  
  

Installed the BB and cranks, the Rotor BB manual is quite confusing so had to install and reinstall the cups about 5 times... Here's a quick mockup

Wow looks super clean! Love the ergostem

One of the first stems was to strip off and sell the parts that I don't want, which is almost everything on it. Thanks to the buyers on the forum I've managed to recoup some of these costs to pay for the modern bits I'll be putting on it.

The frame itself dates from 1999, the Zipp 808's are from about 2006 or thereabouts. The rest of the parts are a mish mash of Dura-Ace 7900, 7400, 7700 as well as 10sp Campag Chorus. I'll keep the wheels and frame and sell the rest. What was amazing was how clean this whole bike was, the seller advised me that it was used by his late father for a few TT's and it definitely appears so, barely a scratch and the paint looks practically new!

Second step was to have a better look at the wheels. Those decals with the red stripe bugged me so off they came, I much prefer the plainer Zipp decals, not sure if to go with the white or black ones later....

Both ran very true and checked tension. Front wheel was a good 80kgf all around, the back was a bit low so I attempted to bring this up a bit and managed to shear one of the alloy nipples in half... So I decided to rebuild the rear wheel with new brass nipples, I never liked alloy nipples particularly on highly tensioned rears.

FYI, the original rear wheel weighed about 993g with alloy spokes, and then 1009g with brass.

As a kid in the 90's I always lusted after the Cannondale CAADs with their then "exotic" alloy made in USA frames with the smoothed welds. I've also loved the look of early to mid 2000's Zipps and that era was when I really got into road cycling. So lo and behold a Cannondale CAAD2 with Zipp 808's comes up on eBay and was sitting there for ages, it had been converted into a TT bike and had a jumble of nice parts. Luckily it was in a small size, 51cm tt. It even had a rare Look Ergostem!

Plans are to modernise with a 11sp Groupset, slammed and blacked out everything, possible conversion to threadless headset w/ carbon forks

Some parts still left, see above. Will go on eBay if not sold in the next week. Thanks

Haha thank you!
