Anyone riding Cannondale Hooligan in this forum? I'm surprised not to find a thread here dedicated to the Cannondale Hooligan. Am I missing something here?
I wanted one as a commuter... but living in a place where there's snow in the winter and where they overuse salt on the roads, disc brakes tend to fail quite fast so I'm riding a super basic fixed gear bike where even the brakes are not 100% essential.
I have an identical one to this one, i use it when i go riding with my kids. No clipless hassle... I also bought it because i want to learn to do wheelies again. When i was young, i could ride around the block with my BMX. But now, by gettin older, my skills have faded. So I hope the Hooligan will help me in regaining my skills AND that i can transfer them to clipless wheelies on the mountainbike.
Btw, the white one does not have the lefty fork, but it does have the 8spd alfine. Which is more interresting...NOT? It is the mother of mothers ;-)
Love my Hoolis, had a 2010 8 for a while, used flat pedals and also mtb spd's depending on the ride.
I tried to post some pics but don't have 10 posts yet.
I use mine for daily rides, commuting, fun/family rides. I'm 38, been riding since a kid currently have a Carbon Cannondale Synapse, Gary Fisher Mendota, MirraCo Icon, am building a flatland bike and by far the Hooli is the most fun bike I have ever had. I do have a BMX background so I love the quick 20" wheels.
The best source of info for Hoolis is a Facebook page, lots of people with some cool mods... 18 speeds, drop bars, some suspension forks, etc.
Anyway, ride safe and enjoy the weekend. :thumbsup:

Only having seen pics of them and not in the flesh, I'd go the green. The blue graphics on the downtube don't seem to match it but the green is a far better colour. The bike is going to turn heads as it is, no point hiding it behind the dull grey.
Mine's going to be black (2011 model), but I'd happily have the green if I had an option.

Yes both my friends prefer the green to, I must admit the green is a far better color but it's just me that think I might wanna just be low key with the grey since I'm not getting younger anymore(I'm 38) but on the other hand, I can say myself as a 'flashy' person. So I am pretty much caught in a dilemma between these two colors. :madman:
I have also noted that the hooligan comes with 2 different sized BB's. The larger one is eccentric and is used to adjust chain tension on the rear hub 3 speed model. Whereas the standard sized BB is used on a rear d 9speed model.
Could anyone tell me the pros and cons of different sized BB's?

Hi I just purchased a used Cannondale Hooligan 9 with 200 miles on it, it's a sweet bike and I have included a picture of it. However it comes with what I believe to be a 10-15º rise. I am wondering if there are any online websites that I can purchase the same cannondale C3 stem at 80-90mm 35-45º rise? Are there any other alternative stem I can be looking at that gives me a 35-45º rise? It must be of an equivalent or better quality than the C3 stem which I believe is not hard to find.
