just measure your BB shell width to check

One thing though, I got that BB an had to buy another BB tool as the plastic converter tool supplied with the BB didn't fit my current tool, bloody annoying

Looking through old Cannondale catalogs, the most recent listing I could find for the Prophet was 2008. And in that case, it was using a GXP bottom bracket. So to answer your question, yes it will physically fit in the bottom bracket shell, but will not work with the GXP cranks that came with the bike. If you were looking to upgrade cranks using that bottom bracket then you should be good.

Evening all!

Anyone know how to tell the difference between a boost and non boost slx m7000 crankset by looking at them?

Cheers!

If you can look for the model number, the boost one will end in B1 (Boost 1x) or B2 (Boost 2x) whereas the nonboost will just end in "1" for 1x or "2" if it's 2x

The number on the crank arm ends in a "B".

Thanks for the replies re my fork seals. I’m planning on doing a lower leg service anyway as the bushings need a look at.
I haven’t noticed any stiction, I’m mostly worried that if the seals are worn out they could damage the stanchions?

its the dirt that damages a fork, poor seals will not help but the important thing is to clean them and change oil regularly in bad conditons

in fact tight seals can cause more wear when dirt get into them, SKF ones are cheap and work well,

So I'm (most likely) going to be leaving my bike in my car for most of this summer, basically it'll go up to 40-50 C during the day and the back down. I'm concerned about my tires, mainly the tubeless sealant drying out, would this be a big problem?

Not likely. What I would worry about is your brakes. If you have OEM Guides, they will shit the bed.

Steerer tube is too short for me to fit my stem on, even with a low stack headset. Anyone have an suggestions? Currently at loctite bonding in a quill style steerer extension but not sure if that will cut the mustard.

Cheers.

Does this affect the Codes as well?

Not to my knowledge. The reason Guides have had so many issues is because SRAM makes much lower quality OEM levers, which are different than the properly designed aftermarket offerings. I haven't heard the same for the Codes, and have seen minimal warranty issues for OEM or aftermarket Codes, R or RSC.
