I'll save those in case the Zefal fails again, will need to measure my tube size as I've ordered similar before and they've been too small.

That is why nothing fitted, but why not fit a Hex screw as all the other ones are, even Shimano ones although the thread is the same, the hex head is different. That is life I know, nothing is uniform.

Well, an update... I sold it anyway, decided I didn't need any more projects just now. One thing that put me off was the fact that it had a BB30 shell, and I didn't fancy faffing about with that. So at least some CAAD8 came with a BB30 setup.
AFAIK, Cannondale continued making the CAAD8 frame even after the subsequent numbers 9-13 etc were introduced. One difference was the '8 retained a straight 1.1/8" steerer tube and a carbon fork with alloy steerer tube, whereas all the other variants later came with tapered head tube and fork steerers. Am sure there were other differences, although I think previously Cannondale were known to use the same aluminium frame for variants of a model, so if you bought a Tiagra equipped CAAD5 for example you got the exact same frame as one delivered with full Dura Ace / Hollowgram cranks.

Thank you for clearing that up. In my ignorance I did`nt know about the JIS screwhead. When I was at work in the tv trade it was either Philips or Pozidrive, hence I never had a JIS screwdriver in my armoury.

Finally fitted the mud guards with integrated rack (Herkelmann Wingee) on the new commuter after procrastinating it for weeks.
My excuse: there is no manual how to install them, the rear mud guard rack is a bit more complex than usual mud guards and I'm a fairly simple minded guy.

There is a fine line between due deliberation and procrastination. You can only break the thing once :-)

Tinkered with the brake system on the new commuter (current Campagnolo Veloce Ergopower 10speed, Jagwire Pro brake cables, Jagwire KEB-SL cable housings, TRP Spyre brakes, BBB Cycling organic brake pads). The front brake is more squishy than the rear brake and I don't know why - yet. The housing ends were cut fairly perpendicular, there's no unusual play in the brake train. My main suspects at the moment are the brake pads, because they seem to be not parallel to each other.
