sAFetY InFoRMAtIon

important Composites messaGe inspeCtion & Crash damaGe of Carbon frames/forKs

WARNING

Your bike (frame and components) is made from composite materials also known as “carbon fiber.”

All riders must understand a fundamental reality of composites. Composite materials constructed of carbon fibers are strong and light, but when crashed or overloaded, carbon fibers do not bend, they break.

For your safety, as you own and use the bike, you must follow proper service, maintenance, and inspection of all the composites (frame, stem, fork, handlebar, seat post, etc.) Ask your

Cannondale Dealer for help.

We urge you to read PART II, Section D. “Inspect

For Safety” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s

Manual BEFORE you ride.

YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED

OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE

THIS MESSAGE.

WARNING

AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT:

Inspect frame carefully for damage (See PART II,

Section D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale

Bicycle Owner’s Manual. )

Do not ride your bike if you see any sign of damage, such as broken, splintered, or delaminated carbon fiber.

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A

DELAMINATION OR DAMAGE:

■ An unusual or strange feel to the frame

■ Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape

■ Creaking or other unexplained noises,

■ Visible cracks, a white or milky color present in carbon fiber section

CONTINUING TO RIDE A DAMAGED FRAME

INCREASES THE CHANCES OF FRAME

FAILURE, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY

OR DEATH OF THE RIDER.

trainers

If you ride a trainer that requires removal of the front wheel and clamps the fork dropouts: Be sure your fork quick release is tight! Relative movement will wear parts, weaken and damage your bike.

If you ride a trainer that holds the bike up by clamping the rear quick release between two cones:

Take off the nice, lightweight quick release that came with your bike. Substitute a heavy, classic all steel quick release and clamp it tight! Relative movement will wear parts, weaken and damage your bike. Note that many modern quick releases will not fit the clamping cones in this kind of trainer because their shapes are incompatible.

Be particularly cautious with a carbon frame or fork.

Carbon is relatively soft, not abrasion resistant. If there is any relative movement, carbon will wear quickly.

If you ride a trainer a lot, consider using an old bike:

Corrosion from sweat will take it’s toll. Weight is irrelevant. Save wear on your expensive components.

Ask you dealer for help with trainers, the right one and the correct way to use it.

NOTICE

trainers - Improperly mounting a bike in a trainer, or using one that is not compatible with your particular bike frame can cause serious damage.

Water bottles - An impact, crash, or loose bottle cage can result in damage to your frame.

This kind of damage is not covered by the

Cannondale Limited Warranty.

Water bottles

Side impacts to a water bottle or cage can result in damage threaded inserts due to the leverage on a very small area. In a crash, certainly the last thing you should be worried about is saving the threaded inserts in your frame. However, when you are storing or transporting your bike, take steps to prevent situations where a water bottle may be hit or bumped by a strong force that would cause damage.

Remove bottle and cage when you are packing your bike for travel.

Periodically check the attachment of the bottle cage; tighten the cage bolts if necessary. Don’t ride with a loose bottle cage. Riding with loose cage bolts can produce a rocking motion or vibration of the attached cage. A loose cage will damage the insert and possibly lead to the inserts to pull out. It may be possible to repair a loose insert, or install another insert only if the frame is undamaged. Replacement requires the use of a special tool. If you notice damage to the threaded insert, please ask your

Cannondale Dealer for help.

buildinG up a frameset

Before building up a frameset, consult with your Cannondale Dealer and the component manufacturers, and discuss your riding style, ability, weight, and interest in and patience for maintenance.

Make sure the components chosen are compatible with your bike and intended for your weight and riding style.

Generally speaking, lighter weight components have shorter lives. In selecting lightweight components, you are making a trade-off, favoring the higher performance that comes with less weight over longevity. If you choose more lightweight components, you must inspect them more frequently. If you are a heavier rider or have a rough, abusive or “go for it” riding style, buy heavy duty components.

Read and follow the component manufacturers warnings and instructions.

aerodYnamiC handlebars

Aerodynamic or “Triathlon” handlebar extensions are fitted to some triathlon or racing bikes. They are also added by customers. Understand that when riding on these extensions your steering and braking are adversely affected. When on the extensions, most riders find it hard to look back over their shoulder without swerving, inadvertently steering.

Some riders find it harder to move their head/neck to see forward. Be sure to practice riding with aero handlebar extensions on hazard and traffic free roads. Practice the transition from having your hands on the extensions to having your hands on the regular handlebars and brake levers.

CONVENTIONAL ROAD

AERODYNAMIC extensions brake levers

WARNING do not ride on the aero handlebar extensions in traffiC or on diffiCult roads.

Ride on the aero handlebar extensions only when the road is clear of traffic and hazards and you have a long line of sight.

When using the extensions understand that you are compromising steering and braking in favor of speed. If you need to take evasive steering or braking action while on the extensions you could have an accident, with risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.

Aerodynamic handlebars and extensions are a design trade-off which positions you further forward than on a conventional road bike, so:

■ Overly hard use of the front brakes will pitch you forward, off the bike, more easily.

■ Rear braking performance will not equal that of a conventional road bike.

When braking hard on any bike, including time trial or triathalon, you must shift weight back to allow front brake use without pitching yourself forward, off the bike. Shifting weight back allows more rear braking effect before the rear wheel begins to skid when braking hard, or braking on a steep downhill. See Part 1, Section

4C. of your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.

Aerodynamic handlebars and extensions are intended for racing and competition in time trial and triathalon and are poorly suited for riding in cities or congested urban areas where conflicts with cars will frequently require panic braking.

Cable routinG

The frame features internal cable routing for both electronic remote and mechanical shifting and brakes.

full-length housing is utilized with mechanical shifting.

The wiring harness or electronic remote systems are passed through frames fitting shown on the replacement parts page.

housing length is determined by frame size; cut housing to support smooth bends inside the frame.

To dampen possible housing noise caused by vibration attach and leave un-cut several small tie wraps. This can be done during assembly.

rear derailleur hanGer

to replace:

Remove the mounting screws and remove the old hanger from the dropout. Clean the area around the dropout and inspect the frame carefully for any cracks or damage. If you find damage have the frame inspected by your Cannondale Dealer .

If the dropout is un-damaged, apply a light film of bike grease to both sides of the dropout. This will help minimize any noise or “creaking” that might result from very slight movement between the dropout and hanger during movement of the derailleur.

Slide the new hanger onto the dropout. Apply

Loctite to the screw threads and tighten to the specified torque.

NOTICE

Do not use a derailleur hanger alignment tool. If bending adjustment is necessary, remove the hanger from the frame first!

The following procedure should only be completed by a professional bike mechanic.

For Loctite instructions: http://tds.loctite.com

1. Connect the SISL2 drive side crankarm to the spiderring. apply Loctite 242 to the crankarm spidering interface and lockring. Tighten the lockring to 47nm (34 ftLbs) using the

Cannondale special tool KT012/.

2. apply grease to the drive side end of the 109mm SISL2 spindle and the crankarm spline hole. also apply grease to the fixing bolt threads and thin washer. Tighten the fixing bolt with a 10mm allen key to 40 nm, (30 ftLbs).

3. Slide the 2.5mm drive side spacer marked “bb30 SISL2 drIvE

SIdE SpaCEr” onto spindle followed by the SL2 bearing shield.

The markings on the shield face out.

4. apply bearing grease to the spindle and slide drive side crank arm/spindle into the non-drive side bb bearing. use a rubber mallet to tap the crankarm through until the spacer and shield are seated against the drive side bb bearing.

5. on the non-drive side, slide the bearing shield onto the spindle end. The markings on the shield face out.

6. Slide the wave washer and one 0.5mm shim onto the spindle.

7. Slide the non-drive side spacer onto the spindle, marking facing out.

8. apply bearing grease to the crankarm bb spline hole, spindle end and the thin washer and fixing bolt threads. Tighten-non drive the fixing bolt to 40 nm, (30 ftLbs) and check to see if wave washer is properly preloaded (still has slight wave and not loose). If it is loose, remove the crankarm and add another shim. up to 3 shims can be used. add shims as needed.

9. when the preload is set and the non-drive side fixing bolt is torqued, you are done.
