SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT COMPOSITES MESSAGE
WARNING
Your bike (frame and components) is made from composite
materials also known as“carbon ber.”
All riders must understand a fundamental reality of
composites. Composite materials constructed of carbon
bersare strongandlight,butwhencrashed oroverloaded,
carbon bers 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.
YOUCAN BESEVERELYINJURED,PARALYZEDORKILLED
INAN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS MESSAGE.
BICYCLE REPAIR/ WORK STANDS
The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a crushing force
strong enough to seriously damage your frame.
NOTICE
Never place your bike in a bike stand by clamping the frame.
Placeyourbikeinastandbyextendingtheseatpostandpositioning
the stand clamp on the extended seat post. Don’t extend beyond
the MINIMUM INSERT line marked on the seat post.
Since your carbon seat post can also be damaged by clamping
force, adjust the stand clamp for the minimum clamping force
needed to secure the bike.
Also, before clamping, clean the post and protect the seat post
nish with a rag.
If you have an old un-used seat post, use it instead of your regular
post to mount your bike in a stand.
INSPECTION& CRASH DAMAGE OF
CARBONFRAMES/FORKS
WARNING
AFTERACRASH ORIMPACT:
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 ber.
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A
DELAMINATIONORDAMAGE:
■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
ber section
Continuing to ride a damaged frame increases the
chances of frame failure, with the possibility of
injury or death of the rider.
INTENDED USE
WARNING
UNDERSTAND YOURBIKE AND ITS INTENDED USE.
USING YOURBIKE THE WRONG WAY IS DANGEROUS.
Industry usage Conditions 1 - 5 are generalized and evolving.
Consult your Cannondale Dealer about how you intend to use your
bike.
Please read your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for
more information about Intended Use and Conditions 1-5.

MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
Maximum Fork Length is an important frame safety testing
specication. You must observe the measurement when
installing headset parts, headset adapters, installing and
adjusting a fork, and selecting replacement forks. In this
manual, the number is also listed in the GEOMETRY/
SPECIFICATIONS.

MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
HOW TO MEASURE: 1. Install headset and fork. 2. Extend
fork and measure the distance from the bottom of the head
tube to the center of the wheel axle. Do not measure from
the bottom of headset bearing cups or head tube adapters.
The measurement MUST be taken from the bottom of the head
tube!!
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
Exceeding the MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH limit can overload
the frame causing it to fail (break) while riding.
YOUCAN BESEVERELYINJURED,PARALYZEDORKILLED
INAN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.
TIRE SIZE
WARNING
OBSERVE THE “MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH” FORYOUR
BIKE FOUND INTHE GEOMETRY/ SPECIFICATIONS
SECTIONOF THIS SUPPLEMENT.
Mounting the wrong size tires can result in the tires hitting
the fork or frame when riding. If this happens, you can lose
control of your bike and you can be thrown o, a moving
tire can be stopped because it touches the fork or frame.
Do not mount oversized tires, ones that rub or hit the fork
or frame, ones that result in too little clearance, or ones
that can hit the fork or frame when the suspension is fully
compressed or when riding.
Take care that the tires you select are compatible with
your bike’s fork or frame design. Also, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations of your front fork and
rear shocks.
When you are considering tires for your bike consider...
The actual measured size of a tire may be dierent than
its sidewall marking. Each time you mount a new tire,
take the time to inspect the actual clearance between the
rotating tire and all parts of the frame. The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires at least 1/16”
(1.6 mm) tire clearance from any part of the bike. Allowing
for lateral rim ex and a wheel or rim that is out-of-true
will likely mean choosing a rear tire that provides even
more clearance than the CPSC recommends.

MINIMUM SEAT POST INSERT DEPTH
The seat post of X-Large size RZ One Twenty frames must be
inserted a minimum of 110 mm .
110 mm
WARNING
MAKE SURE AT LEAST 110 mm OF THE SEAT POST IS
INSERTED INTO THE FRAME AT ALL TIMES. Failure to insert
the seat post correctly can place a very high stress on the
seat tube top tube junction causing the frame to break while
riding.
Measure 110 mm from the bottom of the seat post. Use
a permanent marker to mark the post at 110 mm. When
adjusting the seat post height in the seat tube, never adjust
the seat post so that the line you mark is above the top edge
of the seat tube.
YOU MUST ALSO BE AWARE THATbicycle seat posts are
permanently marked by the manufacturer with a “MINIMUM
INSERT” line on the seat post itself. You must not rely on this
marking as an indication of the proper MINIMUM SEAT POST
INSERTION DEPTH.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED ORKILLED IN
AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.
The X-Large size code“XL”can be found etched into the bottom
bracket shell in the area shown below.

BEARING MAINTENANCE
Inspect bearing condition annually (at a minimum) and anytime the crankset assembly is disassembled or serviced.
With the crankset removed, rotate the inner bearing race of both bearings; rotation should be smooth quietly. No bearing play or
movement inside the shell. If the bearing is damaged, replace both bearings with new ones.
BOTTOM BRACKET
The bottom bracket shell is compatible with the BB30 Standard. See http://www.bb30standard.com/ . The SI bottom bracket
adapter enables the use of standard English/68mm bottom bracket cranksets. See page 6.

MAINTENANCE
Bearings are a sealed cartridge type and do not require
periodic lubrication. Unlike interference t bearings that
are pressed in place, these slip t bearings are xed in place
with the anaerobic adhesive , Loctite™ 638. Please follow the
instructions carefully, as the strength of the resulting bond
between parts can be aected by surface preparation and time
to cure.
INSPECTION
The condition of the bearings should be inspected every 25hrs
or if the seat stay develops side-to-side play. Bearing condition
can be inspected without removing the bearings from the part.
To do it, disconnect the seat stay at the swingarm and shock
link by removing the pivot axles and spacers. With the bearing
exposed, rotate the inner race of each bearing with your
ngertip. The inner race should rotate smoothly and without
any play. The bearing itself should be fully and rmly seated in
the depth of the bearing bore . Loose but undamaged bearings
may be reinstalled using the technique as described next
page. Damaged bearings should be removed and replaced
with new ones.
REMOVAL
The bearings are a slip t within the bearing bore of both
the seat stay and the shock link. They are not a press t.
The bearings are installed with Loctite 638 which bonds the
bearing to the part. If the bearing is dicult to remove, you
may need to warm the bearing carefully to loosen the Loctite
bond. Locate a dowel on the face of the bearing and drive it
out. After the bearing is removed, remove the Loctite residue
with a small wire brush.

INSTALLATION
The following procedure should only be completed by a
professional bike mechanic.
For Loctite instructions : http://tds.loctite.com/tds5/docs/638-
EN.PDF
1. Remove old Loctite from the bearing bore and wipe the
bearing bore clean with alcohol.
2. Use a swab to apply a generous lm of Loctite™ 638 to the
entire surface of the bearing bore.
3. Clean the outer bearing race of the bearing with a clean
shop towel dampened with alcohol.
4. Use the swab to apply a generous lm of Loctite™ 638 to
the surface of the outer bearing race.
5. Insert the bearing into the bore and press it in rmly until
it bottoms against the ridge at the bottom of the bore.
6. Wipe o excess Loctite™.
IMPORTANT: The bearing must be seated against this ridge
until the Loctite cures. Allow the Loctite to cure completely
before attempting to continue assembly.
Allow at least 6 hours for Loctite to cure.
Allow at least 24 hours before riding.
NOTICE
Be careful to not damage the bearing bore
when cleaning.
