Important Composites Message
151901 Rev. 0 (09/22)
SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Composites
Message
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
warning.
Inspection & Crash Damage
Of Carbon Frames/Forks
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.

Safety Information
Intended Use
Intended Use
The intended use of all
models is
ASTM CONDITION 1,
High-Performance
Road.
Please read your Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual for more information
about Intended Use and Conditions 15.
Servicing
This supplement may include procedures
beyond the scope of general mechanical
aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge may
be required. Improper mechanical work
increases the risk of an accident. Any
bicycle accident has risk of serious injury,
paralysis, or death.
To minimize risk we strongly recommend
that owners always have mechanical
work done by an Authorized Cannondale
Dealer.
Disc Brakes on Road Bikes
Relative to conventional rim brakes, disc
brakes are less aected by water, do not
wear or heat the rims and therefore are
more consistent. Disc brakes also may be
more powerful.
To minimize risk of injury or accidents:
• Understand that road bikes have a
relatively small tire contact patch
(part of the tire that touches the
road). In order to apply the brakes
safely and eectively, you may need
more or less braking force in
dierent situations. You need to take
into account various road and
weather conditions that can aect
traction.
• Disc brakes are excellent, but not
some kind of magic. Take some time
riding your new disc brake road bike
in lower risk circumstances to get
used to the feel and performance of
the disc brakes and tires.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed
or killed in an accident if you ignore this
message.

Safety Information
Using a Trainer
151901 Rev. 0 (09/22)
Using a Trainer
Follow the trainer manufacturer instructions for the
use of any required adapters.
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 its 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.
This kind of damage is not covered by the
Cannondale Limited Warranty.
See “2-in-1 Trainer Thru Axle Installation
Instructions 138252.pdf”
at www.cannondale.com
Water Bottles
Side impacts to a water bottle or cage can
result in damage to 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 the 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.
A loose cage will damage the insert and
possibly lead to the inserts pulling out.
It may be possible to repair a loose insert or
to 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.
NOTICE
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.

Safety Information
Building Up A Frameset
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-o, 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.
Tightening Torques
Correct tightening torques for the fasteners
on your bicycle (e.g., bolts, screws, and
nuts) are important for your safety and to
maintain the durability and performance of
your bicycle.
We urge you to have your dealer correctly
torque all fasteners using a torque wrench.
If you decide to torque fasteners yourself,
always use a torque wrench.
Find Tightening Torque Information :
The wide range of bicycle models and
components used means that a listing of
tightening torques would be out-of-date
by the time it was published. Many
fasteners should be installed with a thread
locking adhesive such as Loctite®.
To determine the correct tightening
torque and any adhesive application
for a fastener we ask you to check the
following:
• On-product torque markings.
• Torque specs in the component
manufacturer’s instructions shipped
with your bicycle.
• Torque specs listed on the websites
of component manufacturers.
• With your dealer. Dealers have
access to current data and have
experience with correct torques for
most fasteners.

Headset Delta Compression Assembly - K35051
151901 Rev. 0 (09/22)
Headset Delta Compression Assembly - K35051
The Supersix Evo utilizes a fork with a
triangular steerer, also known as a “delta
steerer”
Only headset compression assembly K35051
can be used with the fork.
Important Information For Owners
The headset, stem, handlebar spacers, and
compression assembly are parts of a system
designed to work together. It is important to
your safety that you do not alter, remove or
omit parts, or assemble the system
incorrectly.
This manual does not include instructions for
servicing. This is why you should have work on
the system performed by a professional
bicycle mechanic with the experience, tools,
and information to complete any needed
service.
Have a professional bicycle mechanic service the fork, headset ,and stem of your bicycle.
Headset compression assembly K35051 must be assembled with both filler pieces. Do not
remove them for any reason.
The steerer top must be level (+2/-1mm) with top of the stem.
Key Points
The delta steerer must be sized correctly. A
mechanic must observe guidlines for cutting
and preparing the carbon fork for the frame.
The spacers used for bikes with internal
routing have been designed so that both filler
pieces are correctly positioned with the foot
pointing down.
Internal routing of the cables/housing is
limited to the void between the headset
bearing and the steerer sides.
NOTICE
Hose lengths must be carefully selected.
Avoid both too long and too short, because
incorrect lengths can limit steering angle
and damage hoses.
