SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Composites
Message
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 bers are strong and light, but
when crashed or overloaded, 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.
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
ber.
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 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
The intended use of
all models is ASTM
CONDITION 4,
All-Mountain.
Understand your bike and its
intended use. Using your bike the
wrong way is dangerous.
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.

Maximum Fork Length
Maximum Fork Length is an important frame safety testing specification for front
suspension mountain bikes. You must observe the measurement when installing
headset parts, headset adapters, installing and adjusting a fork, and selecting
replacement forks.
To Center Of
The Fork Axle
From
Bottom Of Frame
Head Tube
Maximum
Fork
Length
You must select a replacement fork not only based on head tube diameter but the
critical factor of frame maximum fork length
Do not exceed maximum fork length. Exceeding the MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH limit
can overload the frame causing it to break while riding.
Your retailer MUST follow and observe this specification for your bike. For Maximum Fork
Length specifications for Cannondale bicycles, see www.cannondale.com.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore this warn-
ing.

Tire Size x Maximum Width
Observe the Tire Size x Maximum Width for your bike found in the
“Specifications” page of this manual.
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 off, 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 different 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 flex 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.
Ask your dealer for the right tires for your bike and its particular components!
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore
this warning.

Minimum Seat Post
Insert
Make sure at least 100 mm of the
seat post is inserted into the frame
at all times.
Failure to insert the seat post at least
100 mm can place a very high stress
on the seat tube top tube junction
causing the frame to fail while riding.
Remove the seat post. Measure 100
mm from the bottom of the seat post.
Use a permanent marker to mark the
post at 100 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 that bicycle
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 or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.
Rear Shocks
Select only compatible shocks and
forks for your bike. Do not modify
your bike in any way to mount one.
Have your shock or fork installed by a
professional bike mechanic
Riding with the wrong rear shock can
damage the frame. You could have a
serious accident. Make sure the total
travel, eye-to-eye length, and stroke
length of the rear shock you select
meet the “Specications” listed in
this manual.
When selecting different shocks
or forks for your bike, make sure
that the shock or fork you select is
compatible with your bike’s design
and how you will use your bike.
You can be severely injured,
paralyzed or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.

Key Information:
A special service tool KP169/ contains
parts necessary to service the assembly.
The parts of this tool are shown shaded
above.
When connecting the seat stays to the
dropouts, always insert the small end of
pivot spacers into the dropout bearings
. The at side of the spacers should face
out, as shown.
When tightening the axles, insert the 5
mm hex key completely into the axle to
prevent damage when turning the bolt.
Always tighten with a torque wrench to
the specied torque.
Maintenance
The condition of the bearings, pivot
axles, and spacers should be inspected
periodically. These are normal wear
parts so plan to have them renewed as
they wear-out.
Inspection frequency should be
based upon how and where you ride.
Evidence of damage would be excessive
play, visible wear, or perhaps corrosion
of bearings.
If you nd any damage to the parts,
discontinue riding until all the parts
(bearings, pivot axles, spacers) can be
renewed. This will help prevent damage
elsewhere.
See the kits list in the back of this
supplement for renewal kits.

NON-DRIVE DRIVE
3mm
148mm
The Ai rear hub is offset 3 mm to the drive side.
This both aligns the cassette with the Ai frame’s
55mm chainline, and aligns the rim/tire with
frame’s centerline for correct tire clearance.
Ai wheels have equal spoke angles and tension
on both sides (non-dished wheel) which
improves wheel stiffness, strength.
• The 3mm offset is for 148 X 12mm
spacing only!
• Other Ai equipped bike with 142mm or
135mm rear spacing use a 6mm offset.
NOTICE
USE ONLY 3mm “Ai” OFFSET REAR WHEELS.
Incorrect wheel offset can damage your frame.
Standard wheel assembled on this frame will result
in insufcient tire clearance leading to rubbing and
serious frame damage. This kind of damage is not
covered by the Cannondale Limited Warranty.
Building/Truing a Wheel
If you chose to build, or true the wheel, make
sure the 3 mm offset is present. Consult with your
Cannondale Dealer if you have any questions.

LockR
Be sure to support the bike or swingarm to prevent personal injury or bike damage
when removing/disconnecting linkages of an axle.
To remove the LockR from the frame:
1. Loosen the screw 4-6 turns using a T25 Torx key.
2. Tap head of screw with a rubber mallet to un-seat the wedge bolt located on the
opposite side..
3. Remove the screw and wedge bolt from the still installed axle.
4. If it did not come out with the screw, insert a 5 mm hex key and turn to free and
remove it. If wedge still sticks insert a wooden or plastic dowel into the drive side
and drive it out.
5. To remove the axle itself, on non-drive side, insert a 6 mm hex key into the axle on
the non-drive side and and turn counter-clockwise until it can be removed.
To install the LockR from the frame:
1. Disassemble and clean all parts of the LockR axle. Do not install it assembled.
Inspect the parts for damage (burrs, scratches, deformity, wear). Replace the entire
LockR assembly if any damage is found.
2. Apply a light coating of a high-quality bicycle bearing grease to all parts.
3. Align the linkage and bearing and insert the threaded end of the pivot axle (1) into
the non-drive side.
4. Tighten the inserted pivot axle to 1 Nm using a 6 mm hex key tted torque wrench
from the non-drive side.
NOTICE
Use a calibrated torque wrench. Exceeding 1 N·m will result in permanent
damage to the LockR pivot system.
5. Insert the wedge bolt (2) into the drive side of the axle and insert the small end of
the wedge (3) into the non-drive side axle head.
6. Thread the screw (4) into wedge bolt with a wrench and tighten to 5.0 Nm.

Correct tightening torque for the fasteners (bolts, screws, nuts) on your bicycle is very
important to your safety, 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 tighten fasteners yourself always use a calibrated torque wrench!
Tightening Torques
