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.
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.

SEAT POST
The limit a seat post can be inserted into the frame is 140 mm. In order to adjust some saddle heights, the seat post
may require cutting to shorten it. If this is the case, it should be done by a professional bike mechanic experienced in
servicing high-performance carbon components.
When installing or adjusting the seat post:
Always wipe the seat post and inside of the seat tube with a clean dry shop towel.
Apply a generous quantity of carbon gel KF115/ to the inside of the seat tube and to the seat post. Use a small
nylon brush or old tooth brush to spread the gel evenly.
Insert the seat post and set the saddle height.
Tighten the seat binder bolts evenly to the specied torque with a torque wrench. Do not exceed the maximum
torque indicated.
NOTICE
■OBSERVE THE INSERT LIMIT.
■NEVERUSE SOLVENTS ORSPRAY CLEANERS.
■DON’T USE GREASE; ALWAYS USE CARBONGEL.
Cannondale in kit KF115/ is a small quantity, enough
for two or three applications.
■DO NOT INSTALL THE SEAT POST SO THAT IS
BOTTOMED OUT INSIDE THE SEAT TUBE. Riding
with the seat post bottomed-out in the frame may
damage the frame.
■NEVERFORCE THE SEAT POST INTO THE FRAME.
■ALWAYS USE ATORQUE WRENCH.
WARNING
If the seat post requires cutting, have it done by a
professional bike mechanic with experience cutting high-
performance carbon components.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR
KILLED IF YOURIGNORE THIS WARNING.
NOTE: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) bicycle
regulations require minimum seat post insertion be marked on
the seat post.

sure the ferrule (which must be used) locates into the guide seat
before the cable is tensioned.
The rear top tube brake guide is removable. The guide is secured in the
tube opening by brake cable tension. Make sure the guide is seated
properly in the top tube opening when installing and connecting the
rear brake.

Clean and carefully inspect the dropout for any cracks or
damage before replacement. Apply a light lm of bike grease
to the dropout to minimize any noise or“creaking”that might
result from very slight movement between the dropout and
hanger during movement of the derailleur. Apply grease and
Loctite carefully.
Check derailleur adjustment after replacement. Readjust
wheel quick release so it is very tight. See PART I Section 4. A
in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
The smaller M4 size outer bolt threaded into the inner may be
used as connecting point for compatible fenders /racks. Be
sure to use the specied Loctite and a torque wrench when
tighening this fastener.
NOTICE
■Do not use a derailleur hanger alignment
tool to straighten. If bending adjustment is
necessary, remove the hanger from the frame
rst.
■The larger inner connecting bolt inner
is permanently bonded in place. Do not
attempt to removed it.
Make sure the outer bolt is installed and
tightened even if a fender/rack is not used.

BEARING MAINTENANCE
Inspect bearing condition annually (at a minimum) and any-
time 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.
