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 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

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.

Place your bike in a stand by extending the seat post and

positioning 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

CARBON FRAMES/FORKS

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 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.

EN - 02/10

INTENDED USE

All models are intended for Condition 3 Cross-Country,

Marathon) riding. Condition 43 symbol shown in next gure.

For riding on

unimproved

trails with

small obstacles

CONDITION 3

Bikes designed for riding Conditions 1 and 2, plus rough

trails, small obstacles, and smooth technical areas, including

areas where momentary loss of tire contact with the ground

may occur. NOT jumping. All mountain bikes without rear

suspension are Condition 3, and so are some lightweight rear

suspension models.

INTENDED

For cross-country riding and racing which ranges from mild

to agressive over intermediate terrain (e.g., hilly with small

obstacles like roots, rocks, loose surfaces and hard pack and

depressions). There are no large“sick drop”or drop os,

jumps or launches (wooden structures, dirt embankments)

requiring long suspension travel or heavy duty components.

Cross-country and marathon equipment (tires, shocks, frames,

drive trains) are light-weight, favoring nimble speed over

brute force. Suspension travel is relatively short since the bike

is intended to move quickly on the ground and not spend time

in the air landing hard and hammering through things.

NOT INTENDED

For use in extreme forms of jumping/riding such as hardcore

mountain, Freeriding, Downhill, North Shore, Dirt Jumping,

Hucking etc.

TRADE OFF

Cross-Country bikes are lighter, faster to ride uphill, and more

nimble than All-Mountain bikes. Cross-Country and Marathon

bikes trade o some ruggedness for pedaling eciency and

uphill speed.

WARNING

UNDERSTAND YOUR BIKE AND ITS INTENDED USE.

USING YOUR BIKE 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.

HEADTUBE

HEADSET

PARTS or

ADAPTERS

AXLE

MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH

HOWTO 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 BE SEVERELYINJURED, PARALYZEDOR KILLED

IN AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.

TIRE SIZE

WARNING

OBSERVE THE “MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH” FOR YOUR

BIKE FOUND IN THE GEOMETRY/ SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION OF 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.

ASK YOUR CANNONDALE 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.

FLASH CARBON SEAT POST

MINIMUM SEAT POST INSERT DEPTH

For carbon frames, the seat post must be inserted a minimum

of 90 mm or 3.5 inches

90 mm

WARNING

MAKE SURE AT LEAST 90 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.

If your seat post isd eat post. Measure 90 mm from the

bottom of the seat post. Use a permanent marker to mark

the post at 90 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.

Installation

1. Always clean the inside of the seat tube with a dry clean

shop towel.

2. Apply a generous amount carbon gel to the inside of the

clean seat tube and to the seat post. A small nylon brush

works well for spreading inside the seat tube.

3. Apply small amount of bicycle bearing grease to the area

under the binder on the seat tube. Reinstall the seat

binder. Be sure to align the binder pin with the seat

tube slot.

125238.PDF

4. Insert the seat post, set saddle height, and tighten the

binder bolt to 5 Nm, 44 In Lbs.

NOTICE

NEVER USE SOLVENTS OR SPRAY CLEANERS.

DON’T USE GREASE; ALWAYS USE CARBON GEL. Cannondale

in kit KF115/ is a small quantity, enough for two or three

applications.

NEVER FORCE THE SEAT POST INTO THE FRAME. Stop

inserting the seat post before SAVE feature. See “MAX.

INSERT” on page 7.

ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH.

TIP: When tightening the seat binder, also check the specied

tightening torques of the saddle to seat post clamp bolts.

TIP: Its a good idea to periodically remove the binder bolt, from the

binder, clean it threads and lightly grease the threads.

Cutting the Seat Post

When cutting the seat post

1. Make a straight cut; use a cutting guide such as ParkTool

SG-7 and a carbon specic saw blade. Lightly round and

smooth the nished cut with ne sandpaper.

2. Re-mark the MINIMUM INSERT line 90 mm up from the

bottom of the cut seat post. Mark the seat post without

scoring, scratching or otherwise damaging the surface of

the seat post. Use a thin decal (automotive pin striping)

or a paint marker.

NOTE: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

bicycle regulations require minimum seat post insertion

be marked on the seat post.

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 YOUR IGNORE THIS WARNING.
