PART 2
3. Understanding components
Section D. Inspect For Safety
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
3. Understanding
components
It is often necessary to remove and disassemble
components in order to properly and carefully
inspect them. Most customers will use this
component list as a checklist. The intention
here is to tell you what parts, and what area of
each part, most need inspection. Insist that
your mechanic do such inspections. Our
intention is definitely not to teach bicycle
mechanics.
WARNING
Failure to disassemble or reassemble
bicycle components properly could result
in an accident, with risk of serious injury,
paralysis or death.
There are many special tools and techniques
required. Unless you are a very experienced
and skilled bicycle mechanic, we urge you to
have this work done by a professional
bicycle retailer.
If you see any crack, or anything you
are unsure of, please take your bicycle
to a retailer. If you ride a delaminated
or cracked frame/fork/component it
may completely break apart with risk of
accident, serious injury, paralysis or death.
If you have carbon fiber components,
you must read part ii, section d. 2.
Understanding composites.
Do not ride any component with a crack,
even a small one. Replace the component
before riding. Break or saw in half any
component you replace so that no one uses
it again.
 Aftermarket “Super Light” Components
Think carefully about your rider profile as
outlined above. The more you fit the “shorten
product life” profile, the more you must
question the use of super light components.
The more you fit the “lengthen product life”
profile, the more likely it is that lighter
components may be suitable for you.
Discuss your needs and your profile very
honestly with your retailer. Take these choices
seriously and understand that you are
responsible for the changes.
A great slogan to discuss with your retailer as
you consider changing components: “Strong,
Light, Cheap – Pick two.
 Original Equipment Components
Cannondale tests the fatigue life of many of the
components that are original equipment on
your bike. This means that the designs many
original equipment components have met our
test criteria and have reasonable fatigue life. It
does not mean that the original equipment
components will last forever. They will not.
