Section D. Inspect For Safety
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
 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.
 Stem
Clean and inspect carefully for cracks. Pay
particular attention to the underside of the
stem. If the stem is of welded construction,
examine the edges of each weld. See also the
closely related handlebar section below.
 Handlebars
Remove from stem. With road bars, you will
need to remove the handlebar tape. Remove any
handlebar mounted components. Clean and
inspect carefully for cracks. Pay particular
attention to the area where the handlebar
emerges from the stem. This is the area where
virtually all handlebars will eventually break.
Periodic replacement of all handlebars is
strongly recommended. How often they need to
be replaced depends upon the many factors
outlined above.
Be sure that you do not scratch or score the
surface of the handlebars with either the stem
or the brake or shifter levers. As noted above,
any such damage will reduce the life of the
handlebar and could lead to breakage.
If you find that there is a sharp edge or burr
on the inside of the stem, right where the
handlebars emerge, it must be smoothed out
with fine sandpaper (220 grit or finer) before
the new handlebars are installed. Such a
sharp edge or burr could cause a scratching
or scoring of the handlebar. As noted above,
any such damage will reduce the life of the
handlebar and could lead to breakage.
