3. Removing And Installing Wheels
Section 4. Tech
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
a. Adjusting the traditional cam
action mechanism (fig. 8a)
The wheel hub is clamped in place by the
force of the over-center cam pushing
against one dropout and pulling the
tension adjusting nut, by way of the
skewer, against the other dropout. The
amount of clamping force is controlled
by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the
tension adjusting nut clockwise while
keeping the cam lever from rotating
increases clamping force; turning it
counterclockwise while keeping the cam
lever from rotating reduces clamping
force. Less than half a turn of the tension
adjusting nut can make the dierence
between safe clamping force and unsafe
clamping force.
WARNING
The full force of the cam action is needed
to clamp the wheel securely.
Holding the nut with one hand and turning
the lever like a wing nut with the other
hand until everything is as tight as you can
get it will not clamp a cam action wheel
safely in the dropouts.
See also WARNING on page 33.
b. Adjusting the cam-and-cup
mechanism (fig. 8B)
The cam-and-cup system on your front
wheel will have been correctly adjusted for
your bicycle by your dealer. Ask your dealer
to check the adjustment every six months.
Do not use a cam-and-cup front wheel on
any bicycle other than the one for which your
dealer adjusted it.
3. Removing And Installing
Wheels
WARNING
If your bike is equipped with a hub brake
such as a rear coaster brake, front or rear
drum, band or roller brake; or if it has an
internal gear rear hub, do not attempt to
remove the wheel.
The removal and re-installation of most
hub brakes and internal gear hubs requires
special knowledge. Incorrect removal or
assembly can result in brake or gear
failure, which can cause you to lose control
and fall.
CAUTION
If your bike has a disc brake, exercise care
in touching the rotor or caliper. Disc rotors
have sharp edges, and both rotor and
caliper can get very hot during use.
