Adjusting The Seat P ost Cam Ac tion Mechanism
Section 4. Tech
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Adjusting The Seat Post Cam
Action Mechanism
The action of the cam squeezes the seat
collar around the seat post to hold the seat
post securely in place. 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 and unsafe
clamping force.
WARNING
The full force of the cam action is needed
to clamp the seat post 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 the seat post safely.
WARNING
If you can fully close the cam lever without
wrapping your fingers around the seat
post or a frame tube for leverage, and the
lever does not leave a clear imprint in the
palm of your hand, the tension is
insucient. Open the lever; turn the
tension adjusting nut clockwise a quarter
turn; then try again.
4.C  Brakes
There are three general types of bicycle
brakes: rim brakes, which operate by
squeezing the wheel rim between two brake
pads; disc brakes, which operate by
squeezing a hub-mounted disc between two
brake pads; and internal hub brakes. All three
can be operated by way of a handlebar
mounted lever. On some models of bicycle,
the internal hub brake is operated by
pedaling backwards. This is called a Coaster
Brake and is described in “Coaster Brakes” in
this section.
