Care and Maintenance
WARNING
ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL SERVICE - Incorrectly installing, adjusting, servicing, or
assembling the wrong parts (handlebar stem, compression assembly, brake bolt, spacers and
spacer positions) on your bicycle fork can cause serious damage to it. Any failure in the fork,
headset, handlebar stem, or compression assembly while riding can cause you to have a serious
accident. All adjustments, maintenance, and any changes must be made by your Cannondale
Dealer.
STOP RIDING A DAMAGED FORK & STEM IMMEDIATELY Your fork can be seriously damaged
in any crash or impact. Damage can be concealed and requires very carefully inspection by a
professional bike mechanic. A damaged fork and/or handlebar stem can fail without warning. Go
to PART II, Section D. Inspect For Safety. Read “Understanding Composites” for information on
carbon fiber
REPLACE THE FORK WITH A NEW ONE IF THE DROPOUT TABS ARE MISSING OR DAMAGED.
The dropout tabs located at the bottom of the fork dropout act as a secondary wheel retention
device and can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork if the quick release is not
correctly adjusted and closed. It is possible for the tabs to become worn out or damaged through
repeated wheel installation and removal, car rack use, etc. Do not file, disable or remove the
secondary retention devices. If they are damaged or severely worn, replace the fork.
DO NOT MODIFY THE FORK IN ANY WAY. Do not drill holes or install mechanical clamps.
BRAKE NUT ENGAGEMENT The brake mount is the attachment point of the front brake. A
correctly size brake bolt (recessed allen nut) must be used to ensure adequate thread enagement
( a minimum of 5mm) with the brake caliper mounting post. Ask your cannondale dealer to help
you. obtain the correct brake nut.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore these warnings.
