PART 2
A few things to think about:
Section D. Inspect For Safety
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
A few things to think about:
ONCE A CRACKS STARTS IT CAN GROW AND GROW FAST.
Think about the crack as forming a pathway to failure. This means that any crack is
potentially dangerous and will only become more dangerous. SIMPLE RULE 1: If you find
crack, replace the part.
CORROSION SPEEDS DAMAGE.
Cracks grow more quickly when they are in a corrosive environment. Think about the
corrosive solution as further weakening and extending the crack. SIMPLE RULE 2: Clean
your bike, lubricate your bike, protect your bike from salt, remove any salt as soon as you
can.
STAINS AND DISCOLORATION CAN OCCUR NEAR A CRACK.
Such staining may be a warning sign that a crack exists. SIMPLE RULE 3: Inspect and
investigate any staining to see if it is associated with a crack.
SIGNIFICANT SCRATCHES, GOUGES, DENTS OR SCORING CREATE STARTING
POINTS FOR CRACKS.
Think about the cut surface as a focal point for stress (in fact engineers call such areas
“stress risers,” areas where the stress is increased). Perhaps you have seen glass cut?
Recall how the glass was scored and then broke on the scored line. SIMPLE RULE 4: Do
not scratch, gouge or score any surface. If you do, pay frequent attention to this area or
replace the part.
SOME CRACKS (particularly larger ones) MAY MAKE CREAKING NOISE AS YOU RIDE.
Think about such a noise as a serious warning signal. Note that a well-maintained bicycle
will be very quiet and free of creaks and squeaks. SIMPLE RULE 5: Investigate and find
the source of any noise. It may not a be a crack, but whatever is causing the noise should
be fixed before riding.
