Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Basics of a Good Maintenance Schedule
Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner, and requires no special
tools or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual.
The following are examples of the type of service you should perform yourself. All other service,
maintenance and repair should be performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualified bicycle
mechanic using the correct tools and procedures specified by the manufacturer.
ALWAYS BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
Perform the “Pre-Ride Checklist” on the back cover of this manual. If your bike fails the
Mechanical Safety Check or the other Pre-Ride Checklist items, do not ride it until the
problems are corrected.
AFTER THE FIRST FEW RIDES:
Your bike will last longer and work better if you break it in before riding it hard. Control cables
and wheel spokes may stretch or “seat” when a new bike is first used and may require
readjustment by a professional bike mechanic. See also “Mechanical Safety Check.” This
section will help you identify some things that need readjustment. But even if everything
seems fine to you, it’s best to take your bike to a professional bicycle mechanic for a checkup
after about 30 days.
Another way to judge when it’s time for the first checkup is to bring the bike in after three to
five hours of hard o-road use, or about 10 to 15 hours of on-road or more casual o-road
use. But if you think something is wrong with the bike, take it to a professional bicycle
mechanic before riding it again.
AFTER EVERY LONG OR HARD RIDE:
If the bike has been exposed to water or grit; or at least every 100 miles: Clean the bike and
lightly lubricate the chain’s rollers with a good quality bicycle chain lubricant. Wipe o excess
lubricant with a lint-free cloth. Lubrication is a function of climate. Talk to a bicycle dealer
about the best lubricants and the recommended lubrication frequency for your area.
