Trainers
If you ride a trainer that requires removal
of the front wheel and clamps the fork
dropouts: Be sure your fork quick release is
tight! Relative movement will wear parts,
weaken and damage your bike.
If you ride a trainer that holds the bike up
by clamping the rear quick release between
two cones: Take o the lightweight quick
release that came with your bike. Substitute
a heavy, classic all steel quick release and
clamp it tight! Relative movement will wear
parts, weaken and damage your bike. Note
that many modern quick releases will not
fit the clamping cones in this kind of trainer
because their shapes are incompatible.
For thru axles, make sure you follow the
trainer manufacturer instructions for the use
of any required adapters.
Be particularly cautious with a carbon frame
or fork. Carbon is relatively soft, not abrasion
resistant. If there is any relative movement,
carbon will wear quickly.
If you ride a trainer a lot, consider using an
old bike: Corrosion from sweat will take its
toll. Weight is irrelevant. Save wear on your
expensive components.
Ask you dealer for help with trainers, the
right one and the correct way to use it.
NOTICE
TRAINERS - Improperly mounting a
bike in a trainer, or using one that is not
compatible with your particular bike frame
can cause serious damage.
WATER BOTTLES - An impact, crash, or
loose bottle cage can result in damage to
your frame.
These kinds of damage is not covered by
the Cannondale Limited Warranty.
Water Bottles
Side impacts to a water bottle or cage can
result in damage to threaded inserts due to
the leverage on a very small area. In a crash,
certainly the last thing you should be worried
about is saving the threaded inserts in your
frame. However, when you are storing or
transporting your bike, take steps to prevent
situations where a water bottle may be hit or
bumped by a strong force that would cause
damage. Remove bottle and cage when you
are packing your bike for travel.
Periodically check the attachment of
the bottle cage; tighten the cage bolts if
necessary. Don’t ride with a loose bottle
cage. Riding with loose cage bolts can
produce a rocking motion or vibration of the
attached cage. A loose cage will damage the
insert and possibly lead to the inserts to pull
out.
It may be possible to repair a loose insert,
or install another insert only if the frame is
undamaged. Replacement requires the use
of a special tool. If you notice damage to the
threaded insert, please ask your Cannondale
Dealer for help.
