The handlebars can be rotated in the stem. Because the handlebars have a
curve or sweep, rotation will allow you to fine-tune your reach. Retighten
handlebar clamp bolts. Torque to 77-94 In-Lbs (8.7-10.6 Nm) before riding.
Other stem choices: The standard Cannondale Easy Rider stem has 70mm
offset. Bike E offers a “straight” stem with no offset, and a 50mm offset stem.
Both Bike E stems will fit the Easy Rider.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
This section makes no attempt to be a comprehensive manual on bicycle
mechanics. If you are not a very experienced mechanic we urge you to bring
your bicycle to an authorized Cannondale retailer where a professional mechanic
can do the job right. In addition to putting yourself at risk, poorly done
mechanical work may void your warranty. This section covers design features
unique to the Easy Rider recumbent, and is intended primarily for the Authorized
Cannondale Retailer performing the assembly and adjustments.
WARNING:WARNING: All Cannondale bicycles must be fully
assembled and adjusted by an Authorized Cannondale
Retailer before delivery to the customer.
Your Cannondale dealer should have correctly performed all adjustments before
the sale of the bicycle. If you feel that your Easy Rider is out of adjustment,
please take the bike to your Authorized Cannondale Retailer.
Holding the bike in a work stand: There are several alternatives. You may use
an oversize clamp kit for the popular Park work stands. The down tube is 1 ½”
diameter and is right at the limit for the standard Park clamp. If you clamp the
down tube you may pinch the cables. You may clamp the left-hand chainstay or
the seat back upright. If you clamp the left-hand chain stay or the seat back
upright get help and be careful, as the weight of the bike will be cantilevered.
Use care with any bike stand not to clamp so hard as to dent the tube.
Suspension set up: You will need to understand some suspension terminology in
order to follow these instructions and get the most performance from your bicycle.
Travel: The total distance that the suspended wheel can move.
3-4. The third and forth are
seat base angle and seat
base fore and aft
adjustment. The seat base
can be adjusted through 20
degrees of tilt and 30mm
fore and aft relative to the
seat back. This adjustment
is made by loosening the
four bolts (two on each side)
shown in Fig. 7. Move the
seat base to suit your preference and retighten the bolts. Torque to 77-94 In-
Lbs (8.7-10.6 Nm) before riding.
5. The fifth is the adjustment
of the backrest mesh fabric
tension. You may selectively
loosen or tighten the webbing
straps behind the seat back.
See Fig. 8.
The handlebars and stem:
The general goal is to have
your knees clear the
handlebars and to have your
hands slightly lower than
your shoulders. The height of the handlebars can be adjusted. See Fig. 9. Do
not adjust the stem above the minimum insertion line. (See section 3 A 3 of the
Cannondale Owners
Manual) As you make
adjustments and do short
test rides, be sure to do
some slow maneuvering in
tight circles so that you can
strike the right personal
compromise between knee
clearance and arm comfort.
Retighten stem clamp bolts.
Torque to 77-94 In-Lbs (8.7-
10.6 Nm) before riding.
