Inspection & Crash Damage Of
Carbon Frames/Forks
WARNING
AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT:
Inspect frame carefully for damage (See PART II, Section
D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s
Manual. )
Do not ride your bike if you see any sign of damage, such
as broken, splintered, or delaminated carbon fiber.
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A
DELAMINATION OR DAMAGE:
■ An unusual or strange feel to the frame
■ Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape
■ Creaking or other unexplained noises,
■ Visible cracks, a white or milky color present in
carbon fiber section
Continuing to ride a damaged frame increases the
chances of frame failure, with the possibility of injury
or death of the rider.
Repainting Or Refinishing
WARNING
Repainting, painting over, retouching, or refinishing your
frame or fork can result in severe damage leading to an
accident. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed.
Refinishing chemicals : Solvents, and strippers can
attack, weaken, or destroy the important composite
chemical bonds holding your frame together.
Using abrasives or sanding the frame/fork structure,
original paint, decals, or coatings through the use
of mechanical actions such as plastic or glass bead
blasting or other abrasive methods such as sanding or
scraping can remove frame material or weaken it.
Bicycle Repair / Work Stands
The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a
crushing force strong enough to seriously damage your
frame.
NOTICE
Never place your bike in a bike stand by clamping the
frame.
Place your bike in a stand by extending the seat post and
positioning the stand clamp on the extended seat post.
Don’t extend beyond the MINIMUM INSERT line marked on
the seat post.
Since your carbon seat post can also be damaged by
clamping force, adjust the stand clamp for the minimum
clamping force needed to secure the bike.
Also, before clamping, clean the post and protect the seat
post finish with a rag.
If you have an old un-used seat post, use it instead of
your regular post to mount your bike in a stand.
Tightening Torques
Correct tightening torque for the fasteners (bolts, screws,
nuts) on your bicycle is very important to your safety. Correct
tightening torque for the fasteners is also important for the
durability and performance of your bicycle. We urge you to
have your Dealer correctly torque all fasteners using a torque
wrench. If you decide to torque fasteners yourself always use
a torque wrench.
Find Tightening Torque Information
The wide range of bicycle models and components used means
that a listing of tightening torque would be out of date by the
time it was published. Many fasteners should be installed with
a thread locking adhesive such as Loctite®.
To determine correct tightening torque and any adhesive
application for a fastener we ask you to check:
• Markings on the component. Many components are
marked. On-product marking is becoming common.
• Torque specs in the component manufacturers
instructions shipped with your bicycle.
• Torque specs listed on the websites of component
manufacturers.
• With your Dealer. Dealers have access to current data and
have experience with correct torque for most fasteners.
