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 off the nice,
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.
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 it’s 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.
This kind of damage is not covered by the Cannondale
Limited Warranty.
Water Bottles
Side impacts to a water bottle or cage can result in damage
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.
Building Up A Frameset
Before building up a frameset, consult with your Cannondale
Dealer and the component manufacturers, and discuss your
riding style, ability, weight, and interest in and patience for
maintenance.
Make sure the components chosen are compatible with your
bike and intended for your weight and riding style.
Generally speaking, lighter weight components have shorter
lives. In selecting lightweight components, you are making a
trade-off, favoring the higher performance that comes with
less weight over longevity. If you choose more lightweight
components, you must inspect them more frequently. If you
are a heavier rider or have a rough, abusive or “go for it” riding
style, buy heavy duty components.
Read and follow the component manufacturers warnings and
instructions.
