bearing maintenance
Inspect bearing condition annually (at a minimum) and anytime the crankset assembly is disassembled or
serviced. With the crankset removed, rotate the inner bearing race of both bearings; rotation should be smooth.
No play or movement inside the shell. If the bearing is damaged, replace both bearings with new ones.

- Frequent or routine renewal of undamaged bearings is not recommended. Repeated removal and
reinstallation can damage the inside BB shell surfaces resulting in poor bearing fit. Do not face, mill or
machine the bottom bracket shell for any reason. Doing so can result in serious damage and possibly a ruined
bike frame.
adapterS
- Use only adapters/tool recommended by Cannondale. Other available adapters /tools may cause
damage. See Replacement Parts. An adapter isn’t a “repair” part, so the BB shell must be in good condition.
Repeated removal and reinstallation of an adapter, or improper tools can cause damage. Therefore it is not
recommended.
