Warranty. It is available on the Policies page of our website at:
www.cannondale.com
Be sure to read the exclusions listed in the
limited warranty. For example, damage from accidents and improper maintenance are not covered.
Definitions related to forks:
The fork structure is covered in the FRAMES section of the Cannondale Limited Warranty.
“Fork structure” means certain structural parts of the fork, specifically the fork legs, outer tube, the steerer tube, steerer tube clamps and the
inner tubes with attached dropouts or spindle. Cable clamps, needle bearings, races, and bushings which are part of the telescopic assembly
are normal wear and tear items and ARE NOT covered by the limited lifetime warranty.
The internal fork internal parts are covered by the 1 year (2 years in EU countries) warranty against defects in materials or workmanship
described in the COMPONENTS section of the Cannondale Limited Warranty. “Internal fork parts” are defined as items such as damping
cartridges and their internal parts, seals, o-rings, air cylinders, air pistons, springs, elastomers, bumpers, bushings, needle bearings, races, and
oil. Normal wear and tear on these items is NOT covered by this 1 year (2 in EU) warranty. Like brake pads on a car, you should expect to have
these items professionally replaced or renewed as you use the fork and they wear.
Fork Warranty Claims
For any warranty claim to be considered, the bicycle/fork must be brought into an Authorized Cannondale Retailer on the continent on which
the bicycle/fork was purchased. The bicycle/fork must be in assembled condition and accompanied by the original, dated sales receipt for the

Cleaning
Clean using only a mild soap and water solution. Clean water and common liquid dish washing soap will work best. Be sure to cover the
adjusters with a clean plastic bag secured with a rubber band or masking tape. Spray off heavy dirt before wiping. Spray indirectly.
NoTICe
• DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER. Use a low pressure garden hose. Power washing will force contaminants into the fork promoting
corrosion, immediately damaging, or result in accelerated wear.
• DON’T DRY WITH COMPRESSED AIR FOR THE SAME REASON.
Tightening Torques
Correct tightening torque for the fasteners (bolts, screws, nuts) on your bicycle is very important to your safety.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 tighten fasteners
yourself always use a good torque wrench!
