Cannondale Mountain Hardtail Thru Axle, Quick Start Manual

Page: 12 / 16

Some final pre-ride checks.
Twist Checks. Secure the front wheel between your legs and turn
the handlebar. If the handlebar and wheel move independently, the
stem bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque wrench and correct
bit to properly torque the bolts.
Attempt to rotate the handlebar forward and backward in the stem. If
it moves, the stem faceplate bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque
wrench and correct bit to torque the faceplate bolts to specification,
using the same “X” pattern as before.
Grab the front and back of the seat and attempt to tilt it on the
seatpost head. It should not move.
Wheel Engagement. Before you ride, tighten the front and rear thru-
axles until the wrench leaves a mark, or imprint on your hand.
