Servicing
This supplement may include procedures
beyond the scope of general mechanical
aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge may

increases the risk of an accident. Any
bicycle accident has risk of serious injury,
paralysis or death.
To minimize risk we strongly recommend
that owners always have mechanical
work done by an Authorized Cannondale
Dealer.
Intended Use
The intended use of
all models is ASTM
CONDITION 3,
Cross-Country.
Please read your
Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual
for more information about
Intended Use and Conditions 1-5.
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tightening torque would be out of date by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:
•
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.
