Inspection & Crash Damage Of  
Carbon Frames/Forks

WARNING

AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT:

Inspect frame carefully for damage (See PART II, Section 
D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s 
Manual. )  

Do not ride your bike if you see any sign of damage, such 
as broken, splintered, or delaminated carbon fiber.  

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A 

 

DELAMINATION OR DAMAGE:

■  

An unusual or strange feel to the frame

■  

Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape

■  

Creaking or other unexplained noises,

■  

Visible cracks, a white or milky color present in 
carbon fiber section

Continuing to ride a damaged frame increases the 
chances of frame failure, with the possibility of injury 
or death of the rider. 

  

Repainting Or Refinishing

WARNING

Repainting, painting over, retouching, or refinishing  your 
frame or fork can result in severe damage leading to an 
accident.  You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed.  

Refinishing chemicals :  Solvents, and strippers can 
attack, weaken, or destroy the important composite 
chemical  bonds holding your  frame together.    

Using abrasives or sanding the frame/fork structure, 
original paint, decals, or coatings through the use 
of mechanical actions such as plastic or glass bead 
blasting or other abrasive methods such as sanding or 
scraping can remove frame material or weaken it. 

Bicycle Repair / Work Stands

The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a 
crushing force strong enough to seriously damage  your 
frame.

NOTICE

Never place your bike in a bike stand by clamping the 
frame.   

Place your bike in a stand by extending the seat post and 
positioning the stand clamp on the extended seat post.   
Don’t extend beyond the MINIMUM INSERT line marked on 
the seat post.

Since your carbon seat post can also be damaged by 
clamping force, adjust the stand clamp for the minimum 
clamping force needed to secure the bike.

Also, before clamping,  clean the post and protect the seat 
post finish with a rag.

If you have an old un-used seat post,   use  it instead of 
your regular post to mount your  bike in a stand. 

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:

•   Markings  on  the  component.  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.
