Water Bottle & External
Batteries
Side impacts to a water bottle or external
battery can result in damage to threaded
inserts due to the leverage on a very small
area. In a crash, certainly the last thing you
should be worried about is saving the
threaded inserts in your frame. However,
when you are storing or transporting your
bike, take steps to prevent situations where a
water bottle may be hit or bumped by a
strong force that would cause damage.
Remove bottle and cage when you are
packing your bike for travel.
Periodically check the attachment of the
bottle cage and any external battery; tighten
the cage bolts if necessary. Don’t ride with a
loose bottle cage. Riding with loose cage
bolts can produce a rocking motion or
vibration of the attached cage. A loose cage
will damage the insert and possibly lead to
the inserts to pull out.
It may be possible to repair a loose insert, or
install another insert only if the frame is
undamaged. Replacement requires the use
of a special tool. If you notice damage to the
threaded insert, please ask your Cannondale
Dealer for help.
Disc Brakes on Road Bikes
Relative to conventional rim brakes, disc
brakes are less affected by water, do not
wear or heat the rims and therefore are
more consistent. Disc brakes also may be
more powerful.
To minimize risk of injury or accidents:
•
Understand that road bikes have a
relatively small tire contact patch
(part of the tire that touches the
road). In order to apply the brakes
safely and effectively, you may need
more or less braking force in
different situations. You need to take
into account various road and
weather conditions that can affect
traction.
•
Disc brakes are excellent, but not
some kind of magic. Take some time
riding your new disc brake road bike
in lower risk circumstances to get
used to the feel and performance of
the disc brakes and tires.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or
killed in an accident if you ignore this
message.
