CAUTION
Please read the fork and rear shock manufacturer’s owner’s manual and instructions
provided before attempting any set-up or adjustment.
Small adjustments to sag are performed by adjusting preload of the shock or fork. This is
done by adding or removing spring shims, adjusting the installed length of the spring with
a preload adjusting ring, or with air springs, changing air pressure settings.
Larger adjustments to sag may require changing the installed springs in the fork or shock.
Changing the spring may be a simple task or very complex depending on the design of the
fork or shock. In general: increasing preload decreases sag, decreasing preload increases sag.
Finding a suitable sag setting within the suspension fork or rear shock range is a matter of
personal preference taking body weight and how you ride into consideration.
chain length
When building a frameset into a bike, or when you need to replace your chain, there are two
methods to determine the correct chain length:
METHOD 1
Position the chain on the largest front chain ring, the largest rear cog, and through the rear
derailleur (with the cage at a 45° angle). Measure the chain length required and add two
full links more to the length.
METHOD 2
Remove the rear shock to simulate full compression of the suspension. With the chain on
the big front chain ring, the big rear cog, and through the rear derailleur (with the cage at a
45° angle), measure the chain length. Use the actual chain length measured.
WARNING
Riding with the wrong chain length (one that is too short or too long) may damage the
chain, rear derailleur, derailleur hanger, swingarm, and/or other drivetrain components,
and may cause a crash, possibly resulting in injury or death.
Make sure chain length is correct. Consult with your Cannondale Dealer.
chain retention devices
The bottom bracket design is compatible with chain retention devices conforming to the
International Standard Chain Guide 2005 (ISCG 05 ).
However, due to variances in design within the ISCG 05 standard and component quality,
some “compatible” devices may fit and work better than others. For that reason, we
recommend that you run the rear suspension through its complete range of travel when
checking the device for interference. As always, its a great idea to consult with your
Cannondale Dealer about compatibility before deciding on any component for your bike.
