MAINTENANCE
The following table lists only supplemental maintenance items. Please consult your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
for
more information on basic bike maintenance. Consult with your Cannondale Dealer to create a complete maintenance program
for your riding style, components, and conditions of use. Follow the maintenance recommendations given by the component
manufacturers for the various non-Cannondale parts of your bike.
WHAT TO DO
HOW OFTEN
APPLY FRAME PROTECTION:
DOWNTUBE
- A clear protective material is applied to carbon version of this bike.
The material protects the downtube from damage caused by small debris. Have it
replaced if it becomes damaged or is missing.
See page 7.
CHAINPLATE
- Check the chain plate located on the drive side chainstay behind
the chainrings. Replace it with a new one if it is missing or damaged.
See page 7.
HOUSING AND CABLES
- Your bike has been supplied with small adhesive frame
protectors. Place this material on the the frame between where cables and
housing rub due to movement. Overtime, cable rubbing can wear into the frame
itself causing very serious frame damage.
See pages 7 and 9.
CHAINSTAY
- A clear adhesive chain slap protector has been placed on the right
chainstay of the swingarm. Replace this protector if it becomes damaged.
See
pages 7 and 9.
NOTE:
Damage to your bike caused by cable rubbing is not a condition covered under
your warranty. Also, adhesive frame guards are not a fix for incorrectly installed or
routed cables or lines. If you find that applied guards are wearing out very quickly,
consult with your Cannondale Dealer about the routing on your bike.
AFTER FIRST RIDE
&
EVERY FEW RIDES
INSPECT THE FRAME, CHAINSTSAY, SEATSTAYS
- Clean and visually inspect
entire bike frame/ assembly for cracks or damage.
See “Inspect For Safety” in your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
BEFORE AND AFTER EACH RIDE
WARNING
ANY PART OF A POORLY MAINTAINED BIKE CAN BREAK OR MALFUNCTION LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT WHERE YOU
CAN BE KILLED, SEVERELY INJURED OR PARALYZED.
Please ask your Cannondale Dealer to help you develop a complete
maintenance program, a program which includes a list of the parts on your bike for YOU to check regularly. Frequent checks
are necessary to identify the problems that can lead to an accident.
