MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
Maximum Fork Length is an important frame safety testing
specification. You must observe the measurement when
installing headset parts, headset adapters, installing and
adjusting a fork, and selecting replacement forks. In this
manual, the number is also listed in the
GEOMETRY/
SPECIFICATIONS
.
HEADTUBE

ADAPTERS
AXLE
MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
HOW TO MEASURE: 1. Install headset and fork. 2. Extend
fork and measure the distance from the bottom of the head
tube to the center of the wheel axle. Do not measure from
the bottom of headset bearing cups or head tube adapters.
The measurement MUST be taken from the bottom of the
head tube!!
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH
Exceeding the MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH limit can overload
the frame causing it to fail (break) while riding.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR KILLED
IN AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.
TIRE SIZE
WARNING
OBSERVE THE “MAXIMUM TIRE WIDTH” FOR YOUR
BIKE FOUND IN THE GEOMETRY/ SPECIFICATIONS
SECTION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT.
Mounting the wrong size tires can result in the tires
hitting the fork or frame when riding. If this happens,
you can lose control of your bike and you can be thrown
off, a moving tire can be stopped because it touches the
fork or frame.
Do not mount oversized tires, ones that rub or hit the fork
or frame, ones that result in too little clearance, or ones
that can hit the fork or frame when the suspension is fully
compressed or when riding.
Take care that the tires you select are compatible with
your bike’s fork or frame design. Also, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations of your front fork and
rear shocks.
When you are considering tires for your bike consider...
The actual measured size of a tire may be different than
its sidewall marking. Each time you mount a new tire,
take the time to inspect the actual clearance between the
rotating tire and all parts of the frame. The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires at least
1/16” (1.6 mm) tire clearance from any part of the bike.
Allowing for lateral rim flex and a wheel or rim that is out-
of-true will likely mean choosing a rear tire that provides
even more clearance than the CPSC recommends.
ASK YOUR CANNONDALE DEALER FOR THE RIGHT
TIRES FOR YOUR BIKE AND ITS PARTICULAR
COMPONENTS!
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR
KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THIS
WARNING.
