Safety Information
Important Composites Message
Important Composites
Message
Your bike (frame and components) is made
from composite materials also known as
“carbon fiber.”
All riders must understand a fundamental
reality of composites. Composite materials
constructed of carbon fibers are strong
and light, but when crashed or overloaded,
carbon fibers do not bend, they break.
For your safety, as you own and use the
bike, you must follow proper service,
maintenance, and inspection of all the
composites (frame, stem, fork, handlebar,
seat post, etc.) Ask your Cannondale
Dealer for help.
We urge you to read PART II, Section D.
“Inspect For Safety” in your Cannondale
Bicycle Owner’s Manual BEFORE you ride.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed
or killed in an accident if you ignore this
warning.
Crash/Impact Damage
Inspection
After A Crash Or Impact:
Inspect the entire bike, all parts; Look
carefully for damage. See “Inspect For
Safety” section in the Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual. See Support at www.
cannondale.com
Any of the following conditions indicate
that serious fork damage is present:
• Any “klunking,” creaking, knocking or
unexplained noises.
• A change in travel, and/or function.
• Loss of adjustment features, oil or air
leaks, or loose/broken parts.
• Crash or impact damage (cracking,
deep scratches, gouges, dents, or
bending)
• Carbon which has a soft feel or
altered shape, or broken, splintered, or
delaminated carbon fiber.)
• Visible cracks, a white or milky color
present in carbon fiber section
Continuing to ride a damaged frame /
fork increases the chances of frame /fork
failure, with the possibility of injury or
death of the rider.
