Building Up A Frameset
Building Up A Frameset
Before building up a frameset, consult with
your Cannondale Dealer and the component
manufacturers and discuss your riding style,
ability, weight, and interest in and patience
for maintenance.
Make sure the components chosen are
compatible with your bike and intended for
your weight and riding style.
Generally speaking, lighter weight
components have shorter lives. In selecting
lightweight components, you are making a
trade-off, favoring the higher performance
that comes with less weight over longevity. If
you choose more lightweight components,
you must inspect them more frequently. If
you are a heavier rider or have a rough,
abusive, or “go for it” riding style, buy
heavy-duty components.
Read and follow the component
manufacturers warnings and instructions.
Tightening Torques
Correct tightening torques for the fasteners
on your bicycle (e.g., bolts, screws, and
nuts) are important for your safety and to
maintain the durability and performance of
your bicycle.
We urge you to have your dealer correctly
torque all fasteners using a torque wrench.
If you decide to torque fasteners yourself,
always use a torque wrench.
Find Tightening Torque Information :
The wide range of bicycle models and
components used means that a listing of
tightening torques would be out-of-date
by the time it was published. Many
fasteners should be installed with a thread
locking adhesive such as Loctite®.
To determine the correct tightening
torque and any adhesive application
for a fastener we ask you to check the
following:
•
On-product torque markings.
•
Torque specs in the component
manufacturer’s instructions shipped
with your bicycle.
•
Torque specs listed on the websites
of component manufacturers.
•
With your dealer. Dealers have
access to current data and have
experience with correct torques for
most fasteners.
