EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

In this supplement, particularly important

information is presented in the following ways:

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Indicates special precautions that must be

taken to avoid damage.

ASTM F2043

For rough

o-road riding

and jumps less

than 24” (61 cm)

The intended use of all models

is ASTM CONDITION 3, Cross-

Country.

IMPORTANT COMPOSITES

MESSAGE

WARNING

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 MESSAGE.

INSPECTION & CRASH

DAMAGE OF CARBON

FRAMES/FORKS

WARNING

AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT:

Inspect frame carefully for damage (See PART II,

Section D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale

Bicycle Owner’s Manual. )

Do not ride your bike if you see any sign

of damage, such as broken, splintered, or

delaminated carbon ﬁber.

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING MAY INDICATE A

DELAMINATION OR DAMAGE:

■ An unusual or strange feel to the frame

■Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape

■Creaking or other unexplained noises,

■Visible cracks, a white or milky color present

in carbon ﬁber section

CONTINUING TO RIDE A DAMAGED FRAME

INCREASES THE CHANCES OF FRAME

FAILURE, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY

OR DEATH OF THE RIDER.

bearings are accepted directly into both type. For 1.5”

and 1 1/8” adapter headsets, see Replacement Parts.

NOTICE

Do not face, surface, or cut the head tube bearing

cups. When removing adapters, bearings, or

cup from the frame, extra care must be used so

that the tool used to drive out the bearing is not

located on any part a bonded cup.

ASYMMETRIC INTEGRATION (Ai) - REAR WHEEL

ABOUT

You must use rear wheels that are compatible

with the Cannondale Asymmetric Integration

(Ai) 6mm oset. OEM wheels built to this

speciﬁcation are identiﬁed with “Ai” logo, shown

at right.

6mm OFFSET /

55mm CHAINLINE

The Ai rear hub is oset 6mm to the drive side.

This both aligns the cassette with the Ai frame’s

55mm chainline, and aligns the rim/tire with

frame’s centerline for correct tire clearance. (See

also, Maximum Tire Width in SPECIFICATIONS).

Ai wheels have equal spoke angles and tension

on both sides (non-dished wheel) which

improves wheel stiness, strength.

NOTICE

USE ONLY “Ai” OFFSET REAR WHEELS.

Incorrect wheel oset can damage your

frame.

Standard wheel assembled on this frame will

result in insucient tire clearance leading to

rubbing and serious frame damage. This kind

of damage is not covered by the Cannondale

Limited Warranty.

Building/Truing a Wheel

If you chose to build, or true the wheel, make

sure the 6mm oset is present.

Consult with your Cannondale Dealer if you

have any questions.

SEAT POST

For more information about carbon ﬁber

seat posts, see also “APPENDIX D. Care and

Maintenance of Carbon Fiber Seat Posts” in

your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.

Please Note:

■The seatpost size is 27.2mm. Do not use adapters

or shims.

■ The seatpost MINIMUM INSERT depth is 100mm.

■ The frame INSERT LIMIT varies with frame size. Do

not allow an installed seatpost to touch the water bottle

boss. This will result in damage.

■Apply carbon gel inside the seat tube and on the seat

post before inserting the seatpost.

■ Apply a light bicycle bearing grease to the area of seat post

under the binder.

WARNING

THE SEAT POST MUST ONLY BE CUT BY A

PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC. Incorrectly

cutting the seat post can result in damage leading

to an accident.

130919.PDF

Cup/Bearing Installation

Thoroughly clean the inside surface of the bottom

bracket shell with a clean dry shop towel.

Apply bearing grease** to the BB shell and cup.

Press each cup individually with the headset press

until the cup ﬂange is mated with the BB shell face.

Apply bearing grease to each bearing and press one

at a time into the already installed cups.

Removal

To avoid damage to the frame, drive out bearing

out of the installed cup. Then, drive out each bearing

cup. Drive both the bearings and cups out squarely

and evenly. Do not pry components from shell.

Maintenance

In general, you should inspect the condition of the

BB bearings annually (at a minimum) or anytime the

crankset assembly is disassembled, serviced, or if a

problem is indicated.

To inspect, when the crankset is removed, rotate the

inner bearing race of both bearings; rotation should

be smooth, and quiet. Execesssive play, roughness

or corrossion indicates a damaged bearing.

Do not reinstall removed bearings or cups. Replace

both cups/bearings as a new set.

NOTICE

Consult with your Cannondale Dealer on the

quality and compatibilty of any proposed

replacement component.

Make sure the PRESSFIT BB30 30 system

is intended for use with a 46 mm I.D. BB

shell. Conﬁrm acutel part dimensions with a

micrometer. Do not use chemical solvents to

clean. Do not remove frame material or use

surfacing tools on bottom bracket shell.

Frame damage, caused by improper

components, component installation or removal

is not covered by your warranty.

** Loctite 609 Loctite 609 can be used instead of

grease to install the BB cups. Bonding improves the

BB shell and cups interface and can also eliminate

any creaking that develops. Please follow the Loctite

instrcutions if you decide to bond the cups.

ASYMMETRIC INTEGRATION (Ai) - SI HOLLOWGRAM

■ DRIVE & NON-DRIVE SPACER: Please note the location and size of the non-drive and drive side spacers

(opposite page)

■ Ai SPIDERS: Speciﬁc spiders have been developed for the Ai driveline. They are manufactured to

accomodate the 6mm oset present in the frame. Note that the spiders are laser etched on the inside

faces with the speciﬁc chainring BCD and chainring compatability.

■ 137mm SPINDLE: The 137mm spindle used must be “Ai compatible.” A compatible Ai spindle will have

bearing lands (areas shown shaded )that are 5mm wider than the previous revision 137mm spindle. Older

revisions of the 137mm MTN spindle are not Ai compatible, but an Ai compatible spindle will work ﬁne on

older 137mm cranksets.

■ RH CRANKARM ASSEMBLY: As evident in the upper illustration, the RH Crankarm, Spider, and Spindale

are inserted into the BB as an assembly with the 9mm drive side spacer and bearing shield added

beforehand. It is important to apply a high-quality bearing grease to the areas indicated in the lower

illustration and also note the application of Loctite 242 (blue) a removable thread locking agent.

■ FD SPACERS: The front derailleur spacers are necessary to move the position of a derailleur outboard.

You can see that the spacers attach directly to the frame and the derailleurs are then ﬁtted to the

spacers. Please note that the spacers are etched with the type of derailleur. These spacers are available

as kits. See Replacement Parts in this supplement.
