waRnInG

This supplement may include procedures beyond 
the scope of general mechanical aptitude. 

Special tools, skills, and knowledge may be 
required. Improper mechanical work increases the 
risk of an accident. Any bicycle accident has risk 
of serious injury, paralysis or death. To minimize 
risk we strongly recommend that owners always 
have mechanical work done by an authorized 
Cannondale retailer. 

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.
