Exercise caution with chainrings and pointed, aggressive platform pedals, as they have sharp and potentially dangerous surfaces.
If you have features (such as suspension or brake systems) not covered by this manual, you should have a supplement included with your manual. If you suspect that supplements might be missing, contact your Authorized Cannondale Retailer, or call us at one of the numbers listed on the back cover.
CAUTION: Cannondale urges consumers not to install “Bar Ends” on bicycles. Some handlebars are designed to take the added stress of bar ends, others are not. Very lightweight handlebars may be particularly poorly suited for bar ends. If you want bar ends, consult your Authorized Cannondale Retailer about suitable choices, read and follow instructions and warnings that accompany the handlebars and bar ends, and inspect the handlebars and bar ends regularly.
Be careful when making tight turns. Be aware that many small frame size bicycles with 700c wheels, such as racing, touring and hybrid, may not have clearance between the toe clips and the front tire. Avoid such contact, which could distract you, disrupt your turn or cause a fall. (see section E.)
