Scheduled Maintenance Program: This maintenance chart was
developed by gathering data and opinions from industry and media
authorities, from our ESAL test laboratory, and from our own experience.
There are many repairs and services not listed here that does not
mean that you can ignore them! This chart should be viewed as a set of
minimums, created to help keep your Jekyll reasonably safe and running
smoothly. It is meant to involve you in the inspection and maintenance of
your bicycle. Please communicate with the professional mechanic at your
retailer. The harder you ride, the more often you'll want to perform the
inspections and services listed here.
JEKYLL GEOMETRY ADJUSTMENT
The adjustable geometry of all Jekyll frames allow for head tube angles
of 69.5 to 71 degrees, with corresponding bottom bracket heights of
12.9 inches (32.8cm) to 13.5 inches (34.3cm). Many Jekyll riders do a
little of everything on their bikes, and after a little geometry trial-and-
error, end up sticking with a setting that works well for them in most
conditions. Some riders change geometry only when faced with terrain
way out of the ordinary, while still others fine-tune the geometry almost
continuously. How often you change your Jekyll geometry is up to you -
here's how to do it:
The above checklist intentionally excludes suggestions about
when to repair or replace bike components. The proper time to
repair or replace something is determined by how often and how
hard you use it and is therefore unpredictable. You'll be more likely
to notice when your bike needs service by following the above
checklist and by noticing how your bike performs on a daily basis.
When service is required, if you have any doubts about your ability
to perform the proper procedures, visit your nearest authorized
Cannondale dealer or service professional. Incorrect repair of your
bike or any of its components and systems may seriously reduce
performance and could lead to injury or death.
