MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH SPECIFICATION
Your Cannondale bike frame was designed and tested to a specific MAXIMUM
FORK LENGTH. See below. Installing a fork with a MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH that
is longer that specified for the frame, can overload the frame causing it to fail and
break suddenly while riding. A rider can be severely injured or killed as a result.
How MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH is
measured:
· THE FORK MUST BE INSTALLED and
FULLY EXTENDED.
· MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM
BOTTOM OF FRAME HEAD TUBE TO
CENTER LINE of WHEEL AXLE.
Do not measure from bottom of
headset bearing cups or headset
parts!

WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL FORKS WITH A MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH LONGER THAN THE
SPECIFICATION FOR YOUR BIKE. A longer fork can overload the frame causing it
to fail (break) while riding. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an
accident.
To find this important specification you can:
1. Consult the Owner's Manual Supplement for you bike.
2. Ask your Cannondale Dealer.
3. Visit our website Tech Center at http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/tech/ or
