WARNING
DO NOT RIDE YOUR SCALPEL IF YOU SEE ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE, SUCH AS BROKEN, SPLINTERED, OR
DELAMINATED THERMOPLASTIC CARBON FIBER.
A delamination or break in the adhesive bond between the bottom bracket or dropouts and the
carbon fiber chain stays may be present if the seam has turned white. You should also periodically
inspect the aluminum part of the frame for cracks. If you have any questions, contact your
Cannondale retailer, or contact Cannondale directly. Continuing to ride a damaged frame increases
the chances of frame failure, with the possibility of injury or death of the rider.
