spring ear and shaft. Follow step 5 under "Fox Shock Setup", and step 2 under "Cable
and Housing" to finish.
If the effort to move the lockout lever to "unlocked" (or "up") is too high, but the Remote
Rear Lockout is working well otherwise, check the lever to make sure that the bearings
are adjusted properly. If the bearings are too tight, see step 3 of "Lockout Lever Setup"
for bearing adjustment instructions. If the bearings feel gritty or dry even after adjust-
ment, unscrew the inner bearing race completely and expose the bearings. Wipe the
exposed portion of the bearings with a clean rag, apply a coat of high-quality bicycle
grease (take care to keep grease off the inner bearing race threads), and reinstall the
inner bearing race. If the bearings are fine, check that the detent preload is not so high
that it's making the lever hard to operate.
If you've tried the tips offered here and still have a problem with your Remote Rear
Lockout, bring your bike to an authorized Cannondale retailer for professional
assistance.

2. Orient the lockout cam, rotating it clockwise if
necessary, so that the flat edge of the cam lines up
with the side of the cable stop bracket that reads "10
InLbs (1.1Nm)". You will need to hold the cam in
position with your thumb. Run the end of the cable
around the large-radius curve on the lockout cam and
through the set screw hole (see Fig. 10). Pull the ca-
ble tight, make sure that the flat side of the cam is
still lined up with the laser-etched side of the bracket,
and tighten the cable set screw. CAUTION: Tigh-
tening this screw deforms the cable. Over-
tightening it may weaken the cable, pos-
sibly causing it to break. Over-tightening
may also strip the screw's threads. Hold
the short end of the hex wrench and in-
sert the long end into the bolt when you
tighten. Finish the install by trimming the
end of the cable and capping it with a cable
end.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE:
After first 10 hours: check for cable stretch
by noting the cam's position when the lever
is in its locked out or "down" setting. If the
cam is positioned differently than you set it in step 2 of "Cable and Housing" above,
loosen the cable set screw, take up cable slack and re-position the cam, and re-tighten
the cable set screw.
Every 3 months: clean and apply a light coat of oil to the lockout cable (or more often if
that's how you maintain your other cables).
Every 6 months: use a thin blade to apply a light coat of grease to the detent groove on
the inside of the thumblever ring of the lockout lever.
Every 1 year: clean and regrease the lockout lever's bearings and the spring in the cable
stop bracket. Also, make sure that the cam set screw and the 2mm dogpoint cable stop
bracket screw are snug.
TUNING TIPS:
If the lockout cam doesn't return to locked position when the lockout lever is released,
check to see that: 1) the lockout shaft is moving freely in the shock, and 2) the cable is
moving freely in the housing. If both the lockout shaft and the cable are ok, you may
need to increase the spring tension. To do so, set the lockout lever to the "down" position,
manually reset the cam to its locked position, loosen the cable set screw and remove the
cable from the cam, loosen the cam set screw and allow the spring to uncoil counter-
clockwise. Lift the cam off of the lockout shaft and spring, choose the spring hole one
position in the clockwise direction from its previous setting, and replace the cam onto the
