OWNER'S MANUAL
Congratulations and thanks for purchasing the world's most innovative and
best performing full suspension design, the Cannondale Super V. Please take
a moment to read this supplement and the other literature included with the
bike, including the Cannondale Bicycle Owner's Manual and the HeadShok
®
specific supplement to familiarize yourself with the information they contain.
These will provide important safety warnings and performance tips which will
make for many miles of safe, high output riding pleasure. If you have any
questions about your frame or the contents of this manual, don't hesitate
to contact us. See the back page for phone numbers and E-mail contacts.
Your Cannondale Super V or Raven should have also included the standard
owner's manual and a front suspension specific manual. If you did not
receive both the Cannondale Bicycle Owner's Manual and the HeadShok
owner's manual, please download and print them from the Cannondale web-
site Tech Center or call our customer service line at 1-800-BIKE-USA in
the U.S. or Canada to have one sent to you.
Please note that this manual is meant to supplement, not to replace, the
Cannondale Bicycle Owner's Manual. The owner's manual contains valuable
information regarding safe operation, adjustment, and maintenance of your
bicycle, as well as more complete warranty information. Please read the
Cannondale Bicycle Owner's Manual thoroughly before riding your bicycle,
and keep it and this booklet for future reference.
Because the Super V bicycles are so unique, there are some important facts
and warnings of which you need to be aware. The warnings are written as
appropriate throughout this manual, and also at the end of the text. Please
read and heed all warnings, the information is here for your benefit.
MAINTAINING THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR SUPER V FRAME
To keep your Super V frame looking its best, we recommend cleaning it regu-
larly with mild soap and water. Regular cleaning will minimize the chances
of corrosion. Do not use abrasive cleansers or solvents. Aluminum Super V
and most Raven frames have a thin coating of clear paint over the whole
frame (including the decals.) A coating of wax can be applied if desired.
