MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance schedule is intended as a general guide only. Where and how you ride will affect how
often and what items are serviced on your vehicle. Weather conditions, terrain (e.g. sand, dirt, dusty, wet, etc.), and
your riding style all influence how often a maintenance item should be performed. For example, if you ride in sandy
conditions, the time (interval) between servicing the drive chain, sprockets and other drive components will be
shortened since sand is very abrasive and will act to wear them more quickly. If you have questions about estab-
lishing a maintenance schedule appropriate to you riding style and conditions, contact your Cannondale dealer.
Perform the Pre-Ride Inspection before every ride and at scheduled maintenance periods.
NOTE
1. Service more frequently if operating in dusty, sandy, or snowy areas.
2. Service more frequently if operating in wet or muddy conditions.
3. Replace every 2 years
