Before re- installing (same or new): Clean
dropout and inspect carefully for any cracks or
damage. Clean surfaces and apply a light film
of bike grease to the dropout to minimize any
noise or "creaking" that might result from very
slight movement between the dropout and
hanger during movement of the derailleur.
Apply grease and Loctite® carefully. Do not
contaminate the male or female bolt threads
with grease which would cause the Loctite®
to be ineffective.
Check derailleur adjustment after
replacement. Readjust wheel quick release
so it is very tight. See PART I Section 4. A in
your Cannondale Bicycle Owner's Manual.
