Line & Cable Frame Protection - Cannondale PROPHET Owner's Manual Supplement

line and cable frame
protection
Normal line and cable movement against
the frame can wear away painted finishes
and decals. Overtime, cable rubbing can
wear into the frame itself causing very
serious frame damage.
Check over your bike after your first few
rides. Apply a clear adhesive guard
material in areas where rubbing is found.
When applied correctly, clear guards are
good protection for your bike.
Cannondale
Kit # KF103/ (8 PK)
To apply the guard material
(included with your bike):
1. Clean the frame with a mild detergent
and wipe dry with a clean towel. Do not
use solvents or harsh chemicals to clean
the frame. OPTIONAL: Trim the adhesive
guard material to the shape required.
2. Remove the backing and position the
guard under the cable/ line.
3. Rub the guard firmly against the frame
with your fingers to fix it in place.
4. Periodically, recheck the guards and
other areas of the frame as you continue
to ride. Replace the guards if they wear
out.
PLEASE NOTE:
Damage to your bike caused by cable
rubbing is not a condition covered under your
warranty. Also, adhesive frame guards are
not a fix for incorrectly installed or routed
cables or lines. If you find that applied guards
are wearing out very quickly, consult with
your Cannondale Dealer about the routing
on your bike.
