FORK WARNINGS CONTINUED

If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may

develop also increases your risk. When braking, the front of

a suspended bike dips. You could have a bad accident if

your skill is not up to handling this system. Get to know how

to handle your suspension system well before trying any

very fast biking.

Likewise, suspension will increase handling capabilities and

comfort of your bicycle. This enhanced capability may allow

you to ride faster. But do not confuse the enhanced

capabilities of a suspension bike with your own capabilities.

Increasing your skill will take time and practice. Proceed

carefully until you are sure you are competent to handle the

full capabilities of your bike.

Use only brakes designed to be mounted to existing

cantilever bosses. Do not attempt to add any brake mount or

use any brake device that requires adapting the fork’s existing

brake mounts. Altering or adapting existing brake mounts or

installing new brake mounts will void the fork’s warranty and

may result in structural failure of the fork. Structural failure of

the fork will result in loss of control of the bicycle, placing the

rider in danger of serious injury or death.

Preload Adjustment: Before the bike is ridden, front and rear spring preload

must be adjusted to rider weight. If too much preload is applied, the suspension

will be stiff and unresponsive; too little preload and the rider may feel

“bouncing” while climbing or accelerating hard, and may tend to bottom out the

shock (compress it to the limit of its travel) on large bumps.

The HeadShok front suspension uses a steel coil and MCU spring and a

mechanical air damper, also known as a shock absorber. These components

are hidden from view inside the HeadShok. To adjust the front suspension

spring preload, first use a 6mm hex wrench to remove the stem extension tube.

You will now see a hole in the center of the top of the fork. Insert a 4mm hex

Spring rate: The force needed to compress the spring one inch. Heavier people

need a higher spring rate than lighter people.

Preload: The initial amount of force placed on the spring. Preload is used to

change or adjust spring rate and therefore sag.

Sag: The amount that the suspension compresses with the rider sitting on the

bike in a normal position. It is usually expressed in percent of suspension travel.

Sag allows the wheel to travel downward to follow the terrain.

Easy Rider fork: The Easy Rider fork features the patented HeadShok

telescoping steerer tube assembly that uses 88 needle bearings for smooth,

responsive suspension action. The fork blades are TIG-welded 6061-T6

aluminum for a lightweight but stiff fork structure for precise steering. These

forks are not disc brake compatible. Do not attempt to fit disc brakes with any

clamps and/or adapters.

The Easy Rider fork includes the MC60 cartridge that offers 60mm of travel

using the Advanced Spring System’s coil spring / MCU combination. The

cartridge also features a mechanical air damper that controls the compression

and rebound speed of the spring.

FORK WARNINGS

If the suspension fork ever begins to make “knocking” or

“clunking” noises, or if it ever shows an unexplained

increase in travel, or looks like it is extended farther than it

was originally, stop riding the bike and bring it to a

Cannondale dealer for inspection. Possible indications of a

problem are:

An increase in the fork’s extension or travel.

A stretched-out fork boot.

A stretched or strained front brake cable.

“Knocking” or “clunking” noises coming from fork.

If any of the above symptoms are ignored, the result could

be a separation of the fork from the bicycle frame.

Separation of the fork could lead to an accident, with risk of

serious injury or death.
