SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use of Track Bikes
The following warning information applies to both Cannondale Track bikes and
Cannondale Track framesets:
WARNING
A TRACK BICYCLE OR FRAMESET MUST NOT BE RIDDEN ON A PUBLIC
ROAD!
A track bike IS NOT equipped with reflectors, brakes, or a secondary
retention device for the front wheel. It has a fixed gear. These
characteristics of the track bike are specifically designed for use
exclusively on a track or velodrome, where they are necessary and/or
desirable. These characteristics add significantly to the risk of riding on
public roads.
You can minimize the risk of riding this track bike by not riding it on
public roads. The hazards of bicycle riding cannot be completely avoided.
They can be minimized with training, good judgement, experience and
use of a helmet.
Regardless of your current ability, there will be a learning curve associated
with riding your track bike. Reading and understanding this supplement,
the Cannondale Owner’s Manual, and all warning labels are essential and
will help you begin the learning process.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR KILLED IN AN
ACCIDENT IF YOU IGNORE THESE WARNINGS.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) Compliance
Bicycles sold in the U.S. are required to meet 16 CFR part 1512 - Requirements
for bicycles. In the scope of these regulations Track bicycles are specifically
exempt from the regulations. Cannondale has built, and you have purchased,
a true competition-ready track bicycle or frameset. The reason that track
bicycles are exempt is because they are built solely for use on the track.
Please read and comply with the warning above.
Track Bikes Have Specific Riding
Characteristics
Track bicycles have steep head tube angles and short wheelbases. This
frame geometry and these characteristics make for a nimble, responsive
racing machine. These same characteristics make a track bicycle
demanding to ride. This geometry, combined with the inability to coast or
backpedal while turning, will create so-called “toe clip overlap” in some
frame sizes, so please read Section A. of the Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s
Manual.
Spend time and progressively learn the handling and feel of your new
track bicycle in training and practice sessions before you attempt to
race.
Cannondale urges you to get involved with the USA Cycling coaches,
racers and ocials at your local track. USA Cycling and local tracks run
training clinics and can assist you with learning to ride on the track and to
maintain, service, and tune track bikes. Visit www.usacycling.org/track/
Mechanical Adjustments
This owner’s supplement makes no attempt to be a comprehensive manual
on bicycle mechanics. If you are not an experienced mechanic we urge you to
bring your bicycle to an Authorized Cannondale Dealer where a professional
mechanic can do the job right. In addition to putting yourself at risk, poorly
done mechanical work may void your warranty. This section covers design
features unique to track bikes, and is intended primarily for the Authorized
Cannondale Dealer performing the assembly and adjustments.
WARNING
All Cannondale bicycles must be fully assembled and adjusted
by an Authorized Cannondale Retailer before delivery to the
customer.
Your Cannondale Dealer should have correctly performed all adjustments
before the sale of the bicycle. If you feel that your bicycle is out of
adjustment, please take the bicycle to your Authorized Cannondale Dealer.
