About This Supplement
Cannondale Owner’s Manual Supplements
provide important model specific safety,
maintenance, and technical information.
They are not replacements for your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
This supplement may be one of several for
your bike. Be sure to obtain and read all of
them.
If you need a manual or supplement, or have
a question about your bike, please contact
your Cannondale Dealer immediately, or call
us at one of the telephone numbers listed
on the back cover of this manual.
You can download Adobe Acrobat PDF
versions of any Cannondale Owner’s
Manuals or Supplements from our website:

• This manual is not a comprehensive
safety or service manual for your bike.
• This manual does not include assembly
instructions for your bike.
• All Cannondale bikes must be
completely assembled and inspected
for proper operation by a Cannondale
Dealer before delivery to the owner.
WARNING
This document may include procedures
beyond the scope of general mechanical
aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge may
be required. Improper mechanical work
increases the risk of an accident. Any
bicycle accident has risk of serious injury,
paralysis or death. To minimize risk
we strongly recommend that owners
always have mechanical work done by an
authorized Cannondale retailer.
Safety Messages
In this manual, information which affects
your safety is emphasized in the following
ways:
WARNING
A WARNING indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, can result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
A CAUTION Indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, can result in serious damage
to the product. The matters described
under CAUTION may, if not avoided,
lead to personal injury, or results
depending on the situation and
degree of damage. Important matters
are described in CAUTION (as well as
WARNING), so be sure to observe them.
A NOTE provides helpful information or tips

Intended Use
INTENDED for cross-country riding
and racing which ranges from mild to
agressive over intermediate terrain
(e.g., hilly with small obstacles like
roots, rocks, loose surfaces and hard
pack and depressions). In XC riding,
there are no large “sick drop” or drop
offs, jumps or launches (wooden
structures, dirt embankments) requiring
long suspension travel or heavy duty
components. Cross-country forks are
light-weight, favoring nimble speed
over brute force. Suspension travel is
relatively short since the bike is intended
to move quickly on the ground and not
spend time in the air landing hard and
hammering through things.
NOT INTENDED for use in extreme forms
of jumping/riding such as hardcore
mountain, Freeriding, Downhill, North
Shore, Dirt Jumping, Hucking etc.
WARNING
USING YOUR LEFTY IMPROPERLY IS
HAZARDOUS.
Warning Label
Located on the lower leg of the Lefty. Do
not remove it. If it is missing or damaged,
you can obtain a free replacement from
Cannondale.
Bike Suspension And
Your Skills And Abilities
WARNING
YOU COULD HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT IF
YOUR SKILL IS NOT UP TO HANDLING A
SUSPENSION SYSTEM.
Suspension systems (front fork, rear
shocks) can increase the handling and
stability of most bicycles. If you lack the
skills and experience necessary to ride
at higher speeds and maneuver over
difficult terrain at the greatly increased
performance level, you can ride faster
than your abilities. You can lose control
of the bike in these conditions and crash.
Anytime you lose control of the bike,
especially at high speed and in advanced
terrain, you risk severe injury or death in
a crash.
• Ride at reduced speeds.
• Learn the performance characteristics
of your bike and suspension components
before trying any downhill or very fast
biking.
•Ride within your skills and abilities.
•Take a bicycle training course.

front wheel
REMOVAL
1. Place bike in a work stand with front
wheel off the ground.
2. Loosen the brake caliper mounting bolts.
3 Tilt the lower caliper bolt out of the boss
so the caliper is up out of the way of the
disc. Snug up on the upper bolt to hold
caliper in place.
Note brake alignment shims between
Lefty brake bosses and the caliper.
4. Turn hub bolt (1) counter-clockwise to
remove the hub from the spindle.
NOTE: As the bolt is turned counter-
clockwise, it will begin to back against the
hub cap bolt (2) causing the hub (3) to
be drawn out and off the spindle bearing
seats. Since the hub bolt is actually retained
inside the hub body by the hub cap, the bolt
will remain in the hub when the wheel is
removed. There is no need to remove that
cap from the hub. See the exploded view on
page 8.
CAUTION
Make sure the axle bolt is completely
loose before attempting to remove the
wheel from the spindle.

5. Carefully slide the wheel off of the
spindle carefully.

CAUTION
1. Cover the opening of a removed hub/
wheel with a clean towel to prevent
contamination.
2. Protect spindle when wheel removed.
A fall or drop to the ground can
destroy or damage the spindle.
INSTALLATION
1. Inspect the inside of the wheel hub for
contamination and and the condition
of the hub seal. Take corrective action if
necessary.
Wipe all parts clean with a dry shop
towel and apply a high-quality bike
grease to:
I.D. of the larger hub cartridge bearing .
Both spindle bearing lands .
Spindle axle bolt threads.
WARNING
Do not contaminate brake caliper, pads,
or rotor with grease.
2. Slide the wheel straight onto the
spindle so, the larger hub bearing starts
to position on it spindle seat. At this
point, the axle bolt threads can correctly
engage the threaded spindle if the
wheel is held on straight.
NOTE:
Install the front wheel by positioning the
bike horizontally with the spindle facing
up. Then place the hub straight down
onto the spindle, and tighten the axle
bolt.
3. When the axle bolt threads engage
the spindle, turn the bolt clockwise
with finger force slowly to allow the
hub bearings to slide onto the spindle
bearing seats.
Once the hub has been drawn onto the
hub completely, and proper threading is
evident, use torque wrench to tighten
to final 15.0 N•m (133.0 In•Lbs).
4. Reinstall the brake caliper. Tighten bolts
to 78.0 In•Lbf (9.0 N•m.)
CAUTION
LOCATE DISC BETWEEN THE PADS.
Replace shims that are in use, be sure
the shims are positioned between the
caliper (adapter if any) and inner face of
the fork mounts not under the head of
the caliper bolts.
USE ONLY 16 MM (Cannondale kit #
LEFTYBOLTS. Longer bolts can result in
contact with the brake rotor causing
severe damage. Check clearance
between the bolt tips and rotor after
remounting the caliper.
5. Spin the wheel to make sure it spins
freely. Be sure to test the brakes for
proper operation before riding.

front brake
WARNING
DO NOT RIDE WITHOUT A PROPERLY
MOUNTED, ADJUSTED, AND
FUNCTIONING FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM.
Why? In addition to providing speed
control, the front brake system on your
Lefty (disc/caliper) acts as an integral
secondary wheel retention system. If the
system is missing or improperly installed,
or if the wheel hub axle bolt should
loosen, the front wheel could slide off
the spindle end.
When mounting IS compatible brake
systems:
Follow manufacturer’s instructions
when mounting the brake caliper to the
spindle brake bosses. Do not modify
the fork in any way.
PLEASE ASK YOUR CANNONDALE
DEALER FOR HELP WHEN INSTALLING
COMPATIBLE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEMS.
Mount the front brake caliper using the 16
mm bolts of Cannondale kit LEFTYBOLTS.
See next figure.
This photo shows the area where
incorrect bolts will interfere with disc
rotation possibly causing severe damage.
Correct bolts are shown above.
In addition to checking to make sure
the bolt ends do not protrude, you must
ensure proper thread engagement.
Make sure the brake disc can not make
contact with the fork boot. A rotating brake
disc can wear through the boot allowing
contaminants into the fork.
