Cannondale HEADSHOK LEFTY Manuel Du Propriétaire page 12

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 origi-
nally, or if the fork loses its ability to lock out
("D", "DD", "DL", "DLR", and "ELO" type car-
tridges only), stop riding the bike and bring it to
a HeadShok dealer for inspection. Possible indi-
cations 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.
• A sudden loss of lock out ability on car-
tridges which feature lock out.
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.
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 han-
dle your suspension system well before trying
any downhill or 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.
Only use brakes designed to be mounted to the
existing disc brake mount on the fork. Do not
attempt to add any brake mount or use any brake
device that requires adapting the fork's existing
brake mount. Altering or adapting the existing
brake mount or installing new brake mounts will
void the fork's warranty and may result in struc-
tural 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.
If the Lefty fork crowns are set with less than
110mm of clear-ance between the tire and the
bottom of the lower crown, there is a risk of con-
tact between the tire and the lower crown when
the fork is completely compressed. If such tire /
crown contact occurs while riding, the front
wheel could stop suddenly and throw the rider
over the handlebars, with risk of serious injury or
death.
