Bearing Maintenance

Inspect bearing condition annually (at a minimum) and anytime the crankset assembly is disassembled or serviced. With the crankset removed, rotate the inner bearing race of both bearings; rotation should be smooth. No play or movement inside the shell. If the bearing is damaged, replace both bearings with new ones.

Bearing Removal/Installation (Professional Bike Mechanic Only)

Remove the old bearings with the bearing removal tool KT011/.

Reinstall bearings with a headset press and tool KT010/. Clean inside of shell apply a high-quality bicycle bearing grease to the inside surface. Press bearing one at a time. Press each bearing until seated against the circlip. Following installation, apply a light coating of a high-quality bicycle bearing grease to both sides of each bearing to help repel moisture.

TIP: Unless a circlip is damaged, removal is unnecessary during bearing removal. Use a small thin-blade screw driver or pick to lift the

hooked end up out of the groove and then pushing the circlip out counter-clockwise.

Adapter Removal/Installation (Professional Bike Mechanic Only)

To install, rst remove the bearings and circlips and clean the inside of the BB shell and adapter. Use a clean lint-free shop towel dampened with alcohol. Apply Loctite™ 609 carefully to the bearing seat positions to both shell and adapter. Install the adapter with a headset press and the installation tool KF368/. Adapter groove must be located on the BB drive side. Press until the groove side face is ush with the drive side face of shell. Allow at least 12 hours (at 72°F) for the Loctite to cure before installing the standard bottom bracket crankset. Follow Loctite Technical Data Sheet http://tds.loctite.com/tds5/docs/609-EN.PDF

To remove, use tool KF366/ with a headset bearing press with tool arrangement as shown. Following removal, it will be necessary to clean all remaining Loctite residue with a before reinstalling the Si circlips and bearings. Use Loctite 768. Use a dental pick to remove any adhesive from the grooves. For Loctite clean-up instructions : http://tds.loctite.com/

NOTICE

BEARINGS - Frequent or routine renewal of undamaged bearings is not recommended. Repeated removal and reinstallation

can damage the inside BB shell surfaces resulting in poor bearing t. Do not face, mill or machine the bottom bracket shell for any reason. Doing so can result in serious damage and possibly a ruined bike frame.

ADAPTERS - Use only adapters/tool recommended by Cannondale. Other available adapters /tools may cause damage. See Replacement Parts. An adapter isn’t a “repair” part, so the BB shell must be in good condition. Repeated removal and reinstallation of an adapter, or improper tools can cause damage. Therefore it is not recommended.

Loctite 609 - Prolonged contact with the frame nish may result in discoloration or damage. Be sure to immediately wipe up any spills and remove any compound in contact with the painted surfaces.

Do not cut, face, or use abrasives to clean the inside if the BB shell.

We strongly recommend that these procedures be performed by an Authorized Cannondale Dealer. Damage caused by improper installation/removal is not covered under your warranty.

Using the Sag Indicator

The sag indicator is inserted in the left side of the bike in the downtube pivot axle.

1. Set air pressure. See page 16.

2. R otate the sag arm to the frame stop, shown above.

3. Sit on saddle, feet on pedals in riding position.

If the arm rotates further beyond the “SAG” mark toward the “100%” mark, it is telling you that more than 33-40% sag is present. See above. For more sag, move down a row in the air pressure chart. For less sag, move up a row.

4. Dismount. Check arm travel. If the recommended sag 33%-40% sag is present the “SAG” bar will be at the frame stop. See above.

The sag indicator assembly can be removed from the downtube pivot by simply pulling it out.

Please note that the DYAD RT2 is to be mounted only in the frame in the position shown below.

Pre-Ride Checks

1. Clean the outside of your shock with soap and water and wipe dry with a soft dry rag. Inspect the entire exterior of the shock. DO NOT RIDE THE SHOCK IF YOU FIND DAMAGE. Please contact FOX Racing Shox for further inspection and repair.

2. Set Sag. See Setting Sag.

3. Set Rebound. See Setting Rebound.

Page 17

Setting Sag:

1. Set shock to the FLOW - 180 mm (long travel) mode with the remote lever. In this mode, the

sag you set will be 100%. When the DYAD RT2 is switched to the ELEVATE - 110mm mode , the sag is automatically reduced to 60%.

2. Remove negative air valve cap.

Connect the pump (Cannondale 1MP01/SLV) to the negative air pressure valve, press and hold the release button to release all air pressure.

Replace the valve cap.

4. Remove positive air valve cap. Attach the

pump to positive air valve.

Set positive air pressure for your weight according to the DYAD RT2 Recommended Air Pressure table. Replace the valve cap.

NOTICE

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SHOCK: 1. Follow the setting sag step in order. 2. Follow/maintain high and low

pressure limits. 3. Make sure the suspension pump and DYAD RT2 valves are clean before attachment.

WARNINGS

USE ON LY HIGHPRESSURE AIR PU MP - CANNONDALE - 1MP01/SLV TO SET OR READ PRESSURE Use of an

incompatible pump (one not designed for the high pressure range of the shock) , can result serious personal injury or result in an improper pressure setting or reading which can contribute to a loss of rider control and accident.

Disconnecting the pump results in very small pressure loss. To determine actual loss for your pump, set pressure, disconnect and reconnect. You can compensate by adding the loss to the table values.

Page 19

Setting Rebound

Rebound controls the rate at which your rear wheel returns after it has been compressed. The proper rebound setting is of personal preference, and varies with rider weight, riding style and conditions. A basic rule of thumb is to set rebound to be as quick as possible, without kicking back and pushing you o the saddle.

To set rebound :

1. The rebound circuits work independently. Make sure the remote travel lever is set to the travel mode you’re setting. See Setting Travel..

2. Turn the selected rebound knob clockwise until it stops. Turn it couter-clockwise; counting each click. A good starting point to begin adjustments is 7 clicks out from closed. Each rebound dial has about 13 clicks of adjustment range.

ELEVATE 110 mm FLOW 180 mm

NOTICE

Do not force rebound dial past stop point.

WARNING

KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM MOVING LINKAGE. Make adjustments when you

are o the saddle, not riding or sitting on bike. Attempting to adjust rebound while sitting or riding in motion on your bicycle can lead to a serious hand/nger injury or a loss of rider control, which can result in serious injury or death.

Page 20

126585.PDF

Setting Travel

The DYAD RT2 has two travel modes, activated by the remote handlebar-mounted lever. Switching between the modes changes the bike’s sag and BB height, oering a higher BB and steeper angles for climbing, or a lower BB and slacker angles for descending, keeping the rider in the proper position for the terrain. It is fundamentally like having two dierent bikes available to you at the ick of a switch.

To operate remote lever :

Push the lever forward until it clicks into place in the ELEVATE 110 mm position.

Press the lever button to release the lever and allow cable tension to return the lever to the FLOW 180 mm position.

Page 21

Remote Cable Installation

Attach remote cable with shock unmounted from frame.

1. Place bike in a work stand with the rear wheel supported so the linkage does not move and the shock can be positioned and reconnected.

2. Determine cable housing length. Allow sucient slack for proper shock operation and full handlebar steering rotation. Too much housing can interference with moving frame parts.

3. Install ferrules at both ends of the cable housing.

4. Set lever to FLOW - 180mm mode. Insert a new derailleur cable (1.2 mm) into lever, housing end through to the shock end.

5. Feed housing/cable under shock bridge, and into the bottom of the shock spool chamber, and out the shock cable anchor. Make sure that you have a new or cleanly snipped cable, or the anchor set screw is backed out far enough. Other wise, you may have diculty feeding the cable through the spool chamber and past the anchor set screw.

WARNING

HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD - Do not remove the spool

chamber end caps for any reason! Ver y high-pressure can propel the end caps with extreme force and velocity, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

6. Pulling the cable taut, tighten the cable anchor 1.5mm set screw rmly (5-10 in-lb torque).

7. Snip the cable 0.5” above the cable anchor, and cap it.

Page 22

8. Install the Dyad RT2 back into the bicycle frame.

Clean the mounting bolt threads, apply Loctite 242 (blue)

and tighten to 8.0 Nm, 71 InLbs.

9. Secure the housing to the DT frame guide.

10. Test the lever for normal operation between the 180mm and 110mm travel modes.
