Front Derailleur

Set Up Information-Due to changes made by Shimano for the 2005 model year.
It is necessary to follow Cannondale’s recommended front derailleur setup. Depending on the model and year of your front derailleur
set up will differ.
1. Set the Rear Shock into the FR Position- The FR shock position will mimic the position of the chain as it will be when the bike is
ridden. When in the XC position, the chain may rest to low to catch the shift ramps on the inner and out plate of the front derailleur.
This will not be an issue when the bike is ridden.

2. Crank and BB Installation - For general installation instructions, required tools, and torque spec’s, read the crank manufacturer’s
instruction manual. See linked PDF’s.

3. Spacers and O-Ring Placement - Determine the model and year of you front derailleur and use the appropriate arrangement of the
spacers and O-rings per Cannondale recommendation. This set up may vary from the crank manufacturer instructions.
