Cannondale Bicycles - Manual (Page 39)

It's important to your performance, enjoyment and safety to under-
stand how things work on your bicycle. Even if you're an experienced
bicyclist, don't assume that the way things work on your new bike is the
same as how they work on older bikes. Be sure to read -- and to under-
stand -- this section of the Manual. If you have even the slightest doubt
as to whether you understand something, talk to your dealer.
A. WHEEL QUICK RELEASE
WARNING: Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release
can allow the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle,
causing damage to the bicycle, and serious injury or death to the
rider. Therefore, it is essential that you:
1. Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know
how to install and remove your wheels safely.
2. Understand and apply the correct technique for
clamping your wheel in place with a quick release.
3. Each time, before you ride the bike,
check that the wheel is securely clamped.
