DONT buy a CANNONDALE!!!!

Uploaded by bdcrispell on Nov 3, 2009
This was a perfect jump and landing. I bought the bike 3 months ago and have put less than 100 miles on it. Cannondale says this 4,000 dollar mountain bike wasnt intended for this type of use and they wont cover the damage under warranty. This is an obvious component failure in my opinion. It was a SRAM X-9 rear deraileur. Their explanation word for word:
"The Scalpel is not intended for the type of jump shown. Due to the jump your bike cross chained hence the damaged caused."
Make your own assumptions, but I never intend on using Cannondale or SRAM products ever again.

damn fool. it wasnt even the bike! It was the fact you were too cheap to buy a chain guide.
-
You are a DUMB ASS. It was the derailleur that broke you retard, not the bike.
-
umm, cannondale is a great bike. sram on the other hand is shit, get shimano xtr and you wont have a problem.

wow a stair set on a xc bike thats a fucking awesome idea....fucking dumbass

"Perfect landing"
Lands sideways

You are a freaking idiot. What Cannondale said is totally true. Jumping a Scalpel which relies on flexing chainstays instead of pivots for its suspension like that is asking for trouble. If you want to jump get a dirt jump bike or a burlier full suspension with more travel.

I'm virtually certain that both Cannondale and SRAM would be delighted by your decision to stop using their products. You are exactly the type of loser that nobody (including riders who know what they're doing) wants to deal with.

Wow your an idiot that's why you don't jump on an XC bike. and when you land sideways like you did the sideways force on the rear mech sent it into the spokes.

You're sense of entitlement is absurd! You're on an XC race bike with a long cage rear derailleur and a whole lot of extra chain to wrap around those three chainrings up front. You landed sideways and almost hit your stupid face on the stem! No wonder your chain got sucked into your spokes and pulled your derailleur in with it!!! I bet the mechanics at the bike shop and everyone at Cannondale were laughing at you when you tried to plead your case!
